Burger King is introducing new sweet 'burger'

BURGER King is shaking up the fast food world with its latest menu addition.

While Wendy's, McDonald's and nearly every other drive-thru joint is offering options for those practicing lent, Burger King is being a bit more innovative with its take.

After introducing a fish sandwich option like most other restaurants, Burger King took it a step forward for those still craving a burger.

Meet the dessert burger, which is stacked with your favorite sweet treats.

Named the Selma Burger, the sandwich is made with a brownie posing as the patty, whipped cream and layers of marzipan all stuffed between two halves of a pearl-sugar-topped cardamon bun, Brand Eating reported.

The tradition of lent sees people all over the globe give up certain foods or habits to improve their health or demonstrate self-restraint.

WHERE TO GET IT

Unfortunately, you'll have to take a pretty long trip to score one of these "burgers" for yourself.

Burger King is only offering them in Denmark, where the treat is more common.

This is a take on a selma or Mardi Gras bun, which is a Sweedish sweet bun that was traditionally only eaten before the fasting period of lent.

GONE FOR GOOD

While this item is just joining the menu, fans are still coping with the loss of some of their favorite Burger King meals.

Some might remember the Ch'king, even though it was only on menus for a short amount of time.

The sandwich consisted of hand-breaded chicken with mustard, bacon, mayonnaise, and savory sauce, among other ingredients.

After a little more than a year, it was removed from menus.

This did not sit well with customers as one Twitter user wrote: "BURGER KING DISCONTINUED THEIR CH’KINGS. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HIT ME UP. IM DEVASTATED."

Another item we're still missing is the Jalapeño Cheddar Bites.

These hit menus in 2020 and quickly grew in popularity as fans loved the gooey cheese and crispy coating.

While the company did warn the bites would only be around for a limited time, fans were still upset when they were no longer available.
