JJ's Red Hots is teaming up with King of Pops to create a new summer menu offering: JJ's Red Pop, a gourmet popsicle featuring chocolate, smoked candied bacon, cayenne and sea salt.
"This ain’t a frozen hot dog on a stick, because you know we Don't 'Dis The Dog," JJ's owner and founder Jonathan Luther said in a news release. "This is collaboration between two of Charlotte's (N.C.) most unique brands to create a popsi-fudgi-baconsicle that you'll never forget. It's sweet, smoky, salty and spicy – all at the same time. These guys at KOP are quite remarkable."
JJ's Red Pop will be sold at JJ's Red Hots Dilworth and Ballantyne locations in Charlotte, and at Charlotte King of Pops locations.
