Burger King will soon offer more options to "have it your way" - this time with lots of bacon.

One limited-time product, a sweet, bacon-heavy twist on the classic Whopper, is already available at restaurants as of Jan. 29, while a spicy update to its crispy fish sandwich is set for next month.
News of the new items was anticipated by fans after popular food and snack news account Snackolator posted about the upcoming burger, along with food influencer Markie Devo.
Burger King's official social media is also teasing more announcements to come on Feb. 5, leaving fans to wonder what else is in store.
For now, here's what we know about the new Candied Bacon Whopper and Fiery Big Fish sandwiches.
Burger King Candied Bacon Whopper
A Burger King representative told USA TODAY about the Candied Bacon Whopper, which features the classic Whopper flame-grilled beef patty, tomatoes, lettuce and sesame seed bun. Crispy fried onions, garlic aioli, sweet bacon jam and brown sugar candied bacon top the new sweet, meaty sandwich.
The new Candied Bacon Whopper will be available at participating restaurants nationwide starting Monday, Jan 29. The item is limited edition and only while supplies last, so visit a store in person soon if you want to get your hands on it.
