SmartSweets reviews and discussion
Reviews mention
- Vivid, nostalgic flavors
- Lower‑sugar candy formulas
- Convenient portion packs
- Vegan, plant‑based options
- Extremely sticky texture
- Inconsistent chew quality
- Notable sweetener aftertaste
- Potential gi discomfort
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.

Smart Sweets makes really delicious candies with less sugar! I really love their seasonal sweets around Christmas and Easter time. They are great for gifting! The gummies have a nice, chewy texture. I only wish they had bigger bags!
NoneWell 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.
Taste is amazing!

fun gummy candy experience. Fun colors shapes and packaging. Flavors are traditional and fun
Friends with SmartSweetsTaste pretty good, but texture is a tad bit off
A good healthier option to traditional candy. Favorite candy options in portion controlled packs.

I’ve tried a couple SmartSweets and honestly I have never liked them. I think the ingredients are fine but it’s not tasty

Smart sweets are delicious. I love that they make a healthy version of every good candy. We do not have enough fiber in our diets as we should and this is a perfect low calorie way to get some.
I like the products that this brand makes and they are widely available in stores, but wish the price point was a little bit lower.
Not a fan of the taste. Tastes, kind of gelatinous and sour not very pleasant.

Not a favorite...
SmartSweets' dedication to creating low-sugar, high-fiber candies is remarkable. I love how they offer guilt-free indulgence with their delicious flavors, making them a go-to option for satisfying cravings without compromising on health.
They are okay. I wouldn’t personally get them again just wasn’t a fan.
Now these are great! They taste amazing and are less guilt than traditional candy. I love trying all the different kinds!
Healthier alternative to traditional HASBRO gummy bears. More expensive and less taste.
For a healthier alternative it is pretty good!
I wanted to love these because I love sour candy but I could tell these were a bit off. they tasted sugar free and I wish they were more sour! I love the branding but not the product.

Odd taste, they definitely taste healthier than traditional candy. Good alternative for gummy candy lovers.
