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

Burger King confirmed the release of two new menu items to USA TODAY, with more "big" news to come next week. 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.
