I've tried the Brookside Dark Chocolate on fruit before, and it has the same amazing base flavour where it's not too sweet and not too bitter. What I love about this in comparison is that it melts in your mouth and is smooth. It's not overwhelming in taste which is the best part. Other chocolates usually leave a sticky tacky feeling in the back of my throat but this one surprisingly doesn't! There is rice crisps in there so it makes the chocolate more fun to eat. The cherry crisp overpowers the pomegranate flavour and being someone who isn't too fan of cherry, this mellow flavour is actually really great!

This one was my least favorite. I'm not a huge fan of tart or sour candies and altho it still had a decent flavour I don't see myself buying this one again in the future. I like a sweeter flavour when mixing it with the dark chocolate. The quality of the ingredients was really good so if you like a tart dessert this may be what you are looking for.

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 :)

It took about half of the tablet bar to taste the cherry flavour. It was not overpowering from the dark chocolate. I did not taste the pomegranate flavour at all. I would like a bit more flavour in the whole bar. Once again, love the design and crunchiness of the bar.

This was my favourite Brookside chocolate bar flavour! Loved the tart cherries and crisp combination with dark chocolate! This definitely satisfied my craving and I would buy this again and recommend it to my friends and family! The only improvement I would suggest is the packaging! Even though it's pretty and fun to open, once it's opened, it's not that easy to store for later. Also, I guess there's no uniform way of breaking the chocolate in pieces. But I still loved the taste and quality of it!

Loved the texture of this, with the rice krispie type bits and the chewy parts. Flavour was nicely balanced, and it was a satisfying treat even after a couple of squares.

I thought this chocolate was a very high quality chocolate starting with the wrapper
The outside wrapper was very appealing with a fuchsia foil strip that matched the inside wrapper which was a fancy foil fuchsia.The fuchsia being incorporated for the cherry pomegranate.
The chocolate itself was etched with trees and patterned blocks and the words Brookside. It was divided into different sectioned pieces so you could have a lot or a little.
The chocolate itself had a very nice crunch to it from the crispy rice and it had the perfect amount of chewy cherry bits. The cherry was sweet and paired nicely with the dark chocolate.
The chocolate also had nice fruity cherry scent to it. Overall it was a decadent chocolate and I enjoyed it very much.
I was a little confused with the pomegranate flavour because it is not detectable nor does it appear in the ingredients. All that appears are the words natural flavour so I assume that is where that is incorporated. Regardless this is one of the best chocolate bars I have tried.

This was super yummy. I'm usually not much for cherries but this tasted delicious. It had a nice crisp to it as well. I was really excited to try this because normally I would not pick a chocolate bar like this.

Of the 3, this one is tied with the Blueberry Almond one.

The combination of cherry and pomegranate and dark chocolate is just heavenly. The sweet and bitter played off each other to create a delicious fusion of flavour that danced on your tastebuds as they sang with joy.

Oh yes, I very much liked this one!

It satisfies a chocolate craving and a craving for something else that you didn't realize you wanted.

I was excited to try this variety of Brookside chocolate because I LOVE cherries! Thanks to ChickAdvisor, I was sent all three varieties to review. I may have liked this variety more if it had been milk chocolate instead of dark. That being said, the dark chocolate was smooth and rich. You could tell that you were eating a good quality chocolate. There are small pieces of sweetened dried cherries throughout the bar, but the chocolate seemed to overpower any cherry flavour trying to come through. I enjoyed the added layer of texture that came with the addition of crisp rice. I wasn't able to distinguish any pomegranate flavour in the bar. It is a great tasting, high quality chocolate bar, I just think they need to invest a little more time bringing the flavours of cherry and pomegranate out.
