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 surprised how much I enjoyed this bar out of the three I was selected to review. It had a very pleasing taste and I didnt find it nearly as tart as the other two. Like the others, I would have loved to have more chocolate on the actual product as the thin layer on the bottom wasnt nearly enough for my tastes, but overall it was pretty good. I loved the whole almonds and it had a really nice crunch to it.

I think the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit and Nut Bar with Cranberry and Blackberry was my second most 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, good for energy and great for snacks and lunches! The cranberries and blackberries added a really nice texture and sweetness to this bar. Will be buying more for sure.

I really liked the taste of this bar. It was nice and filling and best part was that it was only 12g of sugar vs the amount of sugar in many other health bars.

I really liked this bar of the three I tested from Chick Advisor. Can't say enough about the dark chocolate on the bottom. I found it a nice touch and it felt like a treat.

Of the three, cherry was my favorite, but this was definitely a close second.

I am currently enjoying this bar as a mid morning snack to compliment my yogurt I had for breakfast and definitely hits the spot and will hopefully tie me over until lunch time. I love the texture of the bar. Its soft and has the right about of crunch from the seeds and almonds that should be there. I like that the syrup that binds the bar together doesn't get super hard where you have to have a tug a war to get the first bite. The flavours are all really good and go well together. I also love the long expiry on these, great to have in an emergency kit.
I received these bars compliments of Chickadvisor and Brookside. Thanks so much for the delicious treats.

This was a great tasting bar. The dark chocolate combined nicely with the fruit and nuts and it was a satisfying afternoon treat. I really like that the chocolate wasn't too sweet, allowing me to taste the other components of the bar. Definitely a great bar to keep in your purse or gym bag for a pick me up when you need one!

I have tried all 3 varieties available in this bar and THIS one is my favourite! Cranberry and Blackberry is a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The dark chocolate is delicious. This bar makes for a perfect snack, satisfies your sweet tooth and is healthy! I love that this bar is not too sweet like most granola fruit bars.

I received this dark chocolate fruit and nut bar for free as a product tester. The bars are so delicious. They are moist, yet still crispy. The fruit components are very prominent throughout the bar. If you do not like this fruit combination then you will not like the bar. They are filling and satisfying, great for a snack. At a cost of $1.99 a bar you can’t go wrong - basically the cost of a chocolate bar and no one has an issue spending that much on one of those!.

I received these as a free sample from Chick Advisor. This was my least favouritte of the bars just because I am not a very big fan of cranberries that are "in" things. I was expecting a tough, brittle bar, but this exceeded my texture expectations. The price might deter me from purchasing in the future, but perhaps as a nice treat!
