If only you could\u2019ve seen my face when I rolled my eyes after hearing about Burger King\u2019s Candied Bacon Whopper. Candied bacon? Bacon jam? Oooh, fancy, Burger King. Are you providing cloth napkins now, too? But after eating it, I need to put my foot in my mouth, and I will gladly do so, as long as there\u2019s a Candied Bacon Whopper attached to it because I\u2019m surprised by how much I enjoyed it.<\/p>\n
The newest Whopper variation features a flame-grilled beef patty, tomatoes, lettuce, crispy fried onions, garlic aioli, sweet bacon jam, and brown sugar candied bacon on a sesame seed bun.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I will skip writing about the beef patty, tomatoes, lettuce, and sesame seed bun because if you\u2019ve had a Whopper, you know what those bring to the table. So, let\u2019s start with the bacon jam with chewy bacon bits. It\u2019s sweet, smoky, and a little peppery, and I could be cliche here and say it\u2019s my jam, but I can\u2019t because, on its own, I can taste why it needs the other toppings to make this Whopper special. Its flavor doesn\u2019t have a strong punch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The brown sugar candied bacon doesn\u2019t look like the shriveled-up pork pieces that are Burger King\u2019s regular bacon. The sugary coating makes the bacon look better but doesn\u2019t help give it a crispy texture. It\u2019s not as sweet as the bacon jam, which allows its salty and porky goodness to come through. When combined with the sweet and savory jam, they give the burger a tasty barbecue-like vibe. Also, at times, I tasted something that reminded me of teriyaki sauce, so that might be the garlic aioli making itself known among the other toppings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As for the crispy fried onion pieces, their flavor helps complete the barbecue vibe I\u2019m tasting. They also give the burger some crispy texture, which I wish was from the bacon and lettuce, but I will take it any way I can get it. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Sure, Burger King\u2019s Candied Bacon Whopper has almost the same amount of sugar as a 20-ounce bottle of Mountain Dew, but that helps make this Whopper sweet and sahweet (Am I using that properly, kids?). I can understand how that sweetness might turn off a few taste buds, but mine appreciated every bite. I\u2019m sorry, Burger King. I thought you couldn\u2019t pull off something like this, but I was wrong.<\/p>\n
