My Instagram

The cover of this cookbook looks really great and I thought that there would be more pictures of the cooked recipes in the book. There's not. A cookbook that lacks images is not helpful if you ask me. I tried out a few of the recipes and they were pretty good but very bland. But as a weight loss cookbook I kind of expected that.

Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters - Berry Medley Flavors

My Instagram

Smooth dark chocolate, multi-grain clusters and alluring, fruit flavors create an enticingly delicious taste experience. Its unexpected crunch and texture like you've never experienced before. Eat it on the go, at home, during work, share it with friends and take photos to show how you #DiscoverBrookside.

My Review

I can't believe I received this product for review! I loved EVERYTHING about it! Let's start with the packaging. These treats come in a brightly colored, resealable bag. Not that I needed to reseal it too often. I couldn't get over how delicious these were! It was a struggle to not eat the whole bag in the first sitting!

My Instagram

The flavor and texture combinations in these crunchy clusters are to die for. There is a nice crunch with the multi-grain and the chewiness of the dried fruit plus the sweetness of the fruit and the bitterness of the dark chocolate. Sigh, I might need to go shopping just for these soon.

I shared these with my family and friends. This was probably the worst part of this whole sample and share, letting them go. I mailed a package of items to a friend in Florida and she suggested I include a small bag of these since she follows my Instagram and saw me posting about them. I reluctantly did and she was ecstatic! She scarfed down the whole bag in minutes and told me it was a good thing I didn't send more or she would have ruined her diet.

I made cookies for some coworkers and slipped a few of these crunchy clusters into each cookie. They were an even bigger hit than I thought they would be. Three dozen cookies gone in less than half an hour. 

I also took what was left of the bag home to visit my family. I offered some to everyone in the house and before I knew it, they were gone. I miss them already. I will be heading to Meijer today to buy more since they are on sale 2 for $7. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free from Crowdtap.com.
