The taste and the texture of this bar are exceptional. It felt like a treat when I ate it, it tasted better than a chocolate bar! The nuts and the fruits with the little touch of chocolate sent me to heaven :)
I compared it to the kashi cherry and chocolate bar and this one tasted more like a dessert. A nice way to end a meal on the go!
I got this product to review, and before this I never knew about Brookside chocolates or bars. I got 3 different flavors to try and I was looking forward to doing so. Out of all three, this Cherry and Pomegranate was my least favorite. Now this is not to say that it was totally terrible, just that I am not a cherry flavor person, and if I were to go buy Brookside Fruit & Nut bar this will not be my choice of flavor.
To get into the product, my high points were the dark chocolate was not too bitter that you could not enjoy it, and also the nut and fiber in it was perfectly crunchy and chewy. 1 or 2 bars of this with either water or a healthy juice and you are full, so a pro point for this is that it is filling and good tasting.
The reason why I am not gushing forth with 5 stars is for me the plastic like taste of the dark chocolate layer. For me it tasted very rubbery and like plastic, not a very pleasant underlying taste for a healthy product.
All in all, this is a nice tasting snack bar and for the price worth it.
This bar was probably the least favorite out of the three I received. It tasted pretty good but not to my likely. It was a little sour. I would probably try the other flavors in the bar just because I like dried fruits and nuts and the chocolate is just the best mix with these!
I wasn't sure about the pomegranate,cherry and dark chocolate mix how the would taste all to together but I must say I really love the mixed of those three with the nuts
I received this product for free from ChickAdvisor (thank you so much!). I really loved the cherry flavour.
It was real tasty. A bit too sweet for me. I am not sure however if I would buy it. I didn't like that it has 10 g of fat, and 180 cal. I could justify that if there was more than 4 g of protein.
The dark chocolate on the bottom doesn't taste fake or waxy. Which is nice. I like the assortment of nuts in the bar.
Terrific taste, love the salty and sweet treat. Really love having a Non-GMO tasty option to give to my daughter. Perfect for on the go and lunches. Will buy again.
Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Cherry with Pomegranate tastes great! It's not too sweet so it makes the perfect snack to go along with a cup of coffee at the office. It's also great for the kids with a side of fresh fruit as well. I found the cherry and pomegranate flavour to be really enjoyable - especially with the layer of chocolate. Yum!
I typically only buy the hard granola bars with peanut butter. But after trying Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars, I would lean toward getting this brand in the future. The hard ones make a mess when you eat them with lots of crumbs. But this is easy to eat. I can just have it at my desk and it doesn't make a mess.
I would definitely recommend this to a friend. It's a great snack that's easy to eat at home or on the go.

This is my favorite of the Brookside fruit and nut bars. The first thing you taste is the cherry - but it is complimented by the dark chocolate. This is why I prefer it to the Cranberry/Blackberry - the chocolate stands out more - but is not overwhelming, so you still get to appreciate that it is a fruit and nut bar. It is the perfect combination but with all of the ingredients accentuating each other and none of them overpowering. Tastes fresh, I am finding that with all of these Brookside bars. Perfect size. I find it a great meal replacement. It's filling and when I am done I am not wishing it was bigger (which is surprising!). This one is bang on!
Not enough protein for me. Taste too much cherry not enough pomegranate. But still good. Not enough good nutrient. The dark chocolate is very good as always from Brookside. You can give a try if you like cherry.
Just tried Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut bars in the cherry pomegranate flavor. I was impressed with the fact that it was made with real fruit and nut. I was impressed that it was gluten free and non gmo. It was not as flavorful as brookside chocolate covered fruit. It also wasn't as sweet as I thought. On the other side the nutritional value is a bonus. It is a good bar to eat before working out or physical activity.
