  • I really wanted to like these, gummy candy is my favorite. I bought the sour watermelon and it was fake sugary tasting and so sour I couldn’t choke them down. Super disappointed, as I like another sour gummy type candy but these were way off the mark.

  • Sometimes i try to cut down my sugar intake and this is the perfect for those times when im craving something sweet.

  • Great taste

  • Didn’t like the ones I purchased. It made me not want t to try them again. Flavorless and would rather have regular candy with the sugar in it because these tasted like bland

  • Hate to say it but they’re just not that good. If you have a craving for candy, you can try and pretend that they’re the sugary processed kind. They still aren’t so great for you and the texture is so off.

  • I first saw these on TikTok and I knew I wanted to test them out. I soon went to Target to purchase them and they were super yummy. The peach rings are my go-too!

  • Okay, so these taste better than I expected them to, a little artificial but not terribly so. My main complaint is that they do have a lot of artificial sugar so if I eat a whole package (which of course I'm going to do) I get a stomach ache and pretty bad bloating.

  • Love having a low sugar option for that gummy candy craving! The texture is a little odd but the flavors are consistently great.

  • These sweets are low in sugar. Not too sweet for me. I love the texture. I take them to work with me and I share them with everyone. They all love them.

  • Taste is amazing!

  • I really wanted to like this brand, especially with how much I eat gummy candy. The sugar alternative is so strong and I can't get past it. The after taste of the flavor makes it harder to keep eating. As well, they get stuck on my teeth which is a bit annoying.

  • The gummies stick onto your teeth which I don't like. It might be having better ingredients but the aftermath of having sticking gummies between your mouth is not good.

  • I love SmartSweets. They really curb my appetite for candy and sugar without the guilt of eating a whole bag of super sugar candies. My favorite are the Swedish fish inspired ones but they are all good. They get stuck in your teeth a little bit but that’s expected of candy for me.

  • I love these candies! Guilt-free and tastes amazing! My favorite is the gummy worms and swedish fish. Definitely will choose these over the common brands. Try it!!

  • Overall, these are fine sugar-free candy alternatives. The price is a little crazy for the amount you get. At my Whole Foods, the small bags are about 3x the price of a standard/regular bag of candy, and are the highest-priced "alternative" candy in the aisle. They do however get the job done. If you are watching your sugar intake, these candies will knock your sweet tooth out in a great way. From that perspective, I do appreciate having them around. It can be worth their cost if it means staying on track with my diet goals.

  • Well the sour watermelon weren’t as sour as I expected and more firm than gummy.

  • Love this brands products. I’m obsessed with gummies, so it’s great to find a “healthier” version.

  • Great tasting sweets to satisfy that sweet tooth. I personally love the small package size because it helps stop me from over indulging.

  • They look appealing and similar taste to what I like, but can feel less guilty.
