Baken’s breakout Real Bacon Crisps have gripped the foodie world, and in collaboration with Theo & Philo, they have a new treat sure to entice even the most well-travelled foodie
There’s plenty of reasons to love bacon. It’s crispy, juicy and savoury—with an enticing scent to boot. But Baken has uplifted this traditional breakfast food and transformed it into something that can be enjoyed anytime and anywhere. Made from 100 per cent genuine bacon, its Real Bacon Crisps can be eaten on its own, sprinkled onto homecooked meals and enjoyed in other imaginative ways. During the holiday season, this homegrown brand is giving their signature product a sweet and sinful twist.

To elevate its already impressive lineup and portfolio, Baken has partnered with Theo & Philo, a local artisanal chocolate brand, that sources its high-quality cacao beans from Davao and its world-class sugar from Bacolod to create something special for the holiday season. Together, they concocted the Bacon & Toffee Dark chocolate bar, merging their combined talents to create something that will tantalise the senses.
The holidays are upon us, and to many, this means cakes, steaks and celebrations. These brands are infusing the festive spirit in their latest concoction with three principal ingredients: Baken’s crispy and salty Real Bacon Crisps, Theo & Philo’s delicate and velvety single-origin dark chocolate, and the refreshing, buttery goodness of toffee.
The result is a bold and irresistible treat that encapsulates how Christmastime is always a chance to indulge, experiment and discover something new. The smooth bar is also cleverly inlaid with fine grooves, giving it the appearance of a strip of bacon. Its flavour packs a punch—the distinct, balanced saltiness of Baken’s crisps mesh excellently with Theo & Philo’s renowned deep and rich dark chocolate. This contrast highlights their individual profiles and elevates them to greater heights, in perfect harmony.
