I recieved this bar to review for Cick Advosor.
To me, this bar tasted like peaches, which to be honest I really didn't mind because I am allergic to peaches so I can't eat them, so that it itself was a nice surprise. That being said you CAN tell the mango and coconut flavours apart, although I wish there was more coconut. It seems like Brookside is all about the perfect blending of flavours.. The rice crisps added a great contrast.
What a great combination of flavours, my husband (who hates dark chocolate) devoured this bar after I tried it, the only downside was how it doesn't break nicely but the pattern on the chocolate is really neat, very visually appealing. The price is a little high if you are comparing it to 'normal' chocolate bars, but this is much higher quality and worth it. The mango and coconut are a very nice blend, makes for tasty tropical chocolate.
I also recieved this tablet bar in mango coconut crunch from Chick Advisor to test out and review and this one wasnt my favourite for some reason. the mango and coconut was a little different for me. I liked the coconut but i think it should have been paired with a different fruit but thats just my opinion. It was still pretty tasty though for being dark chocolate
The Brookside chocolate never disappoints on quality. Rich and creamy, this was exactly what I expected. However, I didn't love the combination of the Mango & Coconut. I couldn't quite put my finger on it but it was a taste I didn't completely enjoy
I tried this bar, I did not like the taste .. I like that it was dark chocolate. The mango and coconut was a good combination.. Very tropical it's just that I don't like coconut. Still a great product with exceptional quality. My husband loved it. He liked that the flavours were pronounced
This is another Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bar that I received free through the product review club. The label says there is coconut in this product but I certainly couldn't taste any or the mango for that matter. Upon opening, it smelled a bit like coconut scented sunscreen but I couldn't detect any bits. It is very sweet and just leaves an overall unpleasant taste in my mouth. Again it says it is a Dark Chocolate but if you are looking for the 'real stuff' look elsewhere! Will pass it along to friends to give it a try! Would definitely pass this one by if I saw it in stores! I now need to brush or eat something else that will kill the taste left in my mouth!
This is disappointing as I do enjoy other Brookside products!
Ingredients: dark chocolate (sugar, unsweetened chocolate, cocoa butter, milk ingredients, cocoa powder, lecithin (soy), salt, natural flavour), dried sweetened mango (mango sugar), crisp rice (rice flour, sugar, malt extract (wheat), salt, monoglycerides, tocopherols), coconut, sodium metabisulfite (sulphites), natural flavour. *may contain peanuts, almonds*
I received this free to try from the ChickAdvisor Review Club (Thanks again!), and I really enjoyed it. I loved the crunchiness of the texture, and the flavour combos were just right. Very unique and worth and the extra cost for the quality and richness of flavour.
I wasn't a fan of the mango taste. I found it too sweet and to have a weird flavour. I love trying new flavour combinations of chocolate, but this wasn't my favourite. I like the crisps part of it and the fact that it was dark chocolate, but that was about it.
This bar was my least favorite out of the 3 but still delicious. I am not a huge fan of coconut in my chocolate but I found that the mango coconut blend went well together and I didn't find an overpowering taste of the coconut. Not sure if I would buy this bar again for myself but I would buy it for someone else.
OK, I actually thought this would be my favorite but something with the mango was so so with me. I like the crunch of the coconut and the chocolate was great but the blend was iffy to me.. I will try it again.. I give everything a second chance
