    This was my least favourite of the three fruit bar combinations. While it was tart, it was not nearly as much as anticipated. The see through packaging is nice as it allows you to see exactly what the product looks like and what it contains. Again, the nut combinations make up the majority of the bar by far. Out of all of them this one I felt had the least fruit. The fruit hardly stood out and was difficult to taste or pick out at times. The dark chocolate is a nice granola bar option compared to the majority of bars out there. These bars have better ingredients than some, is a good source of fibre and has some added vitamins (A, C, and E) which is a plus. They are also Non-GMO, Low Sodium and Gluten Free which is great. Again, there is way more sugar in these bars then one would expect which is very disappointing. A lower sugar content would be nice and give this bar a huge advantage over other. That being said it is still far better than any typical lunch box granola bar. You definitely pay for name and that extra bit of health. It's more like buying protein bars at this price mark. Overall they are a good occasional snack product, but I will most likely not be buying this product unless it is on sale.

    The blueberry flavour wasn't my favourite, but overall this was a very tasty fruit and nut bar! The dark chocolate added nice depth and sweetness, and there was a nice textural balance between the chew of the fruit and the crunch of the nuts. Yummy!

    Out of the three bars that I sampled as part of the review club, this was definitely my favourite! I have been eating their chocolate in this flavour for years so I was really excited to try a new product with the same amazing taste and I was not disappointed! Although I did not find the bar to be too sweet, I was surprised that it had so much sugar in it and would love to see that be lessened in the future! On the other hand, the ingredients are really great and they are a really good source of fibre, so its a little give and take! How wrong can you go with dark chocolate and real fruit?!?! I will definitely look out for these at the store and hope to see them on sale soon as the price point is a bit high!

    I really liked this bar. I love how nutty it is and the dark chocolate balances out the sweetness of the blueberry/acai. I'm so happy to be able to add this to my lunch!

    I absolutely love Brooksides Dark Chocolate so I was really excited when I got to try their Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut Bars. The Blueberry and Acai is my favourite flavour as similarly to the Bite sized Chocolate Covered Fruit Pieces, the fruit pairs extremely well with the dark chocolate.
    I also love that they are low sodium and Non-GMO and although I don't care too much about gluten, it is great for those who are intolerant or those trying to avoid it. They also contain Vitamins A, C and E and are a great source of fiber. I only wish that they contained a little less sugar as I find that they do contain quite a lot for such a small bar and I do find them a little sweet for a late morning snack.
    Overall I think I would purchase these again but only if they were on sale.

    not my favourite! i can't even pin point what it was exactly but this just wasn't agreeing with my palate. I also think there was nothing unique about this particular bar in terms of flavour.

    Expensive and contains more sugar then I hoped. The taste is ok. I love that it contains nuts (protein!) and that it is made with dark chocolate (I am not a fan of milk chocolate).

    I really enjoyed this delicious snack bar. I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club and was anxious to try. It is very flavourful and has quality ingredients such as pumpkin seeds and almonds and uses real fruit and natural flavours. As a plus, it's gluten free for those with dietary sensitivities. And who doesn't love the combination of dark chocolate and fruit? Yum! This bar has amazing blueberry flavour, combined with dark chocolate and quality ingredients, which makes it a top choice when choosing a snack bar.

    I ate this bar in place of a meal as I forgot to bring my work to lunch that day! Not only did it satisfy my hunger, it surprisingly tasted fresh, which is not something I expect from a "bar". I could taste the individual flavours - the blueberries, roasted almonds, and dark chocolate. 180 calories, gluten and cholesterol free plus, real fruit, whole roasted almonds, and dark chocolate! This "bar" is definitely a must-try!

    I love anything with blueberries, but I didn't find the taste strong enough. I'm not sure if this bar is supposed to be a healthier bar or not - nuts and fruit are on the healthier side, but then the layer of chocolate on the bottom doesn't make it a great snack choice. I really prefer the Brookside fruit and chocolate clusters a lot better.
