I received this chocolate bar for free from Chickadvisor to test and review. I want a huge fan of this flavour combo. I found the mango flavour highly scented which made it taste like an air freshener. I also thought that it overwhelmed the flavour of the coconut as well as the chocolate. The chocolate however was very good quality. It was creamy, rich and just a hint of bitterness which is expected in a dark chocolate. The packaging was absolutely beautiful though.
Brooksides products are of the hight quality.......But with this one I not not a big fan of the taste
But the Blueberry Almond with Acai is amazing
This one was the one I was most interested in trying and the only one that I ended up disliking. The mango was overpowering to the point that I couldn't taste the coconut in it. It left a weird after taste in my mouth that reminded me of the beach and sunscreen. The only part I liked was the dark chocolate!

I received this chocolate bar free for review from ChickAdvisor. While I am a major chocaholic, I am sad to say that I really disliked this bar. The mango flavour tasted very artificial and strong. The quality of the chocolate is good but I would not purchase this.
I received this product from ChickAdvisor to review and at first I really liked the flavour, until I tried the other two samples which I preferred much better. I couldn't really taste the coconut and the mango was such a mild flavour that it just didn't "pop". However, the bar itself wasn't overly sweet and did satisfy my chocolate craving.
I wasn't a fan of this one. The unnatural sweetness of it left a bad aftertaste, and the coconut didn't come through as much as I'd have liked. The unusual mingling of flavors and the pleasant crunchiness of it saved the experience, but I'm not convinced I'd try this bar again.

I was sent a three pack of Brookside's Bars to review. Out of the sent, I'd say this was my least favourite. The mango flavour is quite overpowering, you can barely taste and coconut. I adore mangos, but this just didn't hit the mark for me. I think if the taste was more subtle on the mango side, and a tad stronger on the coconut side, then this bar would have potential. Unfortunately, I would not go out and buy this product at this time.
i got this to review and can honestly say i was surprised by the hit of mango flavor- it tasted so strongly it was almost too sweet. the coconut aftertaste was nice, but i found the mango way overpowering, and didn't really work well with the chocolate. i would not be buying this.
I received the Brookside Dark Chocolate tablet in the mail to review and the first thing that I saw was that the packaging is overkill. Plastic colourful wrapper inside a thin card stock sort of envelope . Nice picture with fancy metallic section with the flavour name and ingredients . So now to the actual flavor I found there is a really strong perfume taste of Mango long after the piece of the bar is finished, I shared some with a friend who said they Didn't like it either and like me didn't think they would buy this flavour. I really didn't even notice any coconut as the mango flavor was overpowering. If the price is $3.69 I find that to be about average for Tablets of this size.
Out of the three Brookside Chocolate bars we got to try this was the one I really didn't care for at all. I have to admit that I don't really care for coconut in the first place, but I was hoping the mango would be enough that I could look past that. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. I wish all of the bars we got to try had more fruit in them, but this one really needed more for me to get past the coconut and the bitterness of the dark chocolate. On the other hand my husband really enjoyed it. So to me it just comes down to a matter of taste. The quality and price was what I'd expect, it just didn't have the flavour I was looking for. If you enjoy coconut, than I believe you would also enjoy this Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bar in Mango Coconut Crunch.
Thanks ChickAdvisor and Brookside for giving me the opportunity to try all three bars.
