I have to admit, when I see the word ‘candy’ anywhere in close proximity to the phrase ‘good for you’, I think one of two things: either “That’s gonna taste bad” or “No way”.
When Naturally Savvy and Surf Sweets sent me several varieties of Surf Sweets candies to try, I figured, “Okay…it’s candy. I’ll definitely try it.”
When the bags arrived, I read that the Surf Sweets products were natural and organic and they contain no high-fructose corn syrup, are free of artificial flavors or sweeteners, are allergy-friendly, peanut-free, gluten-free and totally drenched in fresh fruit flavor!
The skeptic in me reared its ugly head, tapped me on the shoulder and said, “Hahahahahahaha. Good for you AND tastes good?? Not happening. Hurry! Run go get the Skittles! Save yourself!”
Nope…I was going to try the Surf Sweets. They looked delicious! I love Jelly Beans, so that’s the bag I ripped into first. After I popped the first Jelly Bean into my mouth, I was amazed. The candy has a fresh fruit taste that is delicious, and not sickeningly sweet. Take that, Willie Wonka. 
I ate another, then another, and you can guess what happened from there.
I decided to try the Sour Berry Bears a few days later. As a kid at heart, I love candy, and it doesn’t have to be chocolate. But I do try to limit myself because I’m, ahem, “older” (so they say) and I really should not only be eating healthier myself, but giving healthier options to my family. Oh no. Family. Do I have to share these with the kids???
And talking about health benefits, I was really surprised to learn that you get a full daily requirement of Vitamin C in 
most varieties of Surf Sweets. And trust me, this is way more fun than taking a boring old vitamin C tablet.
Surf Sweets are the perfect candies for your whole family when you need a sweet treat. As with everything, moderation is best. Just because Surf Sweets are a healthier option doesn’t mean that you should sit down and finish a bag in one sitting. But I would definitely encourage you to give them a try. You’ll feel a lot better about giving your family Surf Sweets than other candy options, and your kids will love them!
