    I received 3 different flavors of Brookside dark Chocolate bars through the chickadvisor product review club. I was really excited to try these bars because I love the Brookside dark chocolate Açai & Blueberry little dark chocolate balls and the dark chocolate Mango and Mangosteen. The Blueberry almond with Acai flavor tablet bar was a close second favorite for me. I loved the high quality dark chocolate and natural tasting blueberry flavor. I can definitely see myself purchasing this bar.

    Product Review Club!!

    I had the opportunity to taste 3 different flavours of Brookside DARK Chocolate bars through the product review club. I have had Brookside Chocolate before through a few of their different chocolate covered fruit items (chocolate covered blueberries and acai berries have always been my favourite) so I was really looking forward to trying in the chocolate bar form and I wasn't disappointed!

    The 3 flavours I tried were; Blueberry Almond with Acai Flavour, Tart Cherry Crisp with Pomegranate Flavour and Mango Coconut Crisp.

    Blueberry Almond with Acai Flavour: Definitely my favourite, it tasted just like the chocolate covered berries that I love so much. It is a rich flavour but not too sweet and also does a really good job at mixing the flavours of blueberry, acai and almond, with real pieces of blueberry and almond. The combination of all the flavours flow really well together and taste amazing. I also found it great as I'm starting a new meal plan that doesn't include much sweets, so the chocolate bars are great because you can break a square off or even break a square off and break it in half for a smaller piece and I found that to be satisfying enough for dessert after dinner AND it's great for sharing.

    Tart Cherry Crisp with Pomegranate Flavour: This one was a very close first! It tasted a bit similar to the blueberry almond. I found with this one that you can really taste the tart cherry at first but then it is quickly diluted with the bitter sweetness of dark chocolate. The flavour really reminded me of cherry chocolates (the ones you buy around christmas) which I LOVE to eat around christmas time but wouldn't want to eat them all year round. This one was also my boyfriends favourite, I think because of the tartness and he really likes sour/tart flavours. The one thing I really enjoyed about this one is the crispiness which they created with something similar to a rice krispy cereal piece but it adds a nice crunch when you're indulging.

    Mango Coconut Crisp: This one was definitely my least favourite out of the three. It was the one I ate the least of which is kind of crummy because I was really looking forward to trying this one. I feel like this one probably would have been better without the mango, I love coconut flavoured anything and I get what they were going for, but I feel like this might be a new flavour that they were experimenting with and failed a bit. There are real pieces of mango in the bar which I feel are just too overpowering and it doesn't really taste like mango as it does orange. You can barely taste the coconut but sometimes you get a random bite where you CAN taste it but then it just ends up tasting like chocolate sunscreen and a bit like Mango Malibu Rum. One thing I did like (as I mentioned in the above review) was the crispiness. Very satisfying when you chew!

    Overall Brookside Chocolate can do no wrong. They make really good quality products that are super tasty, alot of natural ingredients and aren't as bad for you as some of the commercial chocolate bars you see at your grocery store checkout line.

    If you want to try it out, start with their chocolate covered fruit items, you can buy them in large bags AND snack size bags usually found in the chocolate and candy isle at the grocery store.

    Enjoy :)

    If you like dark chocolate and unique flavours you will love this bar! Each of the ingredients is very noticeable but they also blend together very well. Everything about these bars are high quality. Great flavour, wonderful packaging and attractive product.

    The dark, rich chocolate is amazing. I love the crunchiness that goes with it. I hardly tasted the blueberry or Acai but the almond was delicious. I love the design of the chocolate and the size of each square is perfect for a serving. I would probably buy this one on sale. Thanks Chickadvisor for allowing me to try this chocolate tablet bar for free.

    I really enjoyed this bar of chocolate as I've been a fan of Brookside clusters. Love the combination of blueberry almond and acai together. Love that it's always dark chocolate, great quality and taste! It definitely satisfies my cravings and I would definitely buy it for myself and others!

    Let me start by saying that I really enjoyed this, but I still prefer the original Brookside chocolates.
    I really like how smooth Brookside chocolate is. It has the depth of flavor of good quality dark chocolate, but is still exceptionally smooth. This is probably my favorite thing about this chocolate bar.

    However, this bar could use more blueberry 'pieces', or blueberry flavored pieces. That is what Brookside is known for- the fruit-flavored gummies! Instead, this chocolate bar has blueberry-flavored CHOCOLATE, with a limited amount of blueberry pieces and a fair amount of almond.

    I constantly find myself munching on this. It totally satisfies my chocolate cravings, which are much too frequent. It's especially satisfying because it tastes so different from the chocolate bars I'm used to! I really enjoy the blueberry-almond combination, and I am glad that there isn't any rice crisp inside of this one, like there is in the others. Plus, I love sharing these chocolates with my friends, and they love receiving! It's divided into big pieces, and small pieces, so you can share without sharing too much, haha. I feel like these Brookside chocolate bars are PERFECT gifts if you want to really please someone without spending heaps of money.

    All in all, I would definitely buy this again, but don't buy this simply because you like brookside! Buy this because it is a good quality chocolate bar and it is smooth, melts in your mouth, and has a delicious blueberry-almond flavor!

    *I got this for free as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club, but my review is not affected by that.*

    For those who enjoy a bit of sweetness with their chocolate, this combination is sure to be a delight. The quality of the chocolate is wonderful, creamy and rich with no bitter after taste. The amount of fruit with the bar was just enough, the chocolate does not get lost among the fruit.

    The quality of the dark chocolate is good and the taste of this is delicious. I was actually thinking that I would like this one the least, but it was actually my favorite. The almond bits add a lovely texture to the chocolate and break down the sweetness level. LOVE! I will repurchase this!

    I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. This bar was great in that it wasn't overly sweet like milk chocolate but wasn't as dry as some dark chocolate can be. It had a nice light fruity flavour but also had some crunch from the almonds. All of these factors came together in a delightfully unique chocolate bar like I've never had before and will definitely be repurchasing. It's more satisfying than the regular chocolate bars out there - in both flavour and texture. Overall a great treat!
