SmartSweets Caramel Candies, 1.6oz (Pack of 12), Creamy Candy with Low Sugar (1g), Low Calorie (140), Plant Based, Gluten Free, No Artificial Colors or Sweeteners, Healthy Snack for Kids & Adults

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I discovered these in a multi-pack with a bunch of other Smart Sweets and really I mostly wanted the sours but now I'm addicted to the caramels. They are made with coconut sugar and are just the right amount of sweet. I picked up a regular caramel the other day at the drugstore and it was just way too sweet. These are the ultimate clean guilt-free candy.

Slightly weird flavor but I love them. Hard to find dairy free gluten free candies and these are one of my favorites.

I've been on an artificial dye free, lower sugar content kick and these come in handy for my sweet tooth. I love the taste of these. It is more expensive than some of my old options but the fact that they taste good with lower sugar content and are free of those artificial dyes make me feel better about the price. I also don't have to eat as much to satisfy my sweet cravings. The smaller bags end up lasting longer for me because of that. I really enjoy that they are so yummy and give me that sour + sweet craving that I am longing for without me having to resort to options that are higher in both calories and sugar. These are my favorite by the brand!

I used to eat a bag of these every night after dinner. They were pricey, but for me it was worth it because they were a healthier alternative to the real fish and satisfied my sweet tooth. I ordered them by the box on Amazon often and purchased a weekly supply every time I was the grocery store just so I wouldn’t run out.The “new and improved” version is absolutely garbage. I emailed the company to ask why they made the change and received an answer about extensive research and testing (eye roll). They are hard, sour, sticky and have a foul chemical aftertaste. The new fish shape is cuter, however. I’ll give them credit for that - but I’d take the old shape back any day to have the old formula back. Kind of wondering if they got a cease and desist from the real fish maker.I got curious and filtered the reviews to most recent to see if anyone else felt the same or if I was alone and truly missing the mark on the “new and improved” version.It’s slightly comforting to see I’m not alone. I think I’ll send a follow up email to the company to see if they’ve noticed how many people are unhappy with the change. Maybe they’ll go back to the “old and unimproved” version!Until then, I’ve switched to the Lily’s brand gummy bears. I don’t like them as much, but they are better than Smart Sweets bears and my beloved are now inedible.

I’m a candy addict, I’ve loved all sweets since I was a kid. I eat a little candy almost every evening, and I was trying to replace that with these Smart Sweets. Here’s my review for the flavors I’ve had so far:Watermelons: The texture is kinda odd and the flavor seems chemically, even moreso than actual candy. The price certainly does not entice me to give these ones another try.Swedish Fish: I actually liked these! They stick to your teeth reeeeally badly so don’t eat if you have teeth issues, but they are very flavorful and sweet.Fruity Gummy Bears: Not good. Not sweet at all, no flavor. Rubbery, feel like I’m chewing on a non-food item. I’ll never get these again.Sour Blast Buddies: My all-time favorite! I’ve ordered about 5-6 boxes of these over the last few months, I actually really like them. They’re really sour, which helps me not over-indulge on them because my cheeks can’t handle more than one pack per night lol. Best flavor in my opinion!

SmartSweets Cinnamon Bears are absolutely delicious! I love the flavor and appreciate the healthier ingredients. My only downside is that they’re a bit pricey and not always easy to find in stores—but they’re definitely worth it when I can get my hands on them!”

I bought the Cinnamon gummy bears...they start with a weird sweet taste and then the Cinnamon kicks in...its WAY TO STRONG...it almost has a burning sensation to it. very bummed as I really enjoyed the Gummy fish and licorice
