In the event that you did not already celebrate Summerween earlier this year, the countdown to Halloween has officially begun. There is no time to waste. Despite the fact that autumn is commonly referred to as “pumpkin spice season,” this does not imply that we cannot indulge in a Halloween-themed menu item in between our pumpkin spice lattes and apple cider doughnuts.
With the exception of Wendy’s, which has included limited-edition eerie Frosty toys in its kid’s meals, we have not experienced a significant number of fast food establishments releasing their Halloween menus as of yet. On the other hand, Burger King has only recently debuted its new seasonal menu, and it has the potential to make up for the shortcomings of the other outlets. As a result of the fact that Burger King’s limited-time offer does not consist of a single item on the menu, but rather a full meal consisting of four items, and it is all in collaboration with a Halloween film that is a fan favorite.
Burger King’s Halloween Menu for the Year 2024
A collaboration between Burger King and the animated film “The Addams Family” has resulted in the eerie and goofy family being added to menus around the country. The menu for “The Addams Family” has four foods that are named after members of the family. These items are Wednesday, Morticia, Gomez, and of course, Thing.
The menu that is only available for a short time includes three brand-new products and one fan-favorite item that has been repackaged. Wednesday’s Whopper, Thing’s Rings, Gomez’s Churro Fries, and Morticia’s Kooky Chocolate Shake are some of the items that may be found on the meal menu for “The Addams Family.”
In response to the enormous success of Burger King’s “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” Whopper, which featured a red bun, Wednesday’s Whopper is the traditional flame-grilled quarter-pound burger topped with tomatoes, lettuce, onions, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, and Swiss cheese. It is served on a purple bun with black sesame seeds, which are naturally dyed with purple potatoes.
Considering that Burger King was unable to prevent the Spider-Man Whopper from selling out of shops in 2023, it is reasonable to anticipate that the purple-bunned Whopper, which is identical to the 2023 version but has a different color bun, will enjoy the same level of success.
Several of the products on Burger King’s menu, like the Chicken Fries, the Mozzarella Fries, and now the Churro Fries, have gone through the process of being fried. A chocolate dipping sauce is served alongside Gomez’s Churro Fries, which are made of fried dough that has been covered in cinnamon sugar and is crunchy.
Soft serve and chocolate cake batter fudge are used in the preparation of Morticia’s Kooky Chocolate Shake, which is then topped with individual pieces of black and purple cookie. Last but not least, Thing’s Rings are nothing more than the best-selling onion rings at Burger King, repackaged in a new themed packaging.
Additionally, for a limited time, Burger King is included “The Addams Family” toys in its King Jr. Meals, in addition to the four items that are already available on the menu.
The “The Addams Family” Menu will be offered at participating Burger King restaurants across the country beginning on October 10 and will be available for as long as supplies last.
At the beginning of this month, I visited the Burger King headquarters to sample the new Halloween menu, and the following is an honest analysis of the new products.
An Open and Honest Explanation of the Halloween Menu at Burger King
When it comes to Halloween, Burger King goes all out. Whether it is the original Black Whopper, which was released in 2015, or the Ghost Pepper Whopper, which is a fan favorite, Burger King knows how to keep on topic. On the other hand, this meal is without a doubt one of my favorites.
I will be completely honest with you: I did not sample the Spider-Man Whopper in the year 2023. In fact, I had never even eaten a Whopper before I went to the Burger King kitchen for testing. However, after consuming my very first Whopper (along with my second, third, and fourth), I am able to claim that I comprehend the reasons why customers, including the Kelce brothers, are so enthusiastic about them.
The Wednesday’s Whopper is practically the same as a regular Whopper; the only difference is that it is served on a purple bread and contains Swiss cheese. However, the flavor of the bun is not altered by the purple potatoes. When compared to other fast food rivals, Burger King’s burger is more delicious than others since it is flame-grilled, which is the company’s characteristic method of cooking products.
It came as quite a surprise to me how big the Whopper was. The burger is rather substantial, and to tell you the truth, it does not look or taste at all like a burger from a fast food restaurant. When I say that it reminds me of something you could order at a bar or a restaurant that serves casual dining, I mean it in the most positive manner possible. You are paying for the value of fast food, but in exchange, you are receiving a burger that is both delicious and of good quality.
You are correct that Thing’s Rings are only an existing menu item that has been given a new themed packaging. However, considering that Burger King’s onion rings are a fan favorite, it is only natural that they will spotlight them. Despite the fact that I am a huge admirer of onion rings, I believe that Burger King’s rings should be accompanied by a little bit of ketchup or sauce.
The Churro Fries produced by Gomez are an unanticipated addition to the menu at Burger King. Because there aren’t many fast food restaurants in the United States that provide them, it was a risky move that I believe ended up being quite successful.
When it comes to the Churro Fries, the exterior is wonderfully crispy, while the interior is soft and pillowy. In addition, they have a generous coating of cinnamon sugar, which is something that I will never be able to grumble about. There is a great sweetness that is added by the chocolate dipping sauce, but you almost don’t even need it because the churros are not only delicious but also stand on their own.
The greatest was left for last since, in my opinion, Morticia’s Kooky Chocolate Shake was the best item on the whole “The Addams Family” menu. Throughout the month of October, I will be placing further orders for this.
The milkshake is not too sweet, despite the fact that it is mixed with fudge that is derived from chocolate cake batter. With a flavor that is almost reminiscent of cookies and cream, it is the ideal combination of chocolate and a smooth texture. The moment you receive a bit of crispy cookie through the straw, it really takes it to the next level; thus, you should absolutely stir the shake before you dig in so that you can distribute all of the cookie pieces evenly.
Taking everything into consideration, Burger King did an outstanding job with its Halloween-themed menu that is suitable for families. I have no doubt that the purple-colored Wednesday Whopper will be the focus of the release; nevertheless, you should not overlook the new dessert options that are available. Also, if you happen to be reading this, I would like to request ten additional chocolate shakes, if you don’t mind.
