Reviews mention

  • Tasty low‑sugar candies
  • Nostalgic flavor recreations
  • Bright, fruity flavor profiles
  • Convenient portioned packaging
  • Extremely sticky texture
  • Inconsistent chewiness firmness
  • Sweetener aftertaste lingering
  • Potential gastrointestinal discomfort

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.

  • Love that this brand offers a healthy alternative to sweets but you can definitely tell it’s not real candy. Their version of sour patch is super super chewy and gummy. It really gets stuck in your teeth.

  • Somehow these sweets don't make me feel terrible, even if I eat an entire bag. The flavors are awesome.

  • LOVE THESE. Taste and texture are on point.

  • These are great when you have a gummy craving. The flavor is not as strong as other brands and the package has a small serving size which is fine. It’s harder to find all types in stores and harder to find a value pack.

  • I love the idea of this, but the candy just does not taste great. It makes sense since it is healthy, but I wish it tasted better.

  • These are great for someone who can’t have too much sugar but if you’re looking for some candy candy you might be a bit disappointed. Still I think they did really low sugar really well

  • I like these, but they are very chewy. So I grab them only when I'm craving something very chewy.

  • Love the concept, but I hate stevia and so most of them you can really taste it.

  • This is the best cheat food ever created! I can’t have sugar, so whenever I’m really craving some junk like a gummy worm, this is my go to treat. And of course kids love it, it totally doesn’t take “fake” like so many stevia products. Very well done!

  • I thought that they tasted decent but the texture wasn't "right". You also need to pay attention to how much fiber is in one of the packets or you will be regretting it later.

  • Great idea, but it seems overly expensive for what it is. The packages are quite small.

  • Smart Sweets is a delightful treat that doesn't compromise on taste while keeping health in check. My daughter absolutely adores them, and I feel good about her snacking choice. A perfect blend of sweetness and smart nutrition, they're a hit in our household!

  • Weird ass taste, sugar alcohols give bubble guts. Just eat the real thing!

  • I love Smart Sweets! My favorite flavor is sour watermelon. It's great to indulge guilt-free!

  • Love the healthier option for chewy candies. At first the texture was a little difficult to get used to but now I love them and prefer them!

  • One of the only candy brands we have in our house! Dye and toxic free! Adult & kid friendly for when you want a clean sweet treat!
