    I was given the opportunity to test the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut Bar Cranberry with Blackberry. This would not be the first flavour combo I would reach for but the flavour is amazing and I am now converted. I enjoyed the chewy texture and it satisfied me for the late afternoon snack time

    I was given all three bars by Chick Advisor and I was delighted that they all tasted great! Out of the three flavours the cranberry with blackberry was the least flavourful for me. But it still had great flavour, it just wasn't as distinguished as the others. I love a chewy, semi crunchy snack, and this was perfect for my taste buds. I had a hard time savouring the flavour as they were all so yummy. Chocolate/nuts and fruit ... you can't go wrong! They are all a must try! Thanks Chick Advisor!

    These bars have a nice texture, with each element standing out nicely. They are chewy and crunchy without being too chewy. They are reasonably filling, and will satisfy a sweet tooth. That said I did find the flavour pretty one-dimensional: everything tastes like the same. But it's a nice flavour. I'd still consider these a treat rather than a regular snack.

    Great texture -- each ingredient is distinct and they have great chewiness and crunch. I found myself eating half at a time since they were pretty satisfying and gave me a little hit of sweetness. The flavour of the bars overall is somewhat one-dimensional, but I found the cranberry and blackberry the least sweet and the one I'd most likely buy again.

    As a member of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club I was offered a free Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bar-Cranberry with Blackberry to try and give my honest opinion. This is a very tasty treat that is good for you too.

    It is full of natural flavors. Real fruit and nuts and yummy dark chocolate. It is a generous size bar and is about 180 calories. A few more than other bars of the market but super tasty. These would be my new found favorite but they are a little too pricey.

    I usually buy Nature Valley Sweet and Salty almond bars which are $1.99 a box when on sale. The Brookside bars are higher in fat, sugar and calories which is not good but they are also higher in fiber and lower is sodium which is a good thing. Nature Valley has 0mg of Cholesterol and Brookside has 5ml. Iron is 4% in Nature Valley and 8% in Brookside. I guess it just depends what is important to you, which bar is more nutritionally sound. If you are looking for a great, tasty bar Brookside has it with these #BrooksideFruitNutBars, just be prepared to pay a little more for them.

    I have a hard time believing these are better for me, with the amount of sugar in them. I really liked the taste of this one though. The blackberry was evident and had a great taste combined with the cranberry, which gave it a little zing. I would definitely purchase this one.

    I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, so I was a bit hesitant to try out this flavour at first, as I was afraid that the cranberry would taste really sour, especially with the dark chocolate combination... I'm glad I gave it a try! everything complimented each other so well, you don't really notice the cranberry at all.

    A very tasty fruit and nut bar. The dark chocolate added nice depth and sweetness, and there was a good textural balance between the chew of the fruit and the crunch of the nuts. I only wish it were slightly lower in calories.

    Oh my. YUM! I loved this new combo of cranberries and blackberries. You'd think the cranberry taste would overpower the blackberry, but it didn't. I really enjoyed this bar. The price is a little expensive, but with Brookside you know that you're getting quality. I love that it is gluten-free, and non-GMO, so to me, it makes it worth paying a bit more. Honestly, I would have loved to have a bit more chocolate on the bar, but that is just my personal taste, as I love chocolate.

    This one was my second favourite! i love cranberries and you don't often see fruit bars with dried blackberries so it was a really unique flavour combination. again choclate was a little too much for me.... i think hey should make these bars without chocolate... they would be fantastic

    Enjoyed the taste of this Brookside fruit and nut bar - just the right combination of sweet cranberries and blackberries, nuts and chocolate! Great healthy snack to have on hand at work for a pick me up and much healthier than a traditional chocolate bar! Would recommend to others!
