Hey sugar, you’ve been kicked out of candy. Smart Sweets is a brand with a mission to ”Kick Sugar, Keep Candy!” You’ll LOVE this lower-sugar candy that tastes like your favorite gummies, and take care of your candy cravings with less sugar. This woman-founded brand makes a healthier version of your favorite gummy candies – twizzlers, swedish fish, sour patch kids, and more.
Founder Tara Bosch started testing out recipes with a gummy bear mould until she perfected the lower-sugar candy. A few years later, Whole Foods picked up the brand. Like all excellent products that solve a common problem, Smart Sweets has grown since and you can find it in more than 20,000 stores. I discovered it in The Fresh Market, then ordered all of the flavors from Thrive Market!
smart sweets review
Usually, diet-y candies taste like the flavor has been sucked out and replaced with a weird, light and chemical-laced sweetener. Smart Sweets, in their fun snd cool packaging, actually taste like candy and not like diet candy. The sweet isn’t overpowering like you’d find with some gummies, and definitely will satisfy your sweet tooth.
