SmartSweets reviews and discussion

A sweet and/or sour treat to fill that craving of yours! Such an amazing alternative to candies that are filled with lots of sugar and additives. I could not recommend this brand enough :)

I like the idea of the brand a lot and the packaging is so cute and fun. It's a market needed by many for health and/or lifestyle reasons but it just misses the mark for me. I've tried the rings and worms and the surface texture is extremely offputting and they stick to your teeth so much. They're not chewy, they're sticky. I'm not even sensitive to texture like that but it was just not pleasurable at all. I actually threw them away after coming back to them over the course of a few days and feeling the same way. But overall I can appreciate how this company makes sweets accessible for people who need a low-sugar or plant-based alternative.

The packaging is super Cute and it is convenient that you can buy it at some grocery stores. The flavor was pretty good I tried a regular gummy bear and a sour gummy but texture wise they were a little less soft than normal gummy candy. Overall it was a relatively good substitute for being healthier but it didn’t 100% fulfill my want for a gummy

The flavor is artificial tasting to me. I tried the cola gummies, the peach rings and the red twists, maybe the hard candy is better but the chewy ones have a strange and unpleasant taste. The texture is great though. I will say a friend of mine likes them and recommended this brand to me.

I've tried sour melon bites, fruit gummy bears, and gummy worms and have enjoyed all of them. I think that the product that you get is really great, but the price can be hard to justify at times.

I love what the brand stands for, the product is simple and direct. The taste I think could be improved to not be quite as artificial...but it does serve the right purpose!

Love several of their different candies! Love that this brand is lower in sugars and still has great taste!

I really like these as an alternative to the super sugary candy you’d find at the store but I wish the packages was slightly larger.

I love the idea of being able to pick up a pack of candy in an impulsive sweet-tooth moment, without feeling guilty about it after. The packaging is cute and stands out on the shelf. It's amazing to have parallels for so many of my favorite candies.

The packaging was on point, looked great and completely sold me on a low calorie no sugar clone of sour patch kids. Ugh, very disappointed in the lack of sweetness to these. I've had no sugar products before and most of the time they're too sweet.

healthier alternative to regular candy, but the texture is off for me

I did like it alot. Gummies were good with minimal sugar. Taste was not artificial at all.

I enjoy gummy candies of all kinds. This candy definitely has more of a sticky chew to it. I have tried the Swedish fish, sour patch kids, and peach rings. They’re not bad, and for only 2 grams of sugar per serving, they’re worth buying. Not replacing the real deal by any means.

The take on swedish fish is delicious and the packaging is super sturdy which has helped as I personally throw these in my pack for long runs.

I was super excited to try our smart sweets. I have quite the sweet tooth and often crave a sweet after a meal.

I like the candy without all the sugar on it

These sweet and sour treats are my go-to when I need a little indulgence. I love that they are plant-based and vegan-friendly. It's also a good feeling to support a female-owned business. A great treat with a sweet vibe!

I started ordering Smart Sweets when I was on the Keto diet as a way to curb sugar cravings - I really like the Swedish Fish and the Licorice flavors. However, I wasn't a big fan of the sour varieties or gummy bears. I do think these taste pretty good on their own as a replacement to candy - but they are not a 1:1 substitute, given that they are much less sugary and artificially flavored. I enjoy the taste though, and they don't give the fake sugar aftertaste that many other brands have.

I love candy, must have eaten millions of them. This smart sweet is the worst candy I ever tasted. It tastes like plastic with sour powder on it. I put some in my mouth, and spit all of it out in the parking lot. It's horrible, never eat it. Get the hershey's and reeces cups with stevia instead of this garbage.

I've tried so many flavors but it still does not do it for me. Watermelon ones have an unpleasant aftertaste.
