I was a little skeptical about mango and chocolate and probably wouldn't have tried this if not for chickadvisor.
However, I was pleasantly surprised. What a delicious chocolate bar!
It packs a ton of flavour without being super sweet and the coconut totally compliments the mango.
So good.
The Mango Coconut flavour of Brookside Tablet Bar was the one I was most looking forward to trying, and it definitely did not disappoint. This one was by FAR our favourite of the three flavours we tried. It was crunchy and tangy and brought immediate thoughts of lying on a beach in a sunny tropical destination to mind. We both LOVED it and will for sure be buying it in the future. Highly recommended!
I love Coconut and i love mango so i thought this chocolate bar would be my favorite but it was not, It is alright but I find the mango overpowers everything else in it. I think if they put less mango in it then it would be my perfect chocolate bar. Again i like the crisp rice it gives it a nice texture, Good for a treat.
I received this through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club and absolutely loved it. Out of the three flavours that I received this one was my favorite. The flavors were so full and worked together so well. It love anything coconut and it worked so well with the mango. And the crunch was a great addition. This is so delicious and I will absolutely purchase this again and tell my friends. Thanks ChickAdvisor!
I received three tablet bars to try for free through the Chick Advisor club. I love dark chocolate and fruit combos. This one for me though was a miss and my least favourite out of the three. Firstly, the smell was very striong. The taste did not leave me wanting more. Instead I found it hard to finish just one piece. Aprart from that, the packaging is sturdy so the chocolate doesn't break and I think the coloured foil is cute, Don't think I will buy this flavour in the future.
I received three flavours of Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bars as part of Chickadvisor's product review club. The dark chocolate is made with high quality ingredients which is smooth and melted in my mouth. However I liked the other two bars more than this flavour.

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 gold 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 the dried sweetened mango and coconut that's 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 crisp rice and coconut in this chocolate bar, although the mango is difficult to spot. Also, the ingredients appear to be all-natural, recognizable, and pronounceable which is a big plus!
The texture >
The texture of the chocolate bar is interesting. It is a balanced combination of crispy, creamy, and chewy. I would say that Brookside's Mango Coconut Crisp is slightly creamier than its Blueberry Almond with Acai and Tart Cherry Crisp chocolate bars. The Mango Coconut Crisp 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 coconut helps to tone down the bar's sweetness. A pleasant surprise was the taste and texture of the dried sweetened mango in this chocolate bar. It was interestingly chewy and I could detect a hint of tartness even though the mango was said to be sweetened.
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 with the flavours of mango and coconut. The packaging is so attractive, that I would not be ashamed to give this chocolate bar as a gift to someone. I view Brookside's Mango Coconut Crunch Dark Chocolate Bar as a nice change of pace. Pleasant images of the Hawaiian Islands came to mind as I enjoyed this chocolate bar. As a result, I will probably purchase it in addition to the chocolate I already buy.

Eating this Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bar in Mango Coconut gives you a tropical taste, the richness of the dark chocolate the crunch of the toasted coconut and the sweet taste of mango ,it reminded me of the chocolate macaroons you can get with an island twist .I really enjoyed it,
This one was my favourite of them all. I absolutely loved the combination of the dark chocolate with the sweet dried mango and coconut. Adding the rice crisps in it for a nice crispy texture worked so well to balance out the bar.
I received three Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bars to sample for the Chickadvisor product review club and my favourite was this mango coconut crunch flavour. There are bits of mango in it along with a nice crispy rice. Love that slight fruity flavour along with the dark chocolate. A must for dark chocolate lovers.
