Burger King South Korea recently debuted the new Peanut Butter Stacker and Peanut Butter Fries.
Peanut butter is not usually found on fast food menus, but now all that is changing thanks to the new Peanut Butter Stacker and Peanut Butter Fries. The Peanut Butter Stacker starts with two of the brand’s signature grilled beef patties, which are then layered with mayo, pickles, American cheese, and a creamy peanut butter sauce made from real peanut butter and brown cheese – all sandwiched between two sesame seed buns. The new Peanut Butter Fries feature the same creamy peanut butter sauce drizzled over burger King's signature fries.
Both of the new peanut butter-infused menu items are available from participating Burger King locations across South Korea now through May 8, 2022.
