SmartSweets Fresh & Fruity Variety Pack, 1.8oz (Pack of 8), Low Sugar & Low Calorie, Healthy Snacks for Children & Adults - Gummy Worms, Red Twists, Fruity Gummy Bears, Cola Gummies

I have had a sweet tooth since I can remember. The sugar is really bad for me, so I have been slowly trying to eliminate sugar from my diet. I just can't do away with candy! So I found this brand a few months ago. This is a great set. While it's not exactly like the gummies I used to eat, it's a GREAT alternative, and certainly the best I have tasted. Much healthier. While it's a little more expensive than I would like, it is still a great product and value for what I am looking for.I totally recommend it!

Too expensive for the quantity/quality, and bagged oddly.It's tasty candy, but not *that* tasty. the calorie counts are high for "kicking the sugar" candy. The serving sizes seem reasonable, but the bags are way too big for the amount included. You could easily fit 4-6 more servings into the same bag.My recommendation: Don't buy the combo packs - just get the cola bottles... or save your money and get typical gummi bears.All the expiration dates are from Oct and Dec 2022 (ordered April 2022).First mixed setThe sourmelon bites are tiny! I was expecting something near the length of my finger, not something a little bigger than a gummy bear. The color doesn't match the packaging - it's a dull orange, with a slightly yellower rim. It is unevenly covered with a white substance. Most of mine were stuck together, and were moderately difficult to separate. (You can fit the whole clump in your mouth - so not really a problem.) 26 bites = 100 calories (1 bag) The flavor? It's sour, but not overly so. It's only vaguely like watermelon - more a generic candy flavor.The Sweet Fish are a good size, but they're sticky! They're a bit translucent too. The texture is firm, but I've had firmer swedish fish. The flavor is awful - not cherry - like gelatin with a hint of chemicals. I rarely throw out candy - hey, it's sugar after all - but I could only stomach two of these. 10 fish = 100 calories (one bag)The Sour Blast Buddies are about the size of a gummi bear. They come in four colors - yellow, orange, red, and green - and have a little of the white powder that the Sourmelon Bites have. Notice that I say "colors", not "flavors". They all have the same mildly sour, somewhat citrusy taste - though the red ones have less flavor, which I would have been surprised is possible, if I hadn't had the Fish first. 8 r29 buddies = 100 calories (one bag)The Peach Rings are a decent size. I've seen bigger rings, but this seems to be the biggest of all the Sweet Smart candies. Some were stuck together, and wouldn't separate. The coloring matches the package, except there's more of the mystery white powder that was on the two sour candies. Their a good firmness, but the flavor is faint. It's peach-ish. I don't know that I'll finish these - they're just very uninspiring. 12.5 Rings = 100 calories (one bag)Second mixed setThe cola bottles are sweet, but don't taste anything like cola. These are my favorite. 20 bottles = 100 calories (one bag)The gummi bears are firmer than the cola bottles. they are sweet, and don't have much flavor. 27 bears = 110 calories (one bag)The red straws (licorice) are firm - weird flavor - doesn't taste red, licorice, or twislers. 11 straws = 110 calories (one bag)Gummi worms smell wonderful. However, that doesn't flow into the flavor. They taste like something, but not sure what... a little peach at times? 13 worms = 110 calories (one bag)

Great for sugar sub but hard to digest, for me but the flavors are gre8t.

Although I tend to be a gummy, licorice type fiend, these flavors are not as yummy as I had expected, and I won’t be purchasing this selection, again. I do love the lack of bad sugar and the whole idea of the women led company which I think is fabulous, and I will support them by buying individual bags here and there.

So they are a little pricey for such a relatively small amount of candy, but I am trying to make healthier choices in regards to sugar and these hit the spot. My favorites are the red twists, but I enjoy them all.

I was excited about these because sugar alcohols in most sugar-free candies give me gas, to put it politely. I thought the price would be worth it, as they emphasize on the package they contain no sugar alcohols. However, after eating just a few of these, I experienced the same symptoms. After looking it up, I discovered allulose can also give you gas. It's not false advertising, but I feel it's misleading, because many people buying the product are doing so to avoid the effects of sugar alcohols, and you'll get them anyway.

I haven’t found a flavor that I don’t love yet. Being a gluten-free person I had not been able to eat red licorice for years so that one definitely is close to the top of my list. Swedish fish are my favorite candy ever so finding a low sugar replacement is a dream come true for those too. And, the sour watermelon!!!!! Can’t get enough! Some people have written reviews complaining about the chewiness of certain varieties of this brand but I find that to be just an occasional issue so I’m wondering if it’s how the seller stores them or how fresh the packets are. For me, it’s not so much of an issue because I care most about having low sugar substitute sweetened with Stevia or Monk fruit instead of the other junk.

I loved the three flavors. I did not like the red twists. They tasted like plastic. They are pricey for what you get.

Okay, these aren't awful but the textures and flavours are just off. The have a weird film over them. Just don't bother
