Walkers Baked Ready Salted

First sold in September 2006, WALKERS BAKED is a relatively new addition to the Walkers Crisps range and is a product which they are using to try to attract customers who are interested in a more healthy style of eating. Now I don't think that crisps are ever going to be considered 'healthy' but these crisps contain 70% less fat than regular crisps, 98 calories per bag, and the pack sizes are only 25 grams. This is quite a small amount to have in a packet these days, although it does mean that you don't eat too many. The only problem I have is that I often buy 2 bags and eat them one after another! How do they taste? Well to be honest I mainly buy these for ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a big crisp person - I have far too much of a sweet tooth! - but I do like the odd packet now and then. I've always been put off by the fat content though - a 35g bag of standard Walkers crisps contains 11.4g of fat - more than a Crunchie! Walkers Baked, however, are really good for the waistline - they slash that figure by 70%, to 2 grams! Plus, there are only 98 calories per packet. OK, so they're still not as good for you as fruit, but at least you can feel slightly less guilty about your craving for salty snacks! These low figures are because they're baked rather than fried, which actually makes them taste more like potatoes than 'normal' ...  Read the complete review

These were a real revelation to me - I'm a big fan of crisps but it's easy to see the effects of eating them or abstaining for a few days in terms of their effect on your weight. I've never like most of the 'diet' crisps I've seen in the past because they were either too puffed up and full of air or too much like easting compressed cardboard. So I tried some of these when offered by a friend and was impressed. Firstly they do actually taste of potato, which is nice, and have a solid texture not too dissimilar from a normal thick crisp in terms of density. They have thin ridges, which I'm ambivalent about but I know some people who love or hate ridges on their ...  Read the complete review

Walkers Baked crisps are a fairly new style of crisp that is crinkled and baked instead of being fried and this makes them a fair bit lower in fat than the normal varieties available and the texture is different as well as the taste. The crisps are a fairly average crisp size and cut from good quality potatoes, it is very rare to find a bad crisp in your bag and this is great as I don't have to particularly worry about paying much attention when delving in to the bag and wolfing down a whole packet in 2 minutes flat! I lovely the crinkle design of these crisps and there never seems to be a full packet but then they are healthier so what am I really ...  Read the complete review
