I was thrilled to try Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut bar in Cherry With Pomegranate flavour as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I'm a big fan of granola bars, both for myself and my kids, so I'm always looking for new products to try.
I found this particular bar quite enjoyable. I liked that it was sweet enough, and the little bit of chocolate made it feel decadent without adding too much in the way of calories. I generally look for a bar with a bit of a lower calorie count to higher protein grams, so it would definitely be a treat for me, but would not hesitate to have them as a treat for my kids, especially if I found them on sale.
Thanks, ChickAdvisor!
I received this bar from Chick Advisor.
I am not a huge fan of cherry but the dark chocolate in this bar paired really nicely with the tart cherry and pomegranate flavours. The bar was full of crunch and flavour! The balance of fruit, nut and chocolate was perfect!!
Yum! This is my favourite flavour of the Brookside Fruit & Nut bars; sweet and tart make for a delicious combination. Perfect size for a satisfying snack.
I received three of the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars of different flavors from Chick Advisor to review.
In the past I have tried the Brookside chocolate covered fruit and was impressed by the variety and flavor. They have a much larger assortment of chocolate covered foods available than the normal raisins and peanuts.
This is a review of the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Cherry with Pomegranate. This was my absolute favorite of the three. I really liked that all the bars had a light coating of chocolate on the bottom so the flavor of the chocolate wasn't overpowering and it wasn't like a chocolate bar but closer to a granola bar. I'm sure this helps to make it healthier and also keeps the richness down as the flavor of the fruit is quite strong, in a good way. I found the Cherry with Pomegranate to be the most decadent of the three and it seemed like quite a treat to have (with hidden healthyness!) The bars came in quite handy for days when we have multiple activities and I needed a quick snack to keep my energy up.
While I wouldn't necessarily purchase these for my children, as they don't appreciate more complicated flavors and are fine with the grocery store variety of granola bar, I would buy these as a treat or to put in a gift basket for a friend.
It is not at all the bars fault that I didn't love it, I don't like Cherries!!!! I shared it with a friend and they loved the real dried cherry taste. I had the sme complaint that I have with the other bars and that is the added sugar, making these quite high in sugar (13g). I was convinced that it was delicious by the cherry lover and that they for sure would be going out to buy them again. It got rave reviews!
Delicious! I've been studying a lot lately for an exam and this bar came to the rescue when I was hungry and needed a a treat. It gave me a boost of energy and was very satisfying - and was absolutely delicious! The chocolate, fruit, and nuts came together perfectly, but was much healthier than a typical chocolate bar. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family!
I really enjoyed the way the flavours of the cherry and pomegranate complimented the richness of the dark chocolate and nuts in this bar. At the same time, I love that it's much healthier than a typical chocolate bar. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family!
What a unique blend of flavours - not only tasty but filling too! This is a product I will want to purchase in the future, and I will be looking for it on my next grocery visit.
I loved the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bar in Cherry with Pomegranate. It was quite tasty. I really enjoyed the combination of textures - the crisp of the almonds, the chewy berries and granola.
This flavor is my least favorite. Still quite surprised about how good these things are. Looking at them you wouldn't think that they are as good as they are, especially that the flavors seemed a little weird to me.
I received this bar to review from check advisor and this bar is good if you really like cherries. The cherry flavour is really trying within the bar. The dark chocolate does cut through some of the sweetness. Also you can taste all the different nuts in the bar.
