SmartSweets earns positive reviews for genuinely tasty, low‑sugar takes on nostalgic gummies like Sweet Fish, Peach Rings, Sourmelon Bites, and Red Twists; it satisfies cravings and often avoids “fake” sweetener aftertaste. Reviews also flag real drawbacks: many candies are extremely sticky or tough, flavors can be inconsistent with occasional stevia/allulose aftertaste and GI upset, and portions feel small. Overall, SmartSweets is good if cutting sugar, but texture quirks and formula variability make it a compromise for purists.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I love the mission of this brand
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!!
I tried the peach rings. Obviously these don’t taste identical to the full sugar ones, but they are still good! They’re a great alternative if you’re trying to limit sugar.
These candies taste just about as good as the original, especially the watermelon wedges, and satisfy that sweet tooth when you're trying to get rid of sugar in your life.

They look appealing and similar taste to what I like, but can feel less guilty.
Obsessed with the sour blast buddies. A better alternative to sour patch kids. The texture is extremely chewy/stick to your teeth. I'm excited to try the tropical flavor. Absolutely worth trying!
These sweets taste AMAZING! They're just like the real thing. However, if you have a sensitive stomach, please beware....eating the entire bag will not make you feel good. But they are a great alternative for candy, just moderate your pacing (unlike me....). They are a little on the pricey side, but if you are trying to lower sugar intake, they are well worth the money. Happy Snacking! :)
These are okay, but they have a strong aftertaste of artificial sweetener that make these not worth it over regular candy.

My sweet tooth has never been so excited! For these candies to be as healthy and delicious as they are, they’re very dangerous!
Fun! I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase, but they make for good snacks if available.
The BEST. I recently bought the sour watermelon candy at target! I am obsessed with them and love the new resealable bags!

I have enjoyed the SmartSweets products that I have tried, especially the Sourmelon Bites! At first, I struggled with comparing them to the higher sugar, more popular candies that I am used to because obviously they do not taste as sweet and artificial. However, once I started thinking of them as completely separate products, I liked them a lot more!
Very tasty. I love the bright packaging, it’s eye catching and makes me want to buy more. They are lower sugar but you can’t tell which i appreciate.

Love the idea but the candies didn't sit well with me. Think I'm just not used to the monkfruit.

Too sweet for my family.
I love these candies because they taste as great as classic candy, but they are healthier. Considering that they taste great and are good I think that it is worth buying them since they are healthy and tasty.

I’ve never really liked any of the varieties because the texture is off-putting. Pretty much every single one gets so stuck in your teeth! I was really disappointed because I’d heard so many positive reviews from others.

I love smart sweets but sometimes they can really get stuck in my teeth!
