Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut

Brookside Dark Chocolate began its journey in 1954 in British Columbia, Canada, as the Brookside Farms Confectionery. It originally specialized in fine chocolates and nut-based snacks before developing its signature process for creating fruit-flavored centers dipped in dark chocolate. This innovation eventually led to the brand's rapid expansion across North America, positioning it as a premium snack option in the confectionery market.

In 2011, The Hershey Company acquired Brookside Foods Ltd. to bolster its portfolio of healthy, premium chocolate snacks. Today, while the brand is owned by an American multinational, its primary production facilities remain in Canada, specifically in Abbotsford and Saint-Hyacinthe. The brand continues to focus on the "better-for-you" segment of the chocolate industry, combining exotic fruit flavors like acai and pomegranate with cocoa.

Currently, Brookside is managed as a key international brand under The Hershey Company. The manufacturing leverages high-quality processes to maintain the unique texture and flavor profiles established by the original Canadian founders, ensuring that the brand maintains its premium heritage despite its global distribution network.
