    I got to try this through the Product Review Club ! Overall, I don't think I'll be buying another one. The price is steep for a granola bar equivalent. The taste was alright, found it to be on the sweet side with just too much going on. I do like that it is very natural, with a great source of fiber, made with real fruit, and also not a GMO !!

    Very mediocre product in my opinion. The taste wasn't fantastic, although it is a great source of nutrition. There are definitely other healthy fruit / nut bars out there that would be more worth my money.

    I received the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Blueberry with Acai to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club.

    I'm not usually a fan of acai and I did find the flavour overwhelming in this bar compared to the other ingredients, but as a whole it was very nice. I think it was the dark chocolate that made a difference. Very chewy yet crunchy.

    It isn't much healthier compared to other snack bars when it comes to sugar and calorie content, but it is more nutritious and offers antioxidants.

    I would eat this again and would recommend it!

    My three year old son liked this bar but my husband and myself found it a bit dry. The flavor was alright but we didn't really enjoy it as much as we were hoping. The nutritional content was very good though.

    I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
    I love blueberries. Fresh juicy blueberries. I found the blueberries in this bar were not good. At all. I took one bite and was not impressed. I couldn't taste anything else (acai, dark chocolate, seeds) because I found the blueberry taste so overwhelming. And for 13 grams of sugar, not worth it to me.

    It's like a granola bar amplified! Blueberry with acai didn't sound too appealing at first- it sounded too superfoodie, but it was delicious. The size of the bar is just perfect- not too small that you're wanting more, but not so big it feels like an entire meal. The blueberry flavor was sweet yet still tart. Delicious.

    Got three different flavors of bars in to try -- Blueberry with Acai, Cherry with Pomegranate and Cranberry with Blackberry. All tasted good -- a nice mix of sugary sweet and healthy. Cherry with Pomegranate was my favorite but all tasted good. Not too sickly sweet/sugar overload like with a straight chocolate bar but not the drab and unpleasant force myself to chew and swallow that I usually get when I eat a healthy 'fruit' bar snack.

    A really nice ratio of chocolate to pleasant tasting fruits and nuts with the darker, less sweet taste off setting the sweeter taste of dried fruit.

    Pleasantly surprised overall - will now reach for one of those instead of a less appealing quick snack on the go at a checkout!

    we received free samples of these bars and we were very surprised with how good they actually tasted! my husband took them to work for a nutritional snack and he said that they gave him some extra energy to make it through the day.
    We were impressed and would definitely buy the brookside bars again!

    I was really excited to test this fruit and nut bar thanks for Brookside and Chickadvisor! I love the Brookside brand chocolate pieces and was excited to try it in a bar form. I love both blueberry and acai berries, but found that this bar was extremely tart for my tastes and lacked any type of sweetness, I was expecting more of a "granola bar" taste and texture but this was an entirely new experience. It was very dense and filling and I did like the whole almond pieces in the mix. Sadly, I actually couldn't taste the thin layer of chocolate what so ever over the tartness of the berries. you can tell just by looking at it that it is a premium product with premium ingredients, but expect the premium price tag to follow. I would have loved to actually be able to taste the chocolate, but overall it was ok.

    Love them! Their on the "healthier side" of the sweets. Their delicious and surprisingly so to me. Their addicting and I have them in the house all the time.

    I think the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut Bar with Blueberry and Acai was probably my favourite out of the 3 I was lucky enough to try through the Product Review Club! I found I really like the texture and it wasn't too hard - even with all the nuts. Not low in calories - but a good solid protein source and great for snacks and lunches!
