Australian confectionery company, Double ‘D’ Sweets has added a low sugar gummy product to their range made with fibre and sweetened with stevia.

Double ‘D’ Sweets has been part of the Australian confectionery landscape for over 100 years, manufacturing in Australia and operating out of two sites in Sydney.

After four years of product development and research, Smart Sweets was launched earlier this year, ranging products with just 2g of sugar, 15g of fibre and less than 60 calories per 35g bag.

Managing director Justin Hughes said that with improvements in ingredients, it became apparent that there was a way to make a low sugar treat made with low calorie fibre & stevia.

“Smart Sweets have already been popular amongst a really wide variety of consumers including people wanting to cut down sugar but keep candy, parents with young children and people on a fitness journey,” he said.

Smart Sweets is available in Fruits & Cream, Berry and Sour flavours for RRP is $2.70 per 50g packet, $2.00 per 35g packet.

The range is available online and at Coles, Woolworths and IGA.
