Shameless Snacks Sour Candy & Fruit Snacks

Finding a candy that actually tastes like candy without packing a massive sugar punch has always felt like an impossible quest. I have a serious sweet tooth, particularly for gummies, but my commitment to keeping my carbs and sugar intake in check usually means I have to pass them up. That all changed when I got my hands on the Shameless Snacks Gummy Candy Variety Pack. Let me tell you, this isn’t just another sad, rubbery diet snack; it is a full-blown candy experience that completely tricks your brain into thinking you are eating the sugar-loaded classics from your childhood. With only 3 grams of sugar and a mere 70 to 90 calories per entire bag, it feels like I’ve discovered a cheat code for my daily nutrition.​The sheer variety in this pack is phenomenal, offering a fantastic balance between sour tang and sweet fruitiness. The Super Sour Blue Raspberry and the Red Raspberry Sour Scouts are absolutely brilliant, delivering a solid sour kick that makes your lips pucker in the best way possible before melting into a sweet, fruity finish. If you lean more towards the sweet side, the So Beary Cherry and OMG Peach are incredibly juicy and have zero sourness, making them the perfect relaxed evening treat. What genuinely surprised me, however, was the texture. Usually, low-sugar gummies suffer from a stiff or overly sticky consistency, but these Shameless Snacks have that perfect, satisfying chew that mimics traditional gelatin-based gummies flawlessly, even though they are completely vegan and plant-based.​As someone who scrutinizes nutrition labels, the macros on these bags are nothing short of impressive. The math behind their keto-friendly claim is incredibly sound: by packing each bag with a massive 26 to 29 grams of dietary fiber and utilizing a moderate amount of sugar alcohols, they manage to bring the net carbs down to just 3 grams for most flavors, and 8 grams for the cherry bears. Not only does this fit perfectly into my dietary goals, but that high fiber content makes a single 50-gram bag genuinely filling. It is rare to find a snack that satisfies a sweet craving while simultaneously helping you hit your daily fiber intake. Plus, knowing they are gluten-free and made with natural flavors and vegetable juice for coloring gives me total peace of mind when sharing them with friends and family.​Ultimately, this Shameless Snacks assortment has earned a permanent spot in my pantry. Whether I need a quick pick-me-up during a long afternoon at the desk, a movie night treat, or something to stash in my travel bag, these hit the mark every single time. It is incredibly liberating to eat an entire bag of candy—truly living up to their “eat like no one’s watching” motto—without an ounce of guilt or a subsequent sugar crash. If you are living a low-carb lifestyle, have dietary restrictions, or just want a much smarter way to indulge your sour gummy worm and fruit snack cravings, I cannot recommend these enough. They have truly revolutionized the way I snack.

These snacks are tasty if perhaps a bit overpriced. Of course, most keto and diabetic-friendly snacks are. While we enjoyed most of the flavors, there were some clear winners.So Beary Cherry: These were our favorites. Very sweet, very cherry, and a nice soft texture, where a lot of the flavors were a bit chewier.Wassup Watermelon: Hard to pick between these and the cherry as my favorite flavor. They were kind of refreshing, and the flavor had a bit of real watermelon to it, not just candy watermelon.Red Raspberry Sour Scouts: A bit odd that this variety pack has two raspberry flavors, but this was by far the better of the two. Sweet and actually just a wee bit sour.Green Apple Blast: These were good green apple candies. Nothing super special, but I would buy them again.OMG Peach: I can’t say much about these as peach isn’t one of my favorite flavors. I gave them to my wife, and she enjoyed them, though she liked the cherry and watermelon better.Super Sour Blue Raspberry: This was by far the most disappointing flavor in the pack. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t sour at all, much less “super sour.” The flavor was a bit faint, and they were also the hardest and chewiest of the bunch. I would eat them if they came in another variety pack, but I wouldn’t choose them if I were picking flavors.Overall, we were very happy. They’re tasty and good for satisfying a diabetic sweet tooth without ramping up blood sugar.

3 stars bc I really appreciate the concept and the option, but really more like 2.5 for taste. With SmartSweets on the market, it just makes more sense to go with SmartSweets, which in my opinion taste much better and have better texture. These flavors taste a little soapy to me, but they also have way too much fiber (not sure why) and it really can upset your stomach. Again, love the option to have healthier sour candy, but for me I’ll continue with SmartSweets going forward.

These taste just like sweet and sour candies that you would purchase at the grocery store or movie theater. Honestly, when buying in bulk the price is comparable to what you would pay for other snacks. However they only have 70 – 90 calories and tons of fiber.This is GREAT if you are on a GLP1 or if you need extra fiber in your diet. But even if you don’t have that need, these are far better for you than any candy I can think of.Even when my weight is under control, I’ll continue to purchase them, as these are that good!

These overall were good! The price isn’t worth it! From the Bundle, I didn’t like 2 flavors but it wasn’t terrible. I won’t buy again unless there is a better Sale! There aren’t that many inside so it’s easy to eat at least 2 bags during the day. If you wanna waste $$ to create the illusion like it will crave the sweet tooth then go ahead! Jeff will Thank You!
