Loved this product! tastes great! Its an awesome alternative to granola bars or breakfast bars! deffinately reccommend. My 6 year old also loved it. I have not had a chance to purchase on my own yet, so i am unsure of the prices
I received 3 of the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars (different flavors) from Chick Advisor to review.
Cranberry with Blackberry Flavour:
Another not so good bar (see my other review for Cherry with Pomegranate).
For the life of me, I couldn't find even find the word blackberry listed in the ingredients. Anyone?
Just like the other 2 bars I reviewed, this one has a ton of sugar in it - a whopping 13g out of the 39g bar (33% sugar!!).
This bar also tasted like it was made yesterday, yet I wasn't born 24hrs ago. It's unfortunate that Brookside fails to provide a healthy bar (imo). Get rid of the concentrate fruit juices, the sweetened fruit, and the sweetened chocolate.
I'm trying to eat healthy and cut out refined sugars. Replace your sugar with honey, cut back your dark chocolate and give me unsweetened 70% cocoa dark chocolate. Sure it may not taste as fantastic, but after a few bars and a low sugar diet, the palate adapts and no longer requires something soooooo sweet.
These bars do taste good, but so does candy. We need to be more selective and educated when it comes to the foods we eat. Enough with buzzword labels. Give me quality ingredients without compromise.
Good tasting bar, but I can't recommend it.
I received this product with the chick advisor product review club. I personally didn't like the flavour of the fruits mixed in. I liked that it had a lot of healthy ingredients but the dried cranberries and blackberries weren't my favourite. I would recommend this product to others but I wouldn't buy it.
I received these 3 bars to test out and review. The only other time that I have tried Brookside was at Costco when they have those samples. I have never been disappointed. It is good quality dark chocolate with healthy fruit added. How could you go wrong? The price is a bit steep though. But aside from that, I'd definitely buy them occasionally.
I really enjoyed the different and distinctive flavours! I would typically just eat these for breakfast but I found myself wanting them for snacks as well!
Cranberry with blackberry Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nutt bars are a great snack as they are not only tasty without being too sweet but also filling and decently nutritional.
I was enjoyed trying Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut bar in Cranberry and Blackberry 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.
Out of all three flavours, this one was my least favourite. I really did enjoy the flavours but I found the other two to be much more of a tasty combination. As with the other two, I liked the light combo of fruit with chocolate, and really liked that this product was made with quality ingredients. It definitely makes a good treat!
Thanks for the opportunity, ChickAdvisor!
You can't go wrong with adding chocolate to a bar. I love Brookside chocolates, so of course I would love this brookside fruit and nut bar. Cranberry and blackberry go very well together coupled with dark chocolate very yummy! Like the other bars I found this one filling. My only complaint, I wish it was a larger bar or I had two of them
Cranberry and blackberry are both nutritional. I really like there is fruit and nuts together in the energy bar. It gives lots of energy and not too much calories.
Of the 3 bars I tried from Brookside and Chick Advisor, this was my least favourite. I still really enjoyed it but I guess I am not a big fan of cranberries. I didn't really taste much of the blackberry flavour and would've liked if it was more prominent.
