Love this line of granola bars! I can't stand rock-hard granola bars, and these are perfectly soft and chewy.
Good quality chocolate and pieces of fruit make these granola bars delicious, yet still quite healthy. I like that these are low sodium but high in fiber and vitamins A,C & E. Nice to see a bit of iron from the almonds as well.

This is my favourite of the 3 Brookside fruit and nut bar flavours. As far granola bars go, they would be my preferred brand. Great for a snack on the go to toss in your purse.

Not a fan of this fruit and nut bar. I would still recommend to people who like the cherry flavour but it is my least favourite out of the three flavours.

AWESOME!!! This was my families favorite of all the flavors. Perfect balance of sweet vs salty. Loved seeing all the nuts and cherries. One bite each wasn't enough, we all wanted more.

Not a fan of any of these bars. Too hard and taste bad. I do not like it all and it is really hard and stall. Also way too nutty and not enough other flavours and hard to bite.

I got this as a sample and really loved it. I texture was spot on - not too soft or too hard like a lot of other bars. Chocolate and cherry are also a great combo.

I love dark chocolate and cherry together and this bar did not leave me wanting. I would eat this bar as an afternoon snack or even a treat with wine. I had to hide my bars away so I could enjoy them all with out sharing too much with the rest of the house. You know for science! Mmmm don't touch my chocolate and cherry pomegranate bar!

I received 3 bars from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. The Cherry with Pomegranate was my favourite!! 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 amazing! 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 was more fruity than the others, and I loved the taste of the cherries. 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 very 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 definitely be purchasing this flavour regularly!

Loved the cherry pomegranate flavour. The dark chocolate fruit and nut bars taste great, they have a great crunchy texture. The dark chocolate is like the icing on the cake. Great snacks for on the go lots of nutrition and they are filling also. Overall I love them and will purchase them. Thank you chick advisor for the opportunity to try Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Cherry with Pomegranate for free.

I liked this bar and found that it wasn't too sweet or sickly. Dark chocolate with real fruit and nuts what could be better. It is the perfect snack on the go or mid afternoon pick me up. Its under 200 calories and has just 9 grams of fat. The perfect size to keep in your purse, car or gym bag.
