  • 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.

  • These actually taste good and provide that guilt free sweet pick me up!

  • Better than regular candy imo. Low sugar is a win

    Friends with SmartSweets
  • I enjoyed the gummy worms. I think that this is a better for you option but I have such a sweet tooth, sometimes I want the real thing!

  • These are addicting! I love the cute packaging too and gets me everytime. The sourness is just right

  • I have tried many of the SmartSweets candies and love them all! They have a great texture, and are only have 3 grams of sugar per bag (but they don't taste like it-- well, unless you just had something super sweet, then you might be able to tell). I love the peach rings, sour blast buddies, and gummy worms. I o only wish they were less expensive, but I guess the price keeps me from eating them too often lol

  • i tried all of the candy and it was very delicious

  • They’re fine for the low sugar alternative but I would rather eat fruit then these.

  • delicious. the flavor is there but sometimes the texture feels off. the peach rings are especially chewy, but if you're looking for a healthy candy alternative I would go with this brand

  • So good and nice ingredients. I like all the sour jellies.

  • Love these products so much! They help satisfy my sweet tooth all while staying within my macros. Love that they are reasonably priced and can find them just abo if anywhere! The flavors are phenomenal.

  • The texture was a little off from a normal gummy - a little too sticky and not quite as chewy. I refrigerated my bag and thought it helped somewhat. Overall I still really appreciate having a vegan and low sugar option for gummies, and want to try other flavors!

  • Wow are these delicious! I don't understand how their sugar free because you cannot tell it all. This is such a great snack to have when you are doing the keto diet. They literally have saved my life and kept me on track with my diet goals. There is plenty in one package and it's well worth the money. I can't wait to try more of their options.

  • Great idea and much healthy but have kind of an unpleasant aftertaste if you eat more than a few.

  • I love that these are low calorie and I can indulge in a lot of it and not feel guilty. However, I will say that they taste healthy and the texture is a bit chewier/sticky for my liking. Otherwise great products

  • Verrrrry gummy Swedish fish that stick to your teeth like nobodies business. But! They are slightly less in calorie and low in sugar. If you have an itch for something sweet and taffy like, maybe reach for these. I think I’ll be sticking with zero sugar puddings

  • Love these and it gives the illusion of being somewhat healthy 😂
