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.

For candy that is low in sugar SmartSweets does the trick! Overall these candies satisfy my sweet tooth and the flavours are pretty spot on. The packaging is cute and I love the whole concept. My personal favourites are the Cola Gummies and the Sourmelon Bites
Feedback
Some of the candies are better then others in terms of after taste. As well, some of these candies can be really sticky and tough to chew.

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.

To be honest I don’t really love it, the texture is not for me. Also the packaging is very deceiving, while it looks fun, sugar coated, and colorful… the actual candy doesn’t look that way. Also, it gets stuck in my teeth and is hard to chew, not the gummy you would expect

I really enjoyed the hard candies and lollipops from these period with a few of the candies. You definitely can tell that they are a low sugar alternative so if you are used to that you may like them more than I did, I definitely would recommend a few of the flavors.

Perfect swap for traditional candies and treats. This is what I give my kids specially the Swedish Fish option. I have also been known to take it with me to the gym for mid session treat. No dyes which makes my momma heart happy.

I absolutely love these sweets! I love candy and snacking but am watching my weight..These candies have low sugar, no sugar alcohol , low calories, and no artificial sweeteners ! You get just enough in the package to fulfill your sweets craving and best of all is that they taste sooooooo good! Oh and they're plant 🪴 based..yeehaw!! Plant based for the win!

I came across the SmartSweets during Covid when I was on my weight loss journey. I wanted to find a healthier option for snacks. So I had a chance to try the smartsweets Swedish fish. Which is one of my favorite candies of all time. It has less than 2 g of sugar. It’s just a great alternative if you want to have a sweet snack, but without all the sugar.

They have expanded friend to include other snacks. And some of their snacks are highly addictive.

I’m so happy I came across an add for iwi cholesterol on social media. I had just had blood work done and my lipid profile was abnormally high and my primary care doctor wanted to start me on a oral Statin. I told him no and wanted to see what I could do on my own with diet and a natural supplement. I starting taking iwi Cholesterol one month ago along with a low carb diet since I’m not able to exercise due to cervical neck and back issues. And my cholesterol level went from 257 to 194 triglycerides went from 238 to 161 and my LDL one from 162 to 115 My HDL 47 remains low and that’s due to decreased physical activity. So to say I was blown away by these results is an understatement and so was my doctor! So If anyone is still on the fence about whether to try iwi Cholesterol. Go ahead and take that chance, I’m so happy I did and I can honestly say IT WORKS!!

The best low-sugar candy I've tried! My mom is on a strict diet and LOVES these! I wouldn't compare them to the regular candies they're based off of, but more of their own candy inspired by those classic candies. I started working with them after trying their sweet fish candies and they've treated me amazing!
Feedback
I have no improvements and love what they're doing with their brand!

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

The peach rings were my favorite but they changed the ingredients and made them thicker and changed the color scheme.

Not bad for 2g sugar! Better than twizzlers. I’d fancy a more licorice-y flavor and texture, though.

Great taste

I love that smart sweets is a low calorie, low sugar option. I enjoy the flavor and the fact that it’s candy but doesn’t have all the junk like most candies do.
I love sweets and am always trying to watch my sugar intake but I really did not like the taste or texture of the sweets I tried.
Feedback
The flavor was incredibly bitter and the candy stuck to my teeth and was hard to eat!
Every product I have tried from Smart Sweets has been SO good. It's hard to believe they aren't packed full of sugars. They are my go-to airplane & travel snack.
Feedback
The gummy bears, sometimes get a little too chewy for my liking.
SmartSweets are an awesome low-sugar candy alternative—love that they satisfy my sweet tooth without the guilt! The texture is great and the ingredients are clean, but some flavors are a bit off or artificial-tasting. Still a solid treat I keep coming back to!
These are low-sugar and still enjoyable. I like the small size bags they come in. Just the right size! I was excited to have found them at my local SuperTarget.
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
