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.

Big sour-candy person and these are rly yum alternatives I don't feel guilty about. Based on the flavor, they can have a bit of a weird texture, but not enough to drive me away.

Good replacement for full sugar, full fat candy. Can be really sticky depending on the flavor.

Have not tried a single product from this brand that I enjoyed. All seem to be overly chewy and have bad flavor.

I loved the flavor of SmartSweets candy, but they are a little too chewy for my personal liking. I prefer a super soft chew.

Love the idea of no sugar and clean ingredients. But I cannot get past how much they stick to my teeth. Makes the experience not enjoyable.

While I do not believe that these are comparable to their full sugar counterparts, once I got used to the flavor/texture, I found them to be somewhat satisfying substitutes for real candy. It just takes a minute to adjust but if you need a fix but don't want to consume all the sugar, these are a great choice.

They may be a little harder than the regular candy but overall they aren't so bad.

I like the idea of a low sugar candy! These also are very tasty and dont have a strange after taste but they are very sticky. They get stuck to my teeth where I have to use my fingers to remove the candy and Id rather not have to do that.

Wonderful, low glycemic sweet treat. Variety of standard candy dupes that don’t leave you missing the original. Some opportunity for chewier texture, some lean on the sticky side.

When you're craving a gummie without all the sugar, these are decent.

A bit of a high price tag but taste great - just as good as regulars sweetish fish or the sour watermelon candies! Love that they have better for you ingredients. A great way to treat yourself.

I have tried the Smart Sweets Sweets Fish option and while they don't taste just like swedish fish, they're a better sweet treat option and taste pretty good, plus no artificial dyes will definitely keep me as a customer in the future.

Pretty good gummy bears . Bought a package while at check out and was pleasantly surprised that less sugar meant good taste

Texture is definitely different from a standard gummy candy, these are much chewier and dense. But once you get past that, these are a great alternative for those trying to minimize sugar intake. Flavours are great with one exception. I have enjoyed the gummy worms, peach rings and cola bottles, the sour watermelon wedges though have a weird after taste and would not be my first choice to grab.

Yummy candy that has much less sugar but satisfies a candy craving.

Great in theory but the taste is not even remotely close to the real thing. Not to mention they aren't cheap! They are very hard/sticky so I would definitely not recommend if you have fillings or caps. Overall the products left me feeling unsatisfied.

I really enjoyed their candies, they make watching your carbs and sugar intake easier.

Super yummy!! The fake sugar is more noticeable in the sugar coated items but it’s not a bad taste! Definitely will end up eating too many…
