SmartSweets reviews and discussion

I was so surprised to see smart sweets ranked so low on here- I am obsessed! I think you just have to set your expectations, they're candy that only have 3-4 grams of sugar in it. It won't taste identical, but to me it's pretty darn close and I'd rather eat this than the "full sugar" versions anyday. Guilt free!

I buy these from Costco and absolutely love them. The Swedish fish are awesome and less sweet than the brand they imitate. I wish they weren’t as expensive in non-Costco stores. I do pick up a slight artificial sweetener aftertaste but I personally don’t mind that.

Some of the candies/flavors are better than others! The stevia can have kind of a weird aftertaste in my opinion.

This is a good brand/product if you want your sugar fix without actual sugar. however there are still random fillers in this brand, but I really appreciate the low cal low sugar option. good texture and taste imho

Low sugar candies are great to help consumers lower their sugar intake. Sometimes I want something sweet, but candies on the market are often too sweet. These are a great alternative, but there are more options on the market now as well.

Love these, taste great, can give you gas if you're sensitive to chicory root fiber.

This brand is the closest to candy i’ve ever had for not being really candy, but the artificial sugar taste is pretty strong. And it’s pretty pricey.

These sweets claim to be a low sugar better for you alternative to nostalgic candies and it does so with a few compromises. The texture of these candies especially the gummies lack the bouncy type of jelly texture that the originals have and trades it for something a lot more firm and set in. Considering the huge difference in sugar content and the added fiber, I think it's a good item to curb bad sugar habits and functions exceptionally in that mode.

Great that these are a "healthy" option, but the flavor and texture is quite bad.

I thought the candies would taste a little better but the packaging is cute.

I really wanted to love these as gummies are my favorite candy. However, I haven't found any of the flavors overly enjoyable.

At first bite they taste feel like “normal” candy. I did notice after a few they are more gummy than other candies.

I had the gummy people's didn't quite enjoy the texture. kept sticking to my teeth, but the flavor were on point.

These are really tasty! I love how they taste like the actual candy, but they fill you up way faster. I can eat half a bag and save the rest for later and still fill my sweet tooth.

Smart sweets are pretty effective for healthier sweets. I feel they don’t differ from any other candies and are tasty for gatherings finger foods

Great alternative to some of the common sweets.

I think it’s small for the price and tastes very artificial.

Smart sweets are a great alternative for regular candy. They won’t taste exactly as the candy they mirror but if you are open minded then they will be your new go to! Plus packed with fiber!!

I love these candies—they make it fun to eat low-sugar. Their Peach Rings and Watermelon Slices are definitely my favorite. I just wish they were a little more affordable.

These are great low-sugar treats! I have been tying to eat higher protein/lower sugar for years, and find these to be a great option when I'm in the mood for something sweet. I appreciate the variety offered as well.
