    I was lucky enough to be chosen to try 3 differently flavoured bars but this was my least favourite
    It smelled really good when I first opened it but was very disappointed with the taste
    I usually love mango but maybe it was the mixture of mango and coconut but whatever it was it didn't work for me

    I personally don't love mango or coconut, but was happy to try this as part of the Product Review for Brookside Chocolate bars! To be fair, I love their products, so it was just this one I wasn't too fond of. I would say you need to be a fan of these flavours to buy at the price point.

    Thank you so much to Chick Advisor for the opportunity to try these out.
    My least favorite of the three bars. However, for mango lovers, they will like the taste. I don't think I will purchase this again as I didn't like it as much.

    I received 3 different flavors of Brookside dark Chocolate bars through the chickadvisor product review club. I was really excited to try these bars because I love the Brookside dark chocolate Açai & Blueberry little dark chocolate balls and the dark chocolate Mango and Mangosteen. The mango coconut crunch tablet bar was the one I was most excited about and most disappointed by. I LOVE coconut but the coconut flavor in this bar tasted very fake, almost sunscreen like, and I feel like it ruined what could have been a great bar.

    Product Review Club!!

    I had the opportunity to taste 3 different flavours of Brookside DARK Chocolate bars through the product review club. I have had Brookside Chocolate before through a few of their different chocolate covered fruit items (chocolate covered blueberries and acai berries have always been my favourite) so I was really looking forward to trying in the chocolate bar form and I wasn't disappointed!

    The 3 flavours I tried were; Blueberry Almond with Acai Flavour, Tart Cherry Crisp with Pomegranate Flavour and Mango Coconut Crisp.

    Blueberry Almond with Acai Flavour: Definitely my favourite, it tasted just like the chocolate covered berries that I love so much. It is a rich flavour but not too sweet and also does a really good job at mixing the flavours of blueberry, acai and almond, with real pieces of blueberry and almond. The combination of all the flavours flow really well together and taste amazing. I also found it great as I'm starting a new meal plan that doesn't include much sweets, so the chocolate bars are great because you can break a square off or even break a square off and break it in half for a smaller piece and I found that to be satisfying enough for dessert after dinner AND it's great for sharing.

    Tart Cherry Crisp with Pomegranate Flavour: This one was a very close first! It tasted a bit similar to the blueberry almond. I found with this one that you can really taste the tart cherry at first but then it is quickly diluted with the bitter sweetness of dark chocolate. The flavour really reminded me of cherry chocolates (the ones you buy around christmas) which I LOVE to eat around christmas time but wouldn't want to eat them all year round. This one was also my boyfriends favourite, I think because of the tartness and he really likes sour/tart flavours. The one thing I really enjoyed about this one is the crispiness which they created with something similar to a rice krispy cereal piece but it adds a nice crunch when you're indulging.

    Mango Coconut Crisp: This one was definitely my least favourite out of the three. It was the one I ate the least of which is kind of crummy because I was really looking forward to trying this one. I feel like this one probably would have been better without the mango, I love coconut flavoured anything and I get what they were going for, but I feel like this might be a new flavour that they were experimenting with and failed a bit. There are real pieces of mango in the bar which I feel are just too overpowering and it doesn't really taste like mango as it does orange. You can barely taste the coconut but sometimes you get a random bite where you CAN taste it but then it just ends up tasting like chocolate sunscreen and a bit like Mango Malibu Rum. One thing I did like (as I mentioned in the above review) was the crispiness. Very satisfying when you chew!

    Overall Brookside Chocolate can do no wrong. They make really good quality products that are super tasty, alot of natural ingredients and aren't as bad for you as some of the commercial chocolate bars you see at your grocery store checkout line.

    If you want to try it out, start with their chocolate covered fruit items, you can buy them in large bags AND snack size bags usually found in the chocolate and candy isle at the grocery store.

    Enjoy :)

    I have to say the Mango Coconut Crisp was my least favourite flavour of the Brookside chocolate bars, the smell and aroma once I opened the packaging was too artificial. I didn't enjoy the combination flavours as much as the berry options. Even the packaging was impressive, I noticed that it's not that convenient to seal or eat later once it's opened. I don't think I would buy this flavour or recommend it to a friend.

    I thought out of the three, that this would be my favorite because I love coconut and mangoes! however, for some reason I found the mango a tad artificial in scent and flavor. I would be repurchasing the cherry or blueberry one instead.

    For a chocolate bar this doesn't taste like chocolate at all. I found the sunscreen scent phony and overpowering, and while the bar delivers nice texture and an okay flavour, I wouldn't select it for a treat when there are so many other good options.

    This was the least favourite of the 3. Mostly in part because neither myself or the BF like Mango.

    Overall, the mango played nicely with the dark chocolate to create a wonderful flavour. It just wasn't our cup of tea.

    I received 3 Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bars from Chickadvisor for free. The tablet case is nice looking. It tells you the product name, picture and flavour. The dark chocolate was tasty. I'm a big fan of dark chocolate. I loved the design of the chocolate bar. Makes it look very rich and high quality. I liked the crunchiness and coconut flavour but did not like the mango. It gave a weird taste to the coconut. My daughter also did not like it. If it was a different fruit then it would be perfect
