Smart Sweets are one of the hottest products of 2020. For those not familiar with the brand Smart Sweets are a low sugar fiber filled candy which tastes great and packs 81% less sugar than other gummy bears with only 4 grams per bag. They also contain 9 grams of prebiotic fiber per bag, and best of all have a taste and texture almost identical to traditional gummy worms.
Smart Sweets line-up of functional food candies include things like traditional Gummy Bears, Sour Gummy Bears, Peach Rings, Sweet Fish, and most recently prior to the Gummy Worms Sourmelon Bites which were one of my favorites.
We had a chance to get our hands on a pack and gave them a try and overall we were very impressed. Now not that this is that big a deal, but one critique if we had to give one is the Smart Sweets advertisements and product mockups typically show brightly colored gummy candies that look just like the originals. In reality the candies don't look like the mockups, the colors are much more toned down and less vibrant. Now this is likely due to the lack of artificial colors and sweeteners which is a good thing, but it's worth pointing out none the the less.
As far as the texture, with some of the other offerings from Smart Sweets like the Smart Fish, the texture isn't quite the same as the original, same with the gummy bears. The gummy worms on the other hand have an amazing texture pretty much identical to the normal store bought brands of gummy worms.
As far as the taste, the flavors are a bit different than your average gummy worm, there's three flavors per bag including a Raspberry Cherry option, a Pink Lemonade and Peach, and a Strawberry Pineapple. The flavor of these is on point as well.
Overall were big fans, same great tasting gummy candies we love but with 81% less sugar, only 110 calories, and 32% of our daily needed fiber allotment. If you're looking to grab some Halloween Candies that are a bit healthier you can't go wrong with Smart Sweets all new Gummy Worms.
