I did not enjoy the taste of pomegranate mixed with cherry as it tasted a little bitter. I would prefer that the granola bar tasted sweeter and more like chocolate.

the taste was so-so but they are really small and for the price its a pass for me they kinda fall apart in your hands and the dark chocolate is overwhelming i tasted verry little cherry

I received the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars from the Product Review Club.

These initial comments are relevant to all 3 flavours and flavour specific comments are below.
My first impression was that they looked amazing. I really liked the transparent packaging. The Visual appeal of the bars is strong with quality ingredients being prominently displayed.

The portion size is good although $2.00 a bar is a too high in my opinion.

They use lots of buzzwords like Gluten Free, High Fibre, Source of Antioxidant, All Natural Flavours etc. based on the marketing and packaging of the bars, I believed that I was getting a really healthy, wholesome bar that I could feel good about eating.

After tasting the bars and reading the ingredient list I'm not so sure that's true. Look closely at the ingredients and you will find that almost 50% of the bars main ingredients are or include high sugar components. (The ingredients are more or less the same for each of the 3 flavours)

(Ingredient #2) Dark Chocolate (sugar; Chocolate; Cocoa Butter; Milk Fat; Cocoa Processed With Alkali; Soy Lecithin; Milk; Salt; Vanilla)
Sweetened Blueberries (blueberries; Sugar)
High Maltose Corn Syrup
Sweetened Cranberries (CRANBERRIES; Sugar; Grape Juice Concentrate; Blueberry Juice Concentrate; Sunflower Oil)
Invert Sugar
Sugar

I think its important to be fully aware of the true nature of a product rather than the presented nature of a product. If you are buying this bar because you think its a super healthy alternative to some of the other popular snack options you may be mistaken.

The Cherry Pomegranate flavour was awful. I was really surprised to see all of the positive reviews for this flavour. There is nothing natural tasting about this bar. If I didn't know better I would have thought the fruit pieces were dark chocolate covered cherry nibs. This particular bar couldn't even be redeemed by the whole almonds and pumpkin seeds that I had loved previously. This was a huge disappointment.

I was lucky to be selected to be part of the Product Review Club for the Brookfield Bars. Unfortunately, I have to say the bars had an interesting taste to them and the "fruit" flavour of cherry with pomegranate
did not taste right. It was a manufactured flavour and left an odd taste in my mouth. For the 180 calories and little protein I would sooner buy a "real" chocolate bar.

I was disappointed in these bars. The taste wasn't up to par with their other products or even other granola or nut bars. I have to say I will not be purchasing these.
