    This bar was my favorite among the three that I tried. I'm a huge cherry fan, and the cherry flavours stood out nicely. I loved the combination of the cherry and chocolate flavours. The texture of the bar overall was nice and not too chewy, not too crunchy. I would absolutely buy this one again.

    Like the other flavors of Brookside bar, this one is nice and crunchy and moreish with a good helping of nuts and fruit to keep you full. The price point is a little above other bars, but it's clear they use good quality ingredients in good amounts.

    The only downside is this might be too fruity or sweet for some as that flavor really packs a punch!

    I received this bar free from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club.
    This wasn't my favourite flavour, but not the worst one either. I wish the chocolate flavour was more prominent. The cherry and pomegranate flavours were nice though.

    This bar is a good snack. Tastes wonderful, is a good quantity, and ofcourse a perfect blend of fruits, chocolate and nuts. The combination works so well, usually I do not like the cherry flavour but the combination with pomegranate gives it a nice balance of flavour and not have cherry flavour overwhelm. I do not appreciate glycerine in the ingredients though, and I liked brookside products because they generally don't have it in other products. Thanks ChickAdvisor Product Review Club for letting me try it for free.

    I liked the idea of this one - cherry and pomegranate, two fruits that are definitely not on the cheap side to eat fresh, and definitely (with cherries at least) a seasonal fruit. I liked the combination, the tartness of the cherry with the subtler flavor of the pomegranate. The dark chocolate with it was that added burst of sophisticated sweet.
    I definitely enjoyed this one more and felt all fancy eating it - a grown up granola bar

    I want to thank ChickAdvisor for allowing me the opportunity to review this product.
    I absolutely love the flavour combinations - this one was my favourite. The rich flavour of the dark chocolate with the tartness of the fruit creates a symphony of taste. My entire family loves these - even my picky eater. I love that they are a healthy snack. The large chunks and texture is intense and very filling. We will definitely be recommending this item and will purchase in future.

    I received this product for free from a Chick Advisor review opportunity. I wasn't sure how I would feel about a 'high end' granola bar... but I am in love. My kids immediately tried to swipe these from me the moment I opened the box but 'no way' - these are mamas! My evening routine is a glass of red wine and a handful of Brookside chocolates... however some nights if dinner was early I need a heartier snack than just a handful of Brookside chocolates. The Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut bars are my answer! This cherry and pomegranate flavour was my favourite but the other tied in a close second. Thanks ChickAdvisor and Brookside for my new favourite snack :)

    I received this bar to try. I love the clear packaging.that shows off the product. The bar had great cherry flavour and just the right amount of sweetness. Brookside has pulled off making this bar feel like both a treat and a nutritious snack. It is filling enough to keep me satisfied for a few hours.

    I received the 3 flavours of Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut Bars as part of the Product Review Club (thank you!). The Cherry with Pomegranate was my 2nd favorite behind the blueberry. Although, they could have just called it Cherry in my opinion - I didn't get much pomegranate taste (which was a bit disappointing as I adore pomegranate seeds!) I really like the look of the bars - the clear packaging is a definite bonus, since the bars themselves are so visually appealing. The bar is definitely sweet, however, it doesn't have that over-powering grainy sugar taste that many granola bars have. The portion is big enough for sure (perhaps a bit too big, if using these as a 'snack'). Likely the other two, the nuts and sugar definitely overpowered the bar and gave the 'flavours' a second seat. Given this - I still enjoyed it with my morning coffee and it kept me full until lunch. That's a good thing - considering the nutritional content - too much sugar for my typical morning snacks - and 7 weight watcher smart points per bar. (which is a lot considering a typical daily consumption is 30 points). At an average price of 1.99 per bar, I find them overpriced as well. I decided to recommend it - based on the fact that it was delicious - however, I likely won't be purchasing them.
