3.9

SmartSweets earns largely positive reviews as a lower‑sugar candy that satisfies cravings—standouts include Sweet Fish, Peach Rings, Sourmelon Bites, red twists, and gummy worms—while recurring complaints in reviews cite an extremely sticky, tooth‑clinging texture and occasional odd or stevia‑like aftertaste. Reviews also note inconsistent chew across flavors and batches, plus some GI sensitivity for a few users; if you want a healthier candy fix and can accept a different chew, SmartSweets is a compelling swap, but purists may prefer the originals.

    I have trying to reduce my sugar as you find it in just about everything these days. I do like a sweet treat every now and then so finding candy that has such low sugar is a win for me. These are by no means the best candy in the world, but a good alternative.

    SmartSweets used to be my go-to for a low-sugar gummy, especially the Sourmelon Bites because I love a watermelon candy, but the new "improved" recipe just doesn’t hit the same. The texture isn't as satisfying. Still a decent option if you’re avoiding sugar, but definitely not what it used to be.

    I tried their Tropical Sours Gummy Candy and I was not a fan. The sour taste was more like a rancid kind of flavor. The sweetness was pretty much nonexistent and the nutrition was nothing to rave about. All in all, for the nutrition value and price point, I don't think these gummies are worth it. Just eat regular gummies or if you want something healthy have some fruit, not this weird in-between snack that doesn't satisfy either desire.

    These are possibly my favorite low-sugar snacks. I love how they incorporate fun flavors that normally would be full of sugar and calories and give a better option. I also like that they are run by women. The price is a bit higher but well worth it.
