Animal x Smarties is official. Three products get the classic candy flavor treatment — Creatine HMB+, Pump Non-Stim, and Creatine Chews — and these are permanent additions, not a flash drop. Same formulas, serious nostalgia.
Animal just teamed up with Smarties for one of the more fitting supplement collabs we’ve seen in a while. Three core products get the Smarties treatment: Animal Creatine HMB+, Animal Pump Non-Stim, and Animal Creatine Chews, all landing in the same recognizable candy flavor that’s been a Halloween staple for generations.
Animal’s Instagram put it simply: “The sweetest set you’ll ever hit.”
This isn’t a limited-time flash drop, either. These are permanent additions to each product’s flavor lineup, so you don’t need to scramble (but you should because Smarties are awesome and highly underrated). If you’re already using any of these products, you know the formulas are great and haven’t changed. The packaging got a shiny nostalgic upgrade and the flavor now comes with a side of childhood memories.
New to any of these products? We’ve got dedicated coverage on all three below. Read on for a quick breakdown of what each one brings to the table, and why the Smarties collab makes a lot more sense than it might initially seem.

Meet Smarties: An American Icon Since 1949
Before diving into the products, a quick word on the candy side of this collab. Smarties aren’t just a random sugar brand. They’re one of the few family-owned mass-production candy companies still operating in the United States.
Edward Dee founded Ce De Candy, Inc. in Bloomfield, New Jersey in 1949, bringing two machines from England and repurposing post-war pellet equipment to press small fruit-flavored sugar tablets. The company has stayed in the Dee family ever since, and is now run by Edward’s granddaughters as co-presidents. When sugar prices spiked in the 1970s, the company switched from sucrose to dextrose, a detail that becomes relevant when you read the Creatine Chews section below.
Today the Smarties Candy Company produces over two billion rolls per year out of factories in Union, New Jersey and Newmarket, Ontario. That’s a lot of pressed candy tablets, and it’s the kind of heritage that pairs well with a brand like Animal.
Now to the three products:
Animal Creatine HMB+ Smarties Edition
The Smarties flavor added to Animal Creatine HMB+ brings the classic candy’s sweet, slightly tart fruit taste to one of the more interesting creatine formulas on the market. It’s a light, refreshing profile that mixes clean and won’t fight you on the way down post-workout.
The Formula at a Glance
For anyone new to the product, Creatine HMB+ pairs 5g of creatine monohydrate with 3g of myHMB (beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate), a metabolite of leucine that helps reduce muscle breakdown and support lean mass retention. Research on the creatine-HMB combination has shown meaningful improvements in both muscle growth and strength gains over creatine alone, with Animal using over twice the HMB dose of the leading competition.
The formula also includes 500mg of electrolytes for hydration and Vitamin D for recovery support. It’s a well-rounded post-workout option, and the Smarties flavor makes it a bit more enjoyable to reach for daily. Mix one scoop in 10 to 12 oz of water, ideally 30 minutes post-workout.

Animal Pump Non-Stim Smarties Edition
Animal Pump Non-Stim is Animal’s stimulant-free pre-workout powder, and the Smarties flavor lands as a clean, candy-sweet option that’s easy on the palate whether you’re training in the morning or late at night. The sweet fruit profile from Smarties works especially well in a non-stim context, where you’re not masking any bitter caffeine notes.
The Formula at a Glance
We’ve covered Animal Pump Non-Stim extensively (linked above and below), but here’s the short version: this formula is built around 6g of L-Citrulline and 1.5g of Nitrosigine for nitric oxide production and muscle fullness, with Nitrosigine’s clinical data showing effects that kick in within 15 minutes and last up to six hours.
The performance side adds 3.2g of beta-alanine and 2.5g of betaine anhydrous for endurance and power output, while 2g of L-tyrosine handles mental focus without caffeine. An electrolyte complex rounds things out for hydration support. It stacks well with a stim-based pre-workout like Animal Primal if you want both sides covered, or it works just fine on its own. Mix one to two scoops in 8 to 12 oz of water, 20 to 30 minutes pre-training.

Available Flavors
Animal Creatine Chews Smarties Edition
Of the three products in this collab, Animal Creatine Chews is the most natural fit for Smarties, and it’s not just the obvious chewable-tablet similarity.
Here’s the connection: Smarties are pressed dextrose tablets. Animal Creatine Chews also use dextrose as a key ingredient (along with AstraGin for absorption). In the 1970s, Smarties made the same switch to dextrose that the supplement industry adopted years later. You’re essentially eating two pressed dextrose tablet products that went through parallel evolutions decades apart. It’s the kind of coincidence that makes a collab feel earned rather than forced.
The flavor itself nails the Smarties experience: sweet, slightly tart, with that distinct candy-wafer finish that hits the nostalgia button. If you’ve ever stood over a Halloween bowl crushing a roll of Smarties, you know exactly what you’re getting here.
The Formula at a Glance
Each serving of Animal Creatine Chews delivers 5g of creatine monohydrate via four chewable tablets, along with sea salt for absorption and AstraGin (a patented extract of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus) to improve creatine uptake and gut absorption. No water needed, no shaker, no powder measuring. Just grab four tablets and go. They work best taken pre or post-workout, and they’re priced as the most accessible entry point in Animal’s creatine lineup.
See more details in our article “Animal Creatine CHEWS: The Best New Way to Take Creatine“. We even get more detailed on the dextrose situation in our article “Muscle Glycogen Reload: Sugar, Dextrose, and Animal Creatine Chews“.

The Smarties Sweet Stack
Animal also bundles all three Smarties Edition products into a single Smarties Sweet Stack on their site. One-time purchase saves 15% when bundling them, and a subscription drops it even further with free shipping, a 90-day money-back guarantee, and 20% off from the third shipment onward. If you’re looking to run creatine, a pre-workout, and an on-the-go creatine option at the same time, this is a clean way to grab everything in one order.
Conclusion: The Sweetest Stack Animal Has Released
Two brands with serious family-owned heritage, both built around pressed tablets, both making dextrose the base of their product — the Animal x Smarties collab has more depth behind it than a typical candy-flavor deal.
Whether you grab the Creatine HMB+ for post-workout recovery, the Pump Non-Stim for stim-free training sessions, or the Creatine Chews for daily grab-and-go convenience, you’re getting the same formulas Animal built their reputation on. The Smarties flavor just makes them a little more fun to take every day, and if you’ve been on the fence about adding creatine to your stack, the Chews are a great place to start.
