ARBY’S BROWN SUGAR BACON

Today we are heading back to Arby’s to have a look at a product that was so popular, they have returned this year in three different varieties.

Arby’s is a fast food restaurant that is located across the United States of America and has more then 3,000 venues, it was founded in 1964 in Ohio and was so popular it just kept getting bigger.

In 2024, it was announced that Arby’s was bringing back Brown Sugar Bacon in three different varieties. Brown Sugar Bacon BLT has the speciality meat mixed with savory bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise in a King’s Hawaiian bun. The Roast Beef and Brown Sugar Bacon sandwich has melted Swiss Cheese and creamy Dijon mustard. The final version mixes Turkey with the brown sugar bacon with Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato and Dijon spread.

All three sandwiches are limited editions and can be purchased for around $6.49-$6.69 depending on what you are purchasing.

There are mixed reviews on the sandwiches as the sugar bacon is a unique taste – apparently it creates a new layer of crunch but it is also incredibly sweet.
