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.

I used to be obsessed with these, but recently haven't found myself reaching for them much. My faves are the coca cola ones and the peach rings. They do taste a little stale sometimes, depends on the batch you get.

Very tasty feels 100% better eating this candy than normal sugary brands

Great sweet treat that has less sugar than regular candy but doesn't sacrifice the texture.
I am not a huge fan of candy, to begin with, but I think smart sweets does a great job of creating a product that tastes good while being low in sugar. I have enjoyed everything that I have tried. The packaging is cute, too!
Love these gummies for the flavors but they’re softer than Haribo texture-wise.
Great substitute for "normal" candy if you want a sweet treat, I find the big bags (for whatever reason) have better texture and the individually bagged ones get stuck in your teeth more
My daughter loves eating these low sugar candies and I feel better about letting her have these sweets knowing that they're not full of sugar!
Great macros. Tastes like regular candy

I want to love this brand because of the lower sugar content, but the taste isn't quite there.
Not for me. Sometimes alternative sweeteners taste so artificial! I would skip these and go for the real ones if you need a treat.
texture can be hit or miss but good replacement for sugar cravings
Such a good way to get a sweet fix in

My kids love these and a great alternative to the usual brands filled w dyes and chemicals
SmartSweets are my go-to candy these days. I love the sweet fish and peach rings. They're a great serving size and a fantastic alternative to some of the "less healthy" original forms of those candies. I love to toss them in my golf bag for a sweet treat mid-round. The only thing that I don't like about these is that they're extra soft and get stuck in my teeth way more than other brands.

These are a really great snack for if you are having a sweet tooth and trying to avoid sugar. They texture and flavor are a bit disappointing though. It doesn’t have the gummy texture, and has a little bit of the fake sweet taste. I still have repurchased them though
I love peach rings, but rarely buy them because they always feel a little too sweet. I’m so glad to have found these! They definitely have less sweetness, but they’re still delicious. And I appreciate the smaller package too, even though it makes them a bit more expensive.
Absolutely loved smart sweets. They are the perfect snack. Are a guilt-free pleasure that is genuinely so good. The peach rings and twizzlers are my favs, but I've tried and loved them all
Did not love the flavors or texture.
This is a great option for a cleaner way to eat sweets with much less sugar.

I enjoy these but the formula has changed and they arent as good tasting.
