    I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this flavour of Brookside Chocolate Tablet, but I was pleasantly surprised. While the initial bite was kind of "hmm, I'm not sure about this" in my mouth, the aftertaste was really yummy and I found myself continually reaching for another piece until the entire bar was gone! I would recommend it.

    I dont mind the Blueberry Almond bar its a good combination I just wish there was more almond in it the pieces are so small, It would also be nice if there was crisp rice in it like the other two i received. good texture and left me satisfied with one small piece. This is a chocolate bar that I would not eat daily but just as a treat or when i have bad chocolate cravings. you do get a big bar for the price it is worth it for sure.

    This chocolate bar was such a delicious treat. I liked the combination of the rich dark chocolate with blueberries, acai and the crunchy factor. I definitely felt like it satisfied my chocolate craving and was still a better alternative than what else is out there. Loved it and will definitely recommend to my friends!

    Chick advisor product review club gave me this product free to try. This tasted identical to Brookside's dark chocolate blueberry with Acai bite size pieces. The bonus with this item is the almond. Almond adds a classic taste and texture. Out of the three flavours Chick advisor gave me to try, this one is my favourite.

    I received three flavours of Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bars as part of Chickadvisor's product review club. I loved the combination of the dark chocolate and blueberries, it complemented each other nicely. Also the almonds added some crunch which was really nice!

    Disclosure > Thanks to Brookside Chocolate Bars and ChickAdvisor for the opportunity to review Brookside's Blueberry Almond with Acai Dark Chocolate Bar #BrooksideChocolateBars /////

    MY REVIEW /////

    The packaging > I am very impressed with the high quality packaging of these chocolate bars. Each bar comes in a sturdy cardboard sleeve that helps protect the bar from damage. The packaging has an aesthetically pleasing design. The high quality images of the chocolate bar on the front cover of the packaging clearly show its ingredients. Within the cardboard sleeve, you will find the chocolate bar itself. The bar is wrapped in a blue plastic foil wrapper with a classy looking pattern to preserve the bar's freshness. The packaging is very informative. It lists the nutritional value of the bar and its ingredients. It even has allergy information. All in all, the packaging gives you the impression that this is a premium chocolate bar.

    The aroma >
    Upon opening the wrapper, you are greeted by a very pleasant, yet subtle sweet aroma. You can definitely smell a hint of the blueberries and acai berries that are within this bar.

    The appearance of the bar >
    The bar itself is beautifully designed. It is conveniently segmented into an interesting mosaic of rectangles and squares. It was very easy for me to split the bar evenly three ways due to the way the bar was segmented. Some of the rectangles and squares have images of the Brookside logo embossed on them, while others have a pattern matching that of the plastic foil wrapping...very attractive!

    The ingredients >
    I really like the fact that all of the chocolate bar's ingredients are evenly distributed and visible throughout the bar. You can clearly see the almonds and blueberries. The blueberries are particularly visible. Also, the ingredients appear to be all-natural, recognizable, and pronounceable.

    The texture >
    The texture of the chocolate bar is interesting. It is a balanced combination of crunchy, creamy, and chewy. The bar has just the right thickness, making it easy to bite into. You certainly won't lose a tooth eating this chocolate bar.

    The flavour >
    The chocolate bar has just the right amount of sweetness. I think the almond bits help to tone down the bar's sweetness. The bar's almond flavour isn't overwhelmed by the flavours of blueberries and acai berries.

    Value >
    At a MSRP of $3.69, I find this chocolate bar to be average to fairly good value given its quality and weight.

    Conclusion >
    I really enjoyed the appearance, taste, and texture of this chocolate bar. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys quality dark chocolate that's permeated with the flavours of blueberry and acai berry. The packaging is so attractive, that I would not be ashamed to give this chocolate bar as a gift to someone. I will probably purchase this chocolate bar in addition to the chocolate I already buy because of the uniqueness of its flavour and texture.

    I received my bars and could not wait to indulge, I am not a strong lover of dark chocolate it depends on what it is paired with .The Brookside Blueberry Almond i think is my favorite i loved the way the blueberries sweetened the bitterness of the dark chocolate which was not as bitter as i expected it to be .It was rich and creamy, The almonds which are one of my favorite nuts gave it the crunch. Over all i loved the different textures and flavor combo with each bite and i have to confess the bar did not last a day .

    I really enjoy this flavour of the Brookside chocolate bars because of the big peices of blueberries. This gives the smooth dark chocolate a chewy texture and the almonds add some crunch. I didn't get very much of the acai flavour but this bar is delicioua anyways! If only you could close up the chocolate to save for later so i'm not tempted to eat it all in one sitting.

    I received three flavours of the Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bars courtesy of Chickadvisor's product review club. I've had the chocolate covered blueberries from Brookside before and absolutely loved them. These tablet bars were just as good and the bluberry flavoured ones reminded me of them. There are tiny bits of candied blueberries inside along with chopped almonds. I like how these aren't as sweet and pairs nicely with the bitterness of the dark chocolate. Smooth and delicious!

    I absolutely loved the combination of the dark chocolate and the sweet dried blueberries. The acai flavour was also nice to balance the bitterness of the dark chocolate. It also has a nice crunch of the almond all throughout the entire bar from first to last bite!
