Sweets always have a sweet flavour. For example, 和菓子 are sweets. They're not inherently unhealthy.
The definition of snack is something you eat between a meal, so it could be something healthy, like a salad. But in our minds a snack is usually something unhealthy. For example, potato chips.
Sweets can be a snack. For example, if you eat KitKats in between meals, it's a sweet AND a snack. But snacks aren't always sweets. For example, potato chips don't have a sweet flavour, so they are not sweets.
I hope it's not too hard to understand.

Sweets are sugary desserts, treats, or candies. A snack is anything that can be eaten when you're hungry in-between meals, without having to cook. A sweet can be a snack, but a snack isn't always a sweet! Chips are a snack, for example, but *not* sweets.
