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.

Very tasty candy but for the price you don't get that much.

There's definitely a taste tradeoff with these, they're nowhere close to the candies they attempt to replicate. Much smaller size gummies, small portion size in the bag, not sweet at all, and a very gooey texture that's hard to chew. A good idea in theory but product formula needs some work.
The SmartSweets SourMelons and Peach Rings are my favorite snacks. They taste just as good (if not better than) other candies without the guilt.
It looks the same as the Candy we all love but does not taste like anything like it, even texture is way way off
I try to limit my sugar consumption because I am prone to diabetes, so I love having Smart Sweets peach rings when I’m having a sugar craving!
Not a fan of these and really wanted to be! The branding is so cute but the candies are so sticky they’re hard to get out of your teeth

Great if your looking for something sugary but not overpowering and is quite healthy
The sour watermelons are phenomenal. I really enjoy them as a sweet lower calorie choice. The only down side is they do get stuck in your teeth pretty easily.
The gummy worms and peach rings are absolute winners in my book! There are some not-so-great options in my opinion (I'm looking at you, Liquorice), but overall, really great low-sugar candies!

Taste great but expensive and small packages

SmartSweets are the best low sugar treats on the market in my opinion. I’ve tried many competitor brands and the texture of Smart Sweets cannot be matched.
Tasty candy that helps me feel better about my occasional sweeth tooth. My only complaint is that these are chewier and stickier than a normal gummy candy, and they get stuck on the fronts and bottoms of my teeth when I eat them. It's gets pretty annoying. For that reason, I don't go out of my way to buy these.
Love this brand for options for my kids!
love these! Only critique i'd have is the sour peaches are a little hard to bite, don't give them to my kids because of that.
Amazing amazing amazing! The watermelon bites and peach rings are the best. Low carb/sugar and lots of fiber!
Yummy!

Such a wonderful alternative to regular candy. I dont get the sugar crash, and it satisfies my cravings!
May satisfy a sweet tooth but it has a very odd, unpleasant texture and mouthfeel

THESE little treats. My goodness. Very satisfying, they all have a slight acrid tang that reminds me of the scene in American Hustle where Jennifer Lawrence talks about how good perfumes have something rotten underneath the beautiful smells. They get stuck in my teeth but not in a damning way.
My favourite treat. I nearly always have a bag with me in my purse. They are the perfect little treat without any of the guilt. As a girl who loved penny candies in her youth, these really hit the spot in my nostalgic brain.
