The brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut Bars are the poerfect cross between a traditional granola bar, a trail mix bar and a chocolate bar! They are perfect to toss in my handbag for a quick on the go snack for myself or my kids but are decadent enough to fill a raging craving for sweets!. Cranberry with Blackberry might me the best combination ever!
I LOVE Brookside chocolate to begin with but this...chocolate married with a healthy, non-GMO granola bar is just a perfect match made in heaven! These bars are perfect for an afternoon snack right around 3pm when you get hit with a sweet tooth craving, but packs enough punch to keep you full on the good stuff until dinner! Packed with flavor, the right amount of crunch yet still soft and chewy...I have to say, I was QUITE surprised by how delicious these bars are and I love the flavor variety! Even my husband liked them (and he normally hates granola/snack bars!) and asked where I was hiding the others! I HIGHLY recommend the Brookside brand!
Edited to add: This was the bar my husband got, since I dislike both cranberries and blackberries and they happen to be his favorite! He loved this combination, he said it was the perfect amount of sweetness and crunch. He thought I t was surprisingly filling in between breakfast and lunch and he wanted to know why I didn't come home with a box from the store that day!
I think these bars are amazing, packed with nuts and flavor - the chocolate is not over powering at all, its just a light layer at the bottom, the bars are soft and chewy and are just the right amount of filling for that period between breakfast and lunch at work.
I was looking forward to reviewing Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Cranberry with Blackberry. As a mom I'm always looking at buying tasty nutritious snacks for my kids. My daughter tried this and she loved it!
I got to try these for free through Chickadvisor and oh my goodness, they were delicious!! A good snack to keep your energy up. The taste was pretty good.It tastes nice and its got a nice texture.The sweetness from the fruit combines perfectly with the dark chocolate.

This bar is nice, I wouldn't say its my favourite though. It seems to be healthier than candy bars and chocolate bars with the fruits, nuts and dark chocolate. It tastes nice and its got a nice texture. its crunchy yet not hard, kind of like rice crisps! I would recommend these to anyone thats on the go and just need a little pick me up throughout the day. not bad at all I do prefer the blueberry and acai though out of the 3 i received. This might be my second favourite.
I love the combination of blackberries and cranberries I love the different kinds of nuts and it has just the right amount of dark chocolate I would tell anyone that says they don't like dark chocolate to try the brookside brand
I am in love with this bar. The balance between fruit/nuts/chocolate is absolutely perfect and is a delight on my tastebuds. It is made with real fruit and the nuts maintain a crunch rather than getting soggy like in similar bars. The sweetness from the fruit combines perfectly with the dark chocolate so this bar is neither too sweet nor bitter. For 180 calories per bar I would gladly reach for this over a "chocolate" bar any day. The best part is my kids (age 15, 12) loved it too! If I haven't already made you want to run out and purchase this flavour of the Brookside Fruit & Nut Bar how about this - not only is it made with real fruit and other natural flavours but uses non-GMO ingredients, is a source of fibre (3g), and is gluten free. It really is that good and will be a regular staple in my snack cupboard in the future. I received this product free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club, opinions are my own.
I received this from Chick Advisor to try out. I enjoyed the slight tartness of the cranberries and nuts combined and the chocolate is always a good thing. It has a good amount of protein (4g) to keep your full while on the go. I do like the packaging that you can see what your getting and how delicious it looks! I would recommend this.
I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I love eating bars when I'm on the go and can't have a full meal. This bar was just enough to hold me over until I was able to eat a proper meal. I try not to consume a lot of sugar, but I treated myself with this bar! I love the idea that it has dark chocolate on it. I think it was a little too sweet for my palate but the flavour combos were divine! I wouldn't say it's a healthy bar but it has some pretty good ingredients. I like the nuts and dark chocolate! I would buy this as a treat to myself. This was my least favourite flavour of the 3 that I received, but it was still good! Just not exciting flavours.
