Earlier this year my sister and I were sent a case of Smart Candy! They certainly sent this to the right house...lol
There were two basic kinds: gummies, and yogurt covered. They were both good, but I preferred the gummies!
The two different gummy flavors we tried were Sour Gummy ( Orange, Cherry, and Lemon), which had a good flavor and I didn't think were too sour, and Sweet Gummy ( Mixed Berry, Grape, and Strawberry). I think this was my favorite flavor out of all of them.
The Sour Gummies |
I found the Smart Candy to be a good alternative to the typical candy I usually snack on (Gummy Bears, Sour Patch Kids, and Gummy Life Savers). The Smart Candy contains Vitamins A, B, and C and do not contain high fructose corn syrup or trans fat. The Gummy ones sort of remind me of the gummy vitamins.
The only thing we both agreed that we did not like was the size. They are so good that one pouch isn't nearly enough. They gummy ones are 90 and 100 calories ( depending on flavor), so that is why the servings are so small, but we both found ourselves eating two pouches at a time.
The other kind we tries were Orange Froot, and Strawberry Froot ( no that is not a typo)

Right now you can purchase Smart Candy online from their site HERE or also on the site you can look to see where you can purchase them in your area. They are said to be in several Wal-marts and some Targets but I haven't seen them in my area yet. When I looked online I did see the Wal-mart in a neighboring town has them. On the Smart Candy website they retail for $3.99 a box.
What is your Go To Candy?
I never really had a sweet tooth as a kid either, but since around 25 that has all changed. I love any kind of jelly sweet and I can't stop at just one.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the chewy gummy type candies except salt water taffy. My go to candy is peanut m and m's and nonpareils made with dark chocolate. My biggest weakness is ice cream....I am an addict!
ReplyDeleteThese sounds tasty! I'm always on the lookout for healthier candy...(that sounds funny)! Gummy/fruity candy is a weakness of mine so I'll definitely look for these! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge candy fan. But give me some vitamin infused chocolate and I'm all about that : )
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny... I never had much of a sweet tooth as a kid but I've definitely got one now. And gummy candies are my favorite. I'll have to look for these at Target.
ReplyDeleteGummies are definitely my go-to candy! I can't get enough :)
ReplyDeletethose look good! I am a HUGE jelly belly fan, shhhh I have a bag in my desk drawer :)
ReplyDeleteNature Box has a carrot/mango gummy that I LOVE... its 70 cal a bag for those & its made out of fruit puree... its delish!
ReplyDeleteMy problem with candy is it's so, so good that I can't stop at a small portion too. I wonder if I'd just have the same problem with these, or if the added vitamins and lack of HFCS would help. Either way, you can only improve the current candy market out there...it's getting brutal, ingredient-wise!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look for these for my boys!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think I've gotten the gummy ones in race packets before. They were very tasty.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen those before. The orange looks good!
