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.

Texture is more on the sticky side, but I like that it has less sugar than traditional gummy candy and tastes the same.

Love the gummies! When you are trying to watch your carbs, finding fun things to eat is hard. Smartsweets makes it easy to have a sweet treat on-the-go. They are a little pricey for the number of candies, but they are worth it when your choices are limited. I love that I can find them at drug stores.

SmartSweets candies are a great alternative to traditional candies when trying to curb a sweet tooth. Although they don’t have the exact same texture and taste as the products they are meant to substitute, they are still delicious. My favorite are the peach rings!

I can see the appeal but the texture throws me off a bit. I am also not a fan of the fake sugar they use, it tastes like stevia. I do not think I am the intended audience in the end.

I love this brand as they are primarily focused on low sugar candies. I got my package and I love it!

I wish i liked them more i just don't! I think they are an awesome option and alternative for people who really need to count/watch their sugars but these just don't do it for me. I do think that as a brand overall - they have done a great job providing dupes of lots of SKUS and the brand vibe is very fun and playful which i like.

Taste so good. Underrated. Better than traditional sweets. They are also great for ~digestion~ (which no one ever talks about!!! the fiber content is GREAT!!!! I give this to my little sister when she’s constipated and it always does the job.)

These are delicious alternatives to your super sugary candies. They taste great without all the unnecessary ingredients and calories.

Love the sour gummy bears and sour watermelon - they save me when I had pregnancy cravings but wanted something healthier that wasn’t loaded with sugar

I’ve tried a few of the smart sweets including the peach rings, gummy worms, watermelon, and the Swedish fish ones. I think these are great alternatives to the real thing! They’re not exact copies but if you’re looking for a sweet treat and want to avoid the excess sugar it’s a great swap!

I love this gummy alternative. It's so much healthier than everything out on the shelves. I love the portion, packaging and especially the taste. Give it a try!

They’re good, I like the way they taste. Just two complaints- 1. The cost 2. The fact that it’s almost always filled with air :(

Was a great tasting candy without all of the sugar of normal candies. Taste test made me wanting more and would recommend:-)

I really wanted to love these since I'm such a candy eater, but I couldn't get over the texture of these gummies. They weren't as chewy as normal candy so didn't provide the same satisfaction for me. I do see the appeal for a better healthier alternative but I just end up eating the real thing after.
