SmartSweets Variety Pack, Low Sugar Gummy Candy, 1.8oz Bags, 8 Pack

I used to truly be addicted to candy, like I would run to the store to get my gummy sugar sour patch fix 10 minutes away when cravings hit. I found these at local retailers and gave them a try. My first and favorite was the peach rings. I still absolutely love them. They're all so good. They taste really true to the candy they're supposed to replicate. The Swedish Fish are delicious, my boyfriend says they do stick to his teeth a little bit but I don't find an issue with it I just pick the pieces out of my teeth with my tongue when I'm done. Not that big of a deal. This will be my fourth time ordering a variety pack from here on Amazon and they always arrive soft and fresh. I went with a different variety this time to switch it up but I'll definitely be ordering every two weeks. The price point may seem high, but it is cheaper than in the store. Also cheaper than putting sugars, dyes, and toxins into my body in the long run. I highly recommend this candy brand and my dentist is happy it exists as well. I was absolutely shocked to see they only had a 3.9 review so I had to come and share my experience. I have not been persuaded or paid to write this. Enjoy all!

Candy, by definition, features sugar as a principal component. Ask any confectioner about "sugar free candy" and you will be laughed out of the kitchen. Reviews that compare the taste and texture to *candy* will inevitably end with disappointment: our bodies love sugar, and reward us taste when we eat energy dense foods. SmartSweets are not candy; they are part of a novel food category trying to remind us of, or mimic, the taste of candy in a nutritionally inoffensive profile. They taste good for what they are, with fruity flavors, sourness/tang, and chew that gets all over and sticks to your teeth. I love them. They stop me from buying and reaching for worse things, and pack a nice fibre boost along with the craving suppression. Go for these, but adjust your expectations!

The BEST! I won’t eat any other candy! The watermelon and peach are my favorite! However, I wish all the sour patch kid candy look alikes were red, blue, or orange flavor. The green flavor has a gross aftertaste and the yellow is so tart that it’s bitter.

sooooooooooooooo yummy

They were okay and are a good substitute if you’re trying to cut back on sugar. I don’t think I would order again however. The gummy’s are kinda hard and the fish onces taste like cough medicine. The candies are good enough to finish eating them but not sure I would buy again.

The taste and texture is a far cry from traditional gummy candies. Unlike your typical Haribo, where every bite cuts the gummy into distinct smaller pieces, this gummy ends up turning into a melted sticky mess in your mouth, sticking on my teeth like hot tar on concrete. So along with the poor flavor and gritty texture, it's also a very unpleasant eating experience.

These things are awesome. They definitely aren’t as great as stupid sweets, but they are a great replacement for the unhealthier things I can’t eat any more. The high fiber content also makes them great as a supplement. I would love it if they were less expensive, but I feel the price is fair. They are only available sporadically in grocery stores where I live, so being able to order them here is awesome, too.

While theres a bit too many spur candies in this variety pack, I still love this as a substitute for normal candy. It gives excellent portions for me to eat over a couple hours. The candy is sweet enough to sate your sweet tooth, but not leave you craving more. Ive used this candy to help shake my sugar addiction and ordered it quite a few times now! Highly recommend!
