I can honestly say this flavour of chocolate bar surprised me. I really thought it wouldn't be a good combination. I am happy to say the flavours really work well together, the coconut gives a nice crunch to each bite and the mango gives it some chew. None of the flavours are over powering and the bar isn't overly sweet.
I need to say that I have tasted a great deal of chocolate during my life. However, this bar was like heaven. Absolutely amazing!
Firslty, the packaging is perfect. You cannot feel anything through the wrap. Everything is conserved and you get it all when the package finally gets open.
Secondly, the main note is mango. The aroma is distinct and bright. You recognize the base right away. However, with the first bite comes a crisp. It is not tough and reminds of rice crispies. The chocolate itself is dark and extremey good, not too sweet. As for the quality, it is classical Brookside which translates into 12 out of 10.
Great for a gift, sharing or secret snacking!
Loved the mango and shared with my mom!
This chocolate bar had the most flavor, by far. The mango coconut combination worked really well together. The mango was so intense, but in a 'leave your mouth feeling happy' kind of way. After the initial burst of mango, you could taste the coconut. Normally when there's coconut in something that's all you can taste, but not with this chocolate bar. Even the dark chocolate didn't stand up to the mango flavor.
The dark chocolate itself was so smooth and creamy, and not at all bitter. Normally I don't like dark chocolate because of the bitterness, but this was so good!
You could tell when you had a piece of the chocolate bar with mango in it, because the texture was a bit chewy, but not tough at all.
This mango coconut chocolate bar brings both the slight bitter flavor of the chocolate together with the sweetness of the mango and coconut to indulge your sweet and healthy tooth.
I'd definitely recommend this flavor, and brand!
I thought this was a bit of an odd combination but wow! The smell is wonderful and I love the taste. It has a perfect blend of flavours. I think I found my new favourite chocolate bar!
I received this free of charge in exchange for an honest review.
No one in our little sampling party (me, my husband, and my parents) was particularly impressed with this bar :(
The mango flavour tasted artificial, and was a little bit overpowering. We couldn't taste the coconut at all, which was disappointing!
As with all three bars, the quality of chocolate was pleasing - it was smoothest and softest in this bar, perhaps because of the oil of the coconut? The chocolate was not bitter at all, considering it's dark chocolate. And we all liked the crispies in it.
I wish that either the box or inner packaging was resealable, though, as the bars are too big and too rich to eat in one sitting (although I could do it if I was forced).
I would definitely splurge on this again for a treat or gift.

While the quality of these chocolate bars is amazing (real chunks of fruit yum!) the combination of the mango, coconut and dark chocolate just didn't taste as good as it sounds. I think maybe a different fruit with the coconut and crunchy pieces would have done the trick!
I really enjoyed the taste and texture of these bars. The mango and coconut blend together to provide a sweet finish and charming crunchy aftertaste. The orange foil and outer cardboard wrapper do make the bar seem premium. It does not taste waxy like other Hersey products do, but just like dark chocolate should.
It would make a really nice gift for someone, or even for yourself! :)
Received this to try and ewww. Definitely not a good flavour combination. The over powering mango taste was horrible. The flavour had an artificial taste and left an after taste. Definitely won't be buying this flavour
I was given the Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bar in Mango Coconut Crunch for free so I could taste it and write a review. All four members of my family tried this bar and it was the favourite for one of the four and the second favourite for the other three, out of the three bars we tried. The chocolate was nice and smoothe and the the mango and coconut both added a nice texture. The mango and coconut were both very subtle and I would have liked to have these flavours more pronounced. I found the chocolate too sweet for me and the taste of the dark chocolate was lost in the sweetness.
This was by far my favorite one, I do not like anything coconut flavored at all but this was perfect. The smell was delicious. It had the perfect amount of crunch and mango flavor. Such a unique pairing and taste for chocolate bars. Loved it!! It was the perfect designed bar with the different tabs, the quality was great and the crunch was perfect not to much not to little
