    I really enjoyed this delicious snack bar; putting cherries and pomegranate flavours together was a great combination. 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 a source of fiber. And who doesn't love the combination of dark chocolate and fruit? Yum! This bar has amazing cherry flavour, combined with dark chocolate and quality ingredients, which makes it a top choice when choosing a snack bar.

    I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of fruit & nut bars, but the cherry with pomegranate fruit & nut bar tasted surprisingly good. It's a unique fruit combination that I haven't seen in other bars before, so I liked that. The calories are a bit high for a bar (180 cal), so I'm not sure I'd eat this on a regular basis unless I skipped a meal. Also, it seems inconvenient to buy these bars individually, although I suppose the price for a box of 6 would be over ten dollars!

    First and foremost, I enjoyed this fruit bar, it tasted great. I was however expecting to get a little more of a cherry taste, but I loved the balance between fruits/nuts/chocolate. I didn't find this was overly sweet (compared to other fruit bars), thanks to the dark chocolate.I would definitely recommend this to friends and family.

    This is a great "healthier" version of a chocolate bar, very high quality and filling! I love the mix of fruit, nuts dark chocolate, I wasn't sure about the combination but was pleasantly surprised! It's not too sweet and they're non-gmo! My only complaint is that there are milk ingredients in this bar - if those were replaced I'd give it a 5 star!

    I love Brookside products and this bar is a great size with a good calorie count. It has a lot of good ingredients but the pumpkin seeds still overpower it and it's too sweet overall.

    OMG this is the most delicious cherry flavour ever! I'm usually a raspberry girl when I have the choice, but this bar totally changed my opinion. I love the hint of sour pomegranate, and the sunflower seeds taste divine in the mix. Again, the best balance of chocolate and rich granola, which makes this the perfect chocolate bar substitute. It gives you the thrill of having those chocolate covered fruit snacks without having your teeth ache. I did find that it curbed my hunger and left me feeling good - no weird after-taste. Big win overall, this is my favourite flavour from the brand.

    If you love anything chocolate-cherry flavoured, you will love these bars! It will make you feel like you're eating dessert, (without all the calories and fat!). The pomegranate adds a nice tartness to the sweetness of the cherries and the chocolate. I love that this brand makes unique flavour combinations with healthy ingredients!

    I received this product for free from Chick Advisor so I could give my unbiased opinion. Personally, I do not like the taste of preserved cherry - it is too strong to be combined with pomegranate as it was overpowering. The chocolate, nuts and everything else was wonderful. I would not get this variant just because I personally do not like cherry preserves. I like them fresh, though.

    I love the clear packaging so you can immediately see what you are getting and what you are about to eat. It has the perfect amount of dark chocolate and was not too sweet or too much. The bar was full of with almonds, oats, dried cherries, crisp brown rice it was a good quality and quantity ratio. I was pretty happy to eat this sweet smelling bar. It was not to sweet and have enough crunch to it to even out the chewiness from the oats and dried fruits. I will buy these bars again as it exceeded my expectations and it was a great snack.

    So my 3 year old so was so excited to try these it was not even funny. As soon as they came in the mail, he begged me to try them right away we tried the Cherry with Pomegranate the first day and my husband and I had to fight him to get a peace of it... I wish I was kidding! He said it was his new favourite thing to eat! In all honesty, the whole family loved it. It was the perfect balance of sweetness, crunchiness and fruits. The tartness of the cherry and the sweetness of the pomegranate was a great combination too. If I had been able to eat the whole bar I'm sure it would have kept me full for quite some time. I liked that it had a fair amount of protein and its share of healthy ingredients, but that it still felt like a treat. We already loved their chocolate, now this is going to be another favourite in our family. A must try!
