I received this bar to review through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I really liked this bar. It was fresh and moist, unlike other fruit and nut bars, which I have found to be dry and "cardboardy". There were bits of cranberry and blackberry along with almonds, pumpkin seeds, and a rich dark chocolate. I would definitely purchase these.
Brookside's fruit and nut bars are definitely a step above the typical fruit and nut bar.

Yet another delicious treat from Brookside!
I loved this bar. It was fresh and moist with large pieces of plump cherries. The dark chocolate is a little sweeter than a typical dark chocolate, making it kid-friendly and delicious. Of the three incredible flavours Brookside offers in this bar, this is the one my kids were fighting over.

I absolutely loved this bar. It had a strong blueberry flavour throughout, like a blueberry muffin. It had the sweet dark chocolate I've come to associate with Brookside, as well as whole almonds and pumpkin seeds.
I was most surprised at how moist and fresh it was, unlike most fruit and nut bars. Even my kids loved it.
I will definitely be buying these as soon as I find them in stores.
Delicious!

I received Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation through ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I don't change my makeup often because as someone who is very fair-skinned, it's difficult to find a good colour match. I usually end up with the dreaded line on the neck where my foundation meets my day-glow skin, or with skin so white I might as well have used baby powder.
When I first squirted some of the colour I was trying (Porcelain Ivory) onto my makeup sponge I thought it looked really dark for me. When I actually applied it; however, it went on smoothly and blended seamlessly into my skin. The coverage was great and long-lasting
I'll be buying this once this tube is finished.

Delicious! I love these little smiling potato faces.
I am way too old to admit I keep some in the freezer for a bad day. Something about those little smiles just cheers me up - and now I keep them in for when my kids need a lift as well.
I think they're delicious. Crispy on the outside but soft in the middle. Great price as well!

I received this bar for free through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I love both mango and coconut, so I was happy to give this bar a try. A heavy tropical scent filled the air as soon as I opened the packaging. The flavours were perfectly balanced with the rich dark chocolate.
I am a fan. My kids, with their less-adventurous palates, were not too keen on this one. Oh well, more for me!
I think if you are a fan of mango and coconut you will love this bar. It's like a little tropical moment in the middle of a dreary Canadian winter day.
I would be less inclined to purchase this bar for someone whose tastes I didn't know well or to put in gift baskets for single recipients, due to mango and coconut being a less popular flavour choice when compared to the other delicious bars Brookside offers.
However, as I said before, for the coconut and mango lovers out there, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more satisfying chocolate bar!

As a big blueberry fan, I was excited to give this bar a try. I was not disappointed. The bar had a great texture, with little bits of almond and berry throughout. I liked that they used small bits as opposed to putting in whole almonds or berries.
The dark chocolate was sweeter than most, perhaps from the addition of the blueberry, almond and acai. I really enjoyed it, and I liked that despite it being dark chocolate, it was still sweet enough to share a piece with my kids.
I think this is a great quality bar offered at a really great price. I could see buying these next year to put into Christmas baskets, etc. as they look and taste like a much more expensive bar.

I received this product for free through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I really liked this chocolate bar. To me, the dark chocolate was sweeter than I expected. My kids don't typically eat dark chocolate, but they enjoyed the piece I gave them immensely.
The flavour is superb. While Pomegranate wouldn't have been my first pick in a chocolate bar, I am glad I received this to try as it was my favourite of the flavours, and one I probably would have passed over in the store. Now, I'm trying to find a store near me that carries this particular bar!
There is a distinctive cherry flavour as well, and little crisps which serve to give the bar a pleasing texture. I think this a very high quality chocolate bar, and I'm surprised it doesn't cost more.

Chapman's Option Turtle Shell Lime Sorbet Bars
These are a delicious low-calorie snack. The flavour is delightful. I love the individual portion sizes, and they were a hit with my kids. My only complaint would be that the chocolate slides off too easily. It wouldn't stop me from buying them... +

My only complaint would be that the chocolate slides off too easily. It wouldn't stop me from buying them though!

This is my favourite ice cream, and I am always so excited to see it come back at Christmas!
It has a nice minty flavour and rich chocolate crackle pieces throughout. They are very generous with the chocolate pieces, so unlike with other ice creams, you won't find yourself digging through the container in search of a piece of chocolate.
This was a hit with everyone at my house, and I'm stocked up with several containers now that it's going off the shelves again.
