    I was lucky enough to try this product for free with Chick Advisor. I found this flavour to be the best one out of the 3, but found the texture to be very gummy and this was a very big no no.

    Out of all the Brookside fruit and nut bar flavours, this one is my favourite. It's not overly sweet, but still feels like an indulgence. I will definitely buy this flavour again.

    I was a lucky Chick to get this wonderful bar from ChickAdvisors Review Club. I really liked how the bar had an assortment of nuts and seeds, not just peanuts. The chocolate was great quality, not the usual granola bar waxy kind. The pomegranate & Cherry added a nice sweetness to it and made me feel like I was eating an even healthier granola bar. The taste was good but I would of liked if the bar was a little bit softer. I would buy this product again if it was on sale for sure. Even though it is a premium bar it still seems a little pricey for my budget.

    Although I found this bar to be a little too sweet, I still enjoyed it. It was packed with lots of healthy ingredients and with lots of flavour. I enjoyed that the size of all of the nuts, seeds, etc. were fairly large so you could really taste them.

    The Fruit and Nut bar smells like Brookside chocolate we've come to know and love. There's a good amount chocolate, and it tastes good. Texture-wise, the bar itself is chewy with a generous amount of crunchy nuts. The bar is also pretty filling for it's size. The cherry flavour is there, but I was unable to really taste pomegranate. t is rather sweet, so for me it's more of a dessert-type bar than a snack. (Maybe because I tend to like salty, savoury flavours for snacks.) I loved that it is GMO-free and a great source of fibre. It's just not super healthy because it contains about 13g of sugar. Some of that is from the fruit so take note.
    I received this as part of the Product Review Club in exchange for an honest review.

    This bar was overly sweet for me. I thought the pomegranate would tone the sweetness down but it didn't. I had a hard time finishing this as I don't like foods that taste this high in sugar.

    I received the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars from the Product Review Club.

    These initial comments are relevant to all 3 flavours and flavour specific comments are below.
    My first impression was that they looked amazing. I really liked the transparent packaging. The Visual appeal of the bars is strong with quality ingredients being prominently displayed.

    The portion size is good although $2.00 a bar is a too high in my opinion.

    They use lots of buzzwords like Gluten Free, High Fibre, Source of Antioxidant, All Natural Flavours etc. based on the marketing and packaging of the bars, I believed that I was getting a really healthy, wholesome bar that I could feel good about eating.

    After tasting the bars and reading the ingredient list I'm not so sure that's true. Look closely at the ingredients and you will find that almost 50% of the bars main ingredients are or include high sugar components. (The ingredients are more or less the same for each of the 3 flavours)

    (Ingredient #2) Dark Chocolate (sugar; Chocolate; Cocoa Butter; Milk Fat; Cocoa Processed With Alkali; Soy Lecithin; Milk; Salt; Vanilla)
    Sweetened Blueberries (blueberries; Sugar)
    High Maltose Corn Syrup
    Sweetened Cranberries (CRANBERRIES; Sugar; Grape Juice Concentrate; Blueberry Juice Concentrate; Sunflower Oil)
    Invert Sugar
    Sugar

    I think its important to be fully aware of the true nature of a product rather than the presented nature of a product. If you are buying this bar because you think its a super healthy alternative to some of the other popular snack options you may be mistaken.

    The Cherry Pomegranate flavour was awful. I was really surprised to see all of the positive reviews for this flavour. There is nothing natural tasting about this bar. If I didn't know better I would have thought the fruit pieces were dark chocolate covered cherry nibs. This particular bar couldn't even be redeemed by the whole almonds and pumpkin seeds that I had loved previously. This was a huge disappointment.

    The cherry pomagranate was just as great as the cranberrry flavor. Depend on what flavors you like but the freshness of the fruit blend is great and it has just the right amount of chocolate.

    I received the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut bar Cherry with Pomegranate to test. I was really not sure of this flavour combo but I a very pleasantly surprized how tasty it was. The texture was a soft chew and the flavours danced with my taste buds .I am sold on these
