I found these bars to be so-so. They are packaged well, and very fresh. I do appreciate that they are gluten free and are a good source of fiber. I don't like that they have high maltose corn syrup and that there are 12 g of sugar. It's more of a treat, instead of getting yourself a chocolate bar, and the chocolate compliments the fruits and nuts without overpowering them providing a chewy and flavorful experience that is hearty enough that you don't feel too hungry afterwards.

I liked this flavour, the blueberry was not too strong and worked well with the nuts and dark chocolate. I am normally not a fan of dark chocolate but I actually really enjoyed it in this bar as the sweetness from the berries offset it.

nice tasting bar, although I found the blueberry to perfumes for my taste. Dark chocolate is a nice touch. This would be more of a very occasionally desert replacement for me as the amount of sugar is so high

Didn't enjoy the blueberries very much since I'm not the biggest fan of them. If you like blueberries, then you'll probably enjoy this bar. It was very crunchy so this is personal preference- I thought it was kinda too crunchy but didn't taste that bad.

I received 3 bars from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. The blueberry with acai was my least favourite. It was still good, but not one I'd purchase again. I like that I can read all the ingredients, nothing unknown in there. I like that the ingredients are all GMO free. I don't eat a gluten free diet, but I do try to avoid excess gluten when I can. Compared to "other" breakfast bars it in extremely nice to see a clean ingredient list. I am glad there are no artificial sweeteners in there either. Many bars have a chemical aftertaste because of the sweeteners they use.Nutritionally, the bar compares fairly equal to Quaker/Kellogs/Nature Valley as well as Larabar Uber. They all have similar calorie, fat, fibre, carb & sugars.
The taste of this flavour was average! I am not a fan of chocolate all by itself and this bar had just enough for a taste, without being overbearing. I really liked that I could taste individual ingredients! One bite was a taste of almond, then next bite was fruity. This one wasn't as fruity as the others, and I tasted more chocolate than I would like. Every other granola bar I've tried has the same flavour throughout the whole bar. Many bars just taste like sugar coated granola and this bar was completely different. Although a little sweet, the flavours of the individual ingredients were quite obvious.
The quality of the Brookside Chocolate did not disappoint! I enjoy quality chocolate and this is not found in most other bars. Others only have chocolate flavoured milk ingredients, sometimes not even cocoa in the ingredients!
I also like the see through packaging. You can see what is inside, and you can clearly see the large pieces of fruits and nuts.
Price - Well, if you compare it to Quaker type bars, then it's hugely overpriced. 10x the price actually... But it isn't a Quaker bar. The quality of ingredients, GMO free, the flavour, all put this bar in the premium category, and the price is the same as those bars. (KIND, Larabar). There are other organic bars (natures path) that offer boxes of 4-6 bars for about $4 so those are half the price of the Brookside bars also. However, I haven't seen any fruit/nut bars with this good quality chocolate.

Bottom line, I don't eat granola bars. I do like fruit bars, nut bars, and any mixture of the two. The Brookside Chocolate makes this fruit & nut bar a very nice treat! I will recommend, and I will purchase the other flavours occasionally, but not likely this one.

I am obsessed with the chocolate covered blueberries that brookside has so I was super excited about this granola bar.

Great taste! Reminds me a lot of the chocolate covered blueberries. I'd definitely pick up in the store and make it a regular brand.

Although the blueberry acai bar was my least favourite in this collection, I wouldn't hesitate to eat it again :p The bar is still very tasty and has good nutritional value compared to other fruit but bars, with only 12 g of sugar.

J'ai reçu ce produit gratuitement de chickadvisor pour le tester. Je trouve le produit bon mais trop sucré à mon goût à moi. Mon conjoint l'a bien aimé.

I don't like blueberry at all...so i tried a tiny bit, but it wasn't for me. Instead my husband ate it and thought it was pretty good. Not something he would really buy a lot of thouhg

This product was not one of my favorites among the three. I found the blueberry taste overwhelming. The texture however, was decent. The hint of chocolate was nice, but not enough to over power the blueberry.
