    This product was a little sour for me. The mixture of fruit and nut was nice and balanced, but it could have used more chocolate to help with the sourness.
    I would recommend this product to anyone who likes dried fruit and chocolate.

    This was my least favourite flavour out of the three but it was still fairly good. I am not a huge fan of fruit in my bars and I felt like in this one the fruit taste was overpowering and you couldn't really taste the nuts. It wasn't awful though, I would eat another one if I had it but I don't know if I would buy it.

    A really unique combination - I love cherries and pomegranate so was excited to try this bar. The dark chocolate and cherry is a winning combination! Not too sweet or sour this tastes more like an indulgent treat than a healthy bar. While the bar has some sugar and corn syrup I love all the antioxidant properties that are in the chocolate, cherries and pomegranate. Average price for this type of bar makes this a great snack!

    Tasting this cherry pomegranate fruit and nut bar was a great experience. Cherries and pomegranates are my favorite fruits and having them together was definitely like an explosion of delicious flavors in my mouth. I love that it was chewy and the dark chocolate on the underside gave it that sweet and bitter kick that I loved! The only thing I would prefer to see changed is the price! Its a bit too expensive for me!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
