False Nutrition Information
I am very disappointed, but I don't even know who to blame. I ordered these because I follow a Keto diet. This listing doesn't have a nutrition photo for each type of candy so I went to the individual listings by SmartSweets. Most pictures showed 5-8 net carbs (carbs less fiber). So, I thought these could be a nice treat. WELL. The nutrition facts are WAY off based on the products I received. I cannot even return them because of the return policy. I'm ticked.The only one that was accurate is the Gummy Bears (35 carbs/28 fiber; 7 net carbs).As pictured numbers are from the SmartSweet individual items Seller's Page//Reality totals are from the packages that I have in front of me.Sweet Fish AS PICTURED: 35 carbs/28 fiber; 7 net carbs //REALITY: 42carbs/22 fiber; 20 net carbs per servingPeach Rings AS PICTURED: 33 carbs/28 fiber; 5 net carbs//REALITY: 42carbs/24 fiber; 18 net carbs per servingSour Blast Buddies AS PICTURED: 36 carbs/28 fiber; 8 net carbs //REALITY: 42carbs/22 fiber; 20 net carbs per servingFor advertising themselves as "keto friendly" they have a long way to go. Some of these are MORE THAN double the net carbs than what was shown. This was false advertising and I'm mad.

This candy is a freakin' punishment.
If you like the bitter sweet not so sweet taste of stevia then go for it. This candy is an abomination of sweets! The flavor is non existent and it leaves a toxic after taste. Yuck! I want my money back. Its a scam, do not fall for the "low sugar". I'd rather enjoy real candy with real sugar. Trust me, in a few months this candy will no longer be trending because it is NASTY!This item is nonrefundable, so go to your local wholefoods if you really have to try it.

Do not buy
Although these sweet treats are often sought after. I would not recommend. I am very much into health and fitness and I would not recommend wasting your cals on this. They have a very bitter after-taste. Just. Don't.

Good, but Pricey
I saw these on a YouTube video and decided to give them a try. I got 4 different flavored 1.8oz bags. There's Peach Rings (Peachi-Os), Sweet Fish (Swedish Fish), Sour Blast Buddies (Sour Patch Kids), and Sour Gummy Bears. They were pretty good but let's break it down:Pro: Taste was pretty good, flavor was very similar to the branded, full sugar versions.Con: Texture was ok but was not very chewy like the full-sugar version. The gummy bears were the only ones that were chewy. The sour versions were not very sour at all and were very light on the sour coating.Pro: 0g fat, 13g fiber, no sugar alcohols, no sorbitol, and only 3g sugar for the whole bag. The serving size is the whole 1.8oz (56g) bag. We compared to a 1.13oz (32g) serving of Sour Patch Kids. So you get almost double the amount for a fraction of the sugar and less than half the calories (Sour Patch Kids has 120 cals and 26g of sugar for 32g vs Smart Sweets 100 cals and 3g sugar for 56g.)Cons: The ingredient list is confusing and makes a claim about an ingredient I've never heard of before, Allulose. That it is a non-artificial sweetener found in foods like raisins and figs that tastes like sugar but doesn't act like sugar in the body. I feel like if that were true more companies would be using it. However, an internet search has almost nothing bad to say about this ingredient and several websites say it can even help to prevent gas and bloating. Another concern is the "isomalto-olgliosaccharides", which is the 3rd ingredient in the list. Another internet search revealed that my suspicion was confirmed, that the saccharide part of the name places it in the sweetener family, however, it is more closely related to sucrose and/or glucose than to saccharine, which was my main concern. However, further research shows that this chemical has been inaccuratly linked to fiber content but that fact was denounced by the FDA in 2018. So while the primary ingredient in these candies is non-soluble corn fiber, some of the 13g of fiber that is supposedly in this product may be inaccurately attributed to the isomalto-olgliosaccharides.Overall, I don't see anything concerning enough to make me not want to eat these. They do seem a bit pricey though. I paid about $13.04 for the four 1.8oz bags, which is $3.26 each. You can buy 8oz of Sour Patch Kids for about $1.88 each in the local stores. So yeah, these are definitely only an occasional treat, at least for me.My favorite was the Sweet Fish followed by the Peach Rings but my son liked the Gummy Bears the best because they didn't get stuck in his braces.

I'm so legitimately disappointed in this purchase. I understand they're not directly made for the vegan/plant-based life, but finding vegan gummy bear and peach ring analogs was incredibly excited. The taste, however, made me regret everything. The packages are tiny (definitely not worth $3 a bag) and the gummy bears aren't even plant based.Very, very displeased. Wish I could get my money back.

Would not buy again
Incredibly expensive for item. I have done low carb in the past and was going to try again so I bought these. Product has a weird taste and very chewy. I will not buy again. I do appreciate trying to have an option that is low sugar with no artificial sweeteners just wished it tasted better.

No thanks!
First of all these are NOT keto friendly, as they claim. Low sugar but very high in net carbs, which I should've known after reading the ingredients list.Second, this candy gets stuck in your teeth like no other. Takes ridiculously long to clean out.Third, the flavor is mediocre at best. The sour gummies are not at all sour and a better description would be more like a dry feeling in your mouth when you eat them. The peach rings barely have flavor, and so on.Not to mention these are expensive for a few small bags of candy.

So good!
I was scared cuz the reviews are all over the place but it's so worth it! I am 35 weeks pregnant and I have gestational diabetes. I am doing it all on my own with no medication so when I want something sweet I'm just screwed. I have been wanting candy for months and couldn't have any till now. It is very good and the price for what you get is also very good! This vegan women owned company did amazing! Thank you!
