I'm so happy I found these. My blood sugar was pretty bad for a couple months after doing a dumb juice cleanse, I was going through blood sugar rollercoasters, so I cut down on sugar and tried to find alternatives such as monk fruit sweetener and stevia. Months later my symptoms have subsided, but I continue to favor these natural alternative sweeteners than sugar. I still try to avoid most candy, but now when I'm craving a handful of sweets I can turn to these bags of sugar-free goodness without the guilt. Tip: they sell them for $2-3 bag at Whole Foods!
I just opened my first of the four bags and it’s almost gone. I tried the sour gummies and they’re delicious! A lot of reviews on here are about the cost but to me, spending $15.00 vs gaining 15 pounds on a candy craving is priceless! I will buy these again. Yummo!
These are SUPER chewy and sticky. If you’ve got crowns or veneers maybe skip these. They’re super tasty and hit the spot when you’re craving a sweet. My favorite is the red fish although that’s the one with the least pieces in it. The sour ones have a sour coating that comes off pretty much as soon as it touches your tongue. It can leave your tongue feeling “burned” from the sour. The sweetener upset my stomach but I felt it was worth it to have a sweet for the first time in months
These are delicious!! Such an amazing substitute for gummies when you’re on Keto. I’m not strict Keto (I have my days, but overall I’m not) so these work for me. Of course, if you eat the whole bag you’re more at risk of knocking yourself out of ketosis. So eat with moderation, I only grab a handful at a time and it doesn’t really do much to my Keto level. And honestly I don’t crave it daily, so it in an air tight container so when I do go back to them they are perfect! The sour buddies are my favorite, then the fish, then sour bears and then regular bears. I wish the bears had better flavors but still overall worth it to me!
No question, these snacks are expensive. Is it worth it for the money? Maybe this review will help you decide.
First on the list, because it is the best in my opinion, is the Sweet Fish: Berry Flavored. The berry flavored Fish are my favorite for a couple of reasons. The look is similar to that of the original Swedish Fish and they taste similar to the original as well. Also, the Fish flavor is the least artificial taste by comparison to the other flavors.
Second on my list would be the Gummy Bears: Fruity Flavored. I have greatly missed gummy bears and this gives me fix without the guilt. The texture and bite is similar is on point with that of original gummy bears by Haribo. The taste of these are lighter than Haribo gummy bears, but the flavor is still good.
On to the next two flavors, Sour Blast Buddies and Gummy Bears: Sour Flavored. The Gummy Bears: Sour pack a punch of semi-coated sour punch for anyone seeking a sour kick. The flavor of sweet shines through after the initial punch. The texture and flavor are again similar to original gummy bears of Haribo.
The Sour Blast Buddies are similar to that of Sour Patch Kids and it seems that is what the creator was going for. The texture and taste is very similar to that of Sour Patch Kids. These have the semi-coated sour punch of the previous bears.
Overall flavor of the last two packs mentioned are more artificial tasting due to the sour coating element of them. However, these do taste good. The first two packs mentioned would certainly be a repurchase, in my opinion, if not for the price. The Fish are the most worth the price and the price point is still too high. Each bag is only 1.8 oz which is 50 g. Not a lot of bang for your buck, however, these are intended to be a snack. For that matter, this amount is fair.

Description
At SmartSweets we've innovated the first candy that kicks sugar-naturally. Our promise to you: free from sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners. Every ingredient we use is non-GMO, always real and never artificial.
Produced on equipment that does not process peanuts, tree nuts, milk, or wheat
Freaking love these. I love all the flavors including the vegan ones. These do not give stomach discomfort because there is no sugar alcohols like other branded sugar free gummies. They did a good job creating these and using nothing but stevia to sweeten, hopefully; they never change their formula. The cost is worth it when doing keto and you want to snack on Gummy’s. These bears make keto life easy.
I first purchased these at Lucky's market and thoroughly enjoyed them but the market in 20 minutes drive from my house so I decided to order them here on Amazon. These little bundles of sweet joy are kept in a container that sit on my desk to curb random cravings I have without the massive spike in sugar as I'm on a lazy keto diet.
I highly recommend this product for those watching what they consume when needing a sweet treat!
The texture of the Swedish fish were spot on...the gummies were fantastic and the sours were sour enough to please my sour candy loving child. I was so happy to come across these as our family gave up sugar in 2018-this will help us when that sweet tooth cravings come.
Delicious, no weird taste, perfect replacement of high sugar gummies
I was pleasantly surprised with these! I was thinking they would taste pretty bland with only 3 grams of sugar compared to the usual candy. It took me until the second bag to get used to the stevia taste, but overall, they’re a perfect alternative to eating sugar loaded candy. They are a little on the expensive side, so I would buy again when I have the chance, not so much to have stocked in my pantry.
