I got this product to review, and before this I never knew about Brookside chocolates or bars. I got 3 different flavors to try and I was looking forward to doing so. Out of all three, this Cranberry and Blueberry was my second best.
To get into the product, my high points were the delicious Blueberry mixed with the slight tartness of the Cranberry, were perfectly balanced. The dark chocolate was not too bitter that you could not enjoy it, and also the nut and fiber in it was perfectly crunchy and chewy. 1 or 2 bars of this with either water or a healthy juice and you are full, so a pro point for this is that it is filling and good tasting.
The reason why I am not gushing forth with 5 stars is for me the plastic like taste of the dark chocolate layer. For me it tasted very rubbery and like plastic, not a very pleasant underlying taste for a healthy product.
All in all, this is a nice tasting snack bar and for the price worth it.
Classic taste! This bar is great for someone on the go, and serves as a step up from your everyday granola/power bar. I wasn't sure about the cranberry/blackberry pairing at first, but it was actually quite pleasing (smells good too). Recommended!
Definitely enjoyed the cranberry flavor. Thus gas no aftertaste. Would definitely purchase this bar again. The chocolate infused with the cranberries was a delight
The taste and the texture of this bar are exceptional. It felt like a treat when I ate it, it tasted better than a chocolate bar! The nuts and the fruits with the little touch of chocolate sent me to heaven :)
I'm not usually a big fan of cranberries but this bar wasn't too acid. Blackberry taste was hard to find.
This was a really great tasting bar with ingredients that are good for you. I love all the crunchy nuts and the not too sweet dark chocolate make for a really good treat!
You can most definitely taste the dark chocolate - it doesn't lose its flavor with the cranberry or blackberry. I liked that it didn't leave a chalky or bitter after taste as most dark chocolate can. This is probably one of the better ones that I have tried - mind you they were all good but this was in terms of preference. I most likely will be repurchasing as its convenient to store in my purse for early mornings when I don't have time to grab breakfast.
I received this bar for free as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club.
I actually really enjoyed this bar. The chocolate was nice but not over powering. The cranberry was flavourful but not tart. There was just a hint of blackberry I found. Seemed like lots of nuts and seeds which I enjoyed. This bar had 12 grams of sugar though which I'm not keen on. I'm guessingost of it was in the syrupy part which held everything together.
The bar was delicious. I love the combination of dried fruits with nuts and the chocolate! Perfect go to snack and perfect to ease that sweet tooth. I enjoyed the brookside bars and will definitely will be purchasing them again. They're perfect to snack on while you are out and about. It would be great if there was a protein bar that tasted as good.
When I tasted this fruit and nut bar I immediately loved the mixture of flavours! Although it was a bit on the sweet side for someone who is health conscious, I was glad they chose to include dark chocolate over milk chocolate for its health benefits. I enjoyed the chewiness of the bars, they weren't too sticky and definitely did not make a mess as other non-chewy bars and even some chewy bars make. They are very easy to eat on the go and give you a burst of energy when you're feeling low. Definitely good for energy!
Super yummy and healthier snack option. Sweet but not too sweet and with a little hint of salt. Love the healthier option to give to my daughter. Terrific for on the go.
