This is the 3rd flavour that I tried, now keep in mind that I do not care for cranberries or blackberries. I actually found these fruits tasted really good in these bars! the mix of other ingredients complimented the flavours and made this enjoyable for me.
Sooo good! Can't go wrong with Brookside! Chocolate...fruit...seeds...soo yum! Great snack on the go or at work. Satisfies hunger craving and has chocolate...doesnt get better than that! Thank you Brookside!
I received this chocolate bar along with two other flavors from Chick Advisor. I have to say this is my favorite. The fruits combination is perfect, and you get a good balance of flavor between the chocolate, nuts, and fruits. But I'm not sure if this is something healthy enough that it's ok to eat daily, but for occasional snacks, why not? :)
I really love this new snack bar. I love its texture and flavours. This will be my new favorote snack from now on. And I know you will love this too!
i tried the Brookeside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars Cranberry with blackberry for free thanks to ChickAdvisor and the product review club. I found the berries to be sweet and good (and I'm not usually a fan of cranberries), but the chocolate was kind of bland. I think it would be really good minus the chocolate. The chocolate tastes kind of waxy, and not much flavour to it. Not sure if I'll buy this one.
I received the 3 flavours of Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut Bars as part of the Product Review Club (thank you!). This flavour was my least favorite - however, they were all really close and I still really did enjoy them all - I just found this one to be the sweetest and least 'unique' of the tastes. I really like the look of the bars - the clear packaging is a definite bonus, since the bars themselves are so visually appealing. The bar is definitely sweet, however, it doesn't have that over-powering grainy sugar taste that many granola bars have. The portion is big enough for sure (perhaps a bit too big, if using these as a 'snack'). Likely the other two, the nuts and sugar definitely overpowered the bar and gave the 'flavours' a second seat. Given this - I still enjoyed it with my morning coffee and it kept me full until lunch. That's a good thing - considering the nutritional content - too much sugar for my typical morning snacks - and 7 weight watcher smart points per bar. (which is a lot considering a typical daily consumption is 30 points). At an average price of 1.99 per bar, I find them overpriced as well. I decided to recommend it - based on the fact that it was delicious - however, I likely won't be purchasing them.
I was lucky to be a free tester from Chick Advisor! The wrapping of the bars is very appealing, and the wording makes it sound very healthy. But once you start looking at the calories and fat content you realize this is very misleading! The fat content on this tiny bar is extremely high! So are the calories! For the not so great taste I would not waste the calories or fat intake on a bar like this!!! Not to mention the flavour is not very good, and the texture is very gummy and the nuts are so hard I thought I was going to crack a tooth! There are plenty different bars on the market that are healthier and taste better in this price range, so I will not be purchasing this product and I will not be recommending it!
My favourite of the three Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars. I loved the cranberry and blackberry combo. The cranberry is a little overpowering in the bar, but that's cranberries for you (and I'm a fan!) Delicious, nutritious and guilt free. I've stocked up on all of the bars, but had a few more of these in my cart than the others :)
One of the tastiest bars I have ever had. I had one about 45 mins before my workout and felt great with no shakes or feeling too full. I would try again.
Delicious bar chock full of whole nuts and dried fruit. The cranberry flavour was dominant over the blackberry. The chocolate dip was just the right touch of sweetness without making it too rich. I love that you can see the whole almonds and fruit. Delicious. My only complaint is that the packaging doesn't match the quality of the product.
