Advantages: Ideal for Ready Salted Lovers

Disadvantages: Flavour isn't as potent as other varieties

Walkers "Baked" is something a little different for those tired of the regular potato chip style crisps. The noticeable difference is in their shape - slightly thicker and more solid, but also containing small ridges. Essentially, they are in the old style of McCoys "ridge cut chips", but with the folds cut down, so that they are almost flat, but still somewhat noticeable.

The Ready Salted version of the Walkers Baked can be bought in variety packs of 6 (with Cheese and Onion, and Salt and Vinegar), or purchased separately, in any decent newsagents or snack shop.

As for the taste, it isn't vastly different to normal Ready Salted crisps made by Walkers. What makes it a bit different is the advertisement of "70% less fat", as well as the form that the flavour takes on this slightly different shape of crisps. Despite the salt, to me it appears a bit drier and more bland. Again, just a personal opinion, but perhaps it's because these crisps are thicker, and so they are not as light or flighty as the regular Walkers crisps of the same flavour.

But if you like Ready Salted and wish to try something slightly different, these are about as good as any. I don't personally like them too much, but maybe that's because I prefer either regular crisps, or ridged ones like McCoy's, and the hybrid in the middle makes me a little unsure that i'm capturing all the taste.

Summary: I don't personally like them too much
