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.

Super sticky and does not disintegrate well. Sticks to molars and the flavoring could be better. I believe in the mission of the product but could definitely see it improve in both flavor and texture.

I love grabbing a bag of these for guilt free snacking. They are delicious and often satisfy my sugar craving. I do wish they were less expensive though. It would also be great to have a bulk-buy option - I wish I could just stick a couple into my daily snack bag.

Great for those eating low-carb and wanting a sweet snack! Tastes just like the sugary-laden peach rings!

Smart Sweets are now my go-to candy as I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle. As someone who can overindulge in sweets, I love that I can enjoy a bag of Smart Sweets and not have that deep regret the moment I finish the bag. They are a great source of fibre, my favourites are the gummy worms and gummy bears as I find they taste most like the originals!

We like the concept of this product and find ourselves buying it when we crave sweets but can't afford the calories. However, it seems that the product can be really tough and chewy if the distributor or seller handles or stores it improperly. We have had a few bags that are just filling-rippers.

SmartSweets are a great option when trying to cut out sugar! I like the peach rings better than the regular ones. They do have a slightly different taste to them, but totally worth it to save my body from all the extra sugar!

Sweet tooth extraordinaire over here! Always on the hunt for something that is relatively more healthy than the average candy and smart sweets curbs that craving in a flash. From the peach rings to the candy coated chocolates all their varieties hit the mark!

Honestly thought these were pretty delish and almost identical to the other candies they are a bit more tart and not as sweet but still so good

It hurts me to give this product less than 5 stars. Smart Sweets helped me when I was cutting down my sugar intake and really helped alleviate me of that nagging sugar craving. I am personally a big fan of their peach rings and sour bear flavours, which can satisfy the craving for sour patch kids or fuzzy peaches. However, although this product helped me on my journey, the high fibre content did not sit too well with my digestive system and with the price being so high I couldn't justify making it a staple in my pantry. If the price was lower, I would happily buy box-fulls of these sweets.

I have enjoyed these products but I do have to say they are not worth the price. I hope SmartSweets is able to make their products more affordable.

I love candy, but am trying to stay away from too much sugar. These are fine, but not my favorite. They get stuck in your teeth like nobody's business. My other issue is that there are too few in each bag. Go ahead and grab these if you're trying to stave off a Candy addiction, but they aren't going to be an exact copy of the candy you want.

Amazing taste! Super for low sugar or sugar-free people.

Super tasty and a healthier alternative to traditional sweet snacks!

Great tasting, perfect texture and impressive macronutrients (only 2g of sugar) for something so delicious!

For candy that is lower in sugar, these taste really good, but are a bit pricey for the amount of product, which is why I gave it one less star.

Several of the packages I have received were already stale

Had smart sweets a few times and enjoyed them! Some are more sticky then the original candy but once you see the nutrition chart it’s worth it

I think SmartSweets is a hit or miss. Some of the flavors are great (like the gummy worms), but some of the other gummys taste like artificial sugar.

Delicious low sugar sweets. I’d love for them to be readily available outside the UK. For now, I just have to settle for getting them when I visit the US!
