Whataburger has announced the launch of its new Bacon Blaze Jalapeño Double, a limited-time offering that promises a blend of spice and bold flavours.

The burger features two 100% beef patties, Whataburger's Jalapeño Ranch and Jalapeño Cream Cheese, crispy bacon, aged cheddar, and jalapeño slices, all sandwiched between two toasted buns.

Whataburger senior vice president and chief marketing officer Scott Hudler said: "Our new Bacon Blaze Jalapeño Double is destined to become a quick classic with guests who want to add just the right amount of spice to their lives.

"The smoky bacon strips and jalapeño slices deliver that crunch you crave while our Creamy Jalapeño Ranch adds a little more of that bold flavour Whataburger is known for. But it's only here for a limited time, so get it while it's hot."

Available from 1 to 31 October, customers can also support a charitable cause when ordering the Bacon Blaze Jalapeño Double or any other Whataburger meal in-restaurant or at the drive-through through the company's Round-Up at the Register fundraiser for the Gary Sinise Foundation.

The burger can be ordered in a Whataburger Jr size and is available for purchase in-store or via drive-through, online, and the Whataburger App. The chain encourages customers to create an account to start earning rewards and receive exclusive offers.

For customers looking to avail of Whataburger flavours at home, the Creamy Jalapeño Ranch sauce and other signature condiments are sold at whatastore.com.

Headquartered in San Antonio, Whataburger boasts an annual systemwide revenue of over $4bn, with more than 1,050 restaurants across a 16-state footprint.

Last month, the company announced the appointment of Debbie Stroud as its new CEO.
