Burger Stuffed With Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Has Burger Lovers Going Nuts

A new burger only available in Canada has the Internet going nuts, literally and figuratively. Last week The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro debuted its Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup burger as a part of its ‘Get Stuff’d’ promotion, and the sweet and salty sandwich has already become a top seller.

Co-owner Bruce Miller told ABC News that the burger chain, which has 26 locations exclusively in Canada, has always tried to push the envelope on burger innovations.

The burger costs $15.98 and includes half a pound of beef stuffed with peanut butter cups. The patty is then covered with two strips of crispy bacon, crispy onion straws and on top of that -- even more Reese's cups.

Miller says that taste testers “mouth-picked” this burger to be featured in the promotion. Online reaction to the burger has ranged from “Moving to Canada” to “This is just wrong,” but those who have actually tried the burger have said that it is definitely worth the hype.

“In a food coma, totally worth it,” wrote one customer on Instagram.

“The PBC burger was delicious! What’s not to talk about?” said another fan.

The burger will only be available until Jan. 10. If you can’t make it to The WORKS before then, fear not -— the burger chain has 64 toppings available for its burgers, and said this won’t be the last crazy creation.

It's almost as if these restaurants are actually trying to kill people.

Still doesn't touch KFC's Double Down. Where the bun is actually just 2 pieces of deep fried chicken.

At least they're only trying to kill people with this one until January 10.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit I was on board with this thing until they got to the crepe layer.

When we were in Uni this Summer, we ate at the Cowfish. I tried the "cowfish has officially left the building burger". It has peanut butter, fried bananas and bacon on it. It is a full pound burger, but i went with the half pound option. Burger was horrible. What was I thinking?

Peanut butter on a burger is actually quite tasty. I have had this quite a few times. (But I am Canadian.)

I imagine this is tasty but I'd have to share it. Seems much too big and rich too have too much of. I have no idea where this chain is though. Not in my part of the country.
