Sonic has created some limited-time-only items featuring peanut butter, but they're mixing it up with bacon, too. The Peanut Butter Bacon SuperSONIC Double Cheeseburger and the Peanut Butter Bacon Shake are available beginning January 8, according to a press release.

The Peanut Butter Bacon SuperSONIC Double Cheeseburger has two beef patties layered with peanut butter, bacon, grilled onions and cheese on a toasted bakery bun.

The Peanut Butter Bacon Shake mixes peanut butter and crispy bacon with vanilla soft serve and is topped with whipped topping and a cherry.

"Peanut butter and bacon is not a combination you'd expect on a cheeseburger and you definitely wouldn't think to combine these flavors into a shake, but at Sonic, we ignore what everyone else considers normal to deliver innovation that'll make guests shout, 'Hell yeah, Sonic!'," Mackenzie Gibson, vice president of culinary and menu Innovation at Sonic, said in the release. "We did it once with the Pickle Juice Slush, and we're doing it again with this latest 'this-seems-weird-but-I-have-to-try-it' combination that you can experience either on a cheeseburger or in a shake."

The menu items are available through Feb. 4.

Sonic operates more than 3,500 restaurants in 48 states.
