Welcome to Sweet Rustler Treats!   NEWS FLASH!  We have been recommended in one of Martha Stewart's magazines!! We were contacted in June by Martha Stewart's Wedding Destinations magazine in New York. They had tasted some of our products and requested samples of all the others. After their taste testing session took place we were picked as ONE OF ONLY THREE "Best of the Best" picks for the state of Arizona! Martha Stewart 50 Ways to Wed  (Follow this link to MarthaStewartWeddings.com, then click through to the 3rd page for Arizona) *************************  Now, back to our story... Hello from beautiful, sunny Tucson, Arizona! My name is Roxanna and I want to personally thank you for taking time to visit my website.  I would also love to hear from you concerning any of your experiences with, and thoughts about, my products.  I especially like to receive suggestions for new flavors! We are actually in the process of revising our flavor selections.  We will still have all of your favorites available to order but our more unique flavors will now be in a special order category.  Watch for that change soon. All of our Arizona Loco Cocoa is available either with sugar or sugar free. Our cocoa is delicious year-round, not just in the winter. It can be made steaming hot in chilly weather or icy cold when it's hot outside (make chocolate milk, smoothies and milkshakes). Our cocoa is also perfect for outdoor enthusiasts (bikers, campers, hunters, etc.). Carry it with you and enjoy cold chocolate milk if the weather is hot or make a cup of hot cocoa in the evening if the night is cold! Our Coffee Gone Loco is also available either with sugar or sugar free. This is a one-step coffee mix unlike anything else in the market place. Everything is included - the coffee, flavor, creamer and sweetener. Besides water, there is nothing else you need to add! Serve our coffees steaming hot or chilled with ice. They are excellent either way! Our sugar free fudge is called Fhantom Fudge. Why? Because it is so good that with just one taste it begins to "magically disappear"! You have never tasted fudge this smooth and creamy before. Our sugar free fudge is sweetened with Splenda, in case you were wondering. Browse through our list of flavors. We are sure you will find the one (or ten) that are just right for you! Over this past summer we added Rainbow Brittle to our product line.  This is a tasty, crunchy sugar free brittle that you just have to have more of once you taste it!  And it doesn't stick in your teeth like traditional brittle - Yippee! The most recent addition to our product line is Sweet! Syrup.  A fabulously tasty sugar free syrup! Use it anywhere you would use other syrups - drizzle it on waffles or pancakes, flavor your coffee or tea with it, mix it with fruit, decorate a dessert plate, top your ice-cream - the possibilities are endless! If you are the owner of a hotel or quaint bed & breakfast please consider including Arizona Loco Cocoa or Coffee Gone Loco as a very special room amenity for your guests. We can even name drop or private label for you! For a special treat check out the local business profile article about us in Inside Tucson Business!  ***************************** OTHER NEWS!  Our cocoa - Arizona Loco Cocoa - made its first red carpet appearance at a very special "cocoa bar" location in Style Hollywood Magazine's Red Carpet Suite in Hollywood! Arizona Loco Cocoa was present in the SHM Red Carpet Suite for both the Golden Globe Awards in January and the Academy Awards in February of 2008!! Packages of Arizona Loco Cocoa were included in all the $10,000 VIP gift bags for both suites! Additionally, special one-of-a-kind gift boxes with 6 packages of flavored cocoa inside were part of the "ultra" gift bags created for attendees of the opening night A-List dinner for the Academy Awards. At the cocoa bar, stars and other celebrities were able to choose from a multitude of cocoa flavors (either with sugar or sugar free) and then made their very own tasty cup of cocoa. All the cocoa was quickly consumed!  ****************************************** If you were wondering if our products really as wonderful as everyone has said - now you know - they are!  Our cocoa was actually chosen over Ghirardelli's cocoa for inclusion in those red carpet suites! Hollywood loves our products - Martha Stewart loves our products - and we're sure you will, too!!

A (Not So Brief) Company History So many people have expressed an interest in how our company started that I decided to insert a brief history here for those of you who would like to know more about us. Thank you for asking! I originally started a company called Roxy’s Gift Boxys because I wanted to have a business that would be more of a family business. I had moved my mother to Tucson from California and I thought having a family-oriented business would provide an opportunity for us to spend more time together. We did some thinking about a family business and decided upon gift baskets with fudge. It sounded like a great combination and seemed easy to do. Little did I know what direction the business would take! In November of 2002 we marketed our baskets to about 10 people and we were overwhelmed with holiday orders. We continued to develop new fudge flavors and eventually I had created more than 40 flavors of fudge (Fhantom Fudge)! We decided to market our Fhantom Fudge under a new company name - Sweet Rustler Treats. Then in May of 2003 my brother made an interesting request. My brother is diabetic and, of course, could never really eat a lot of my fudge because it was made with sugar. After seeing how much I enjoyed creating new products and fudge flavors, he asked if I could try to create some sugar free fudge. Since I had never made any sugar free products before I started out by doing a search on the internet. It didn’t take long to realize that there really wasn’t anything comparable to what I was doing with my fudge. I decided to simply start from scratch and create my own recipe for sugar free fudge. It took six months of research and experimentation to come up with a sugar free fudge that literally tasted better than my sugar fudge! I then began translating as many of my sugar fudge flavors as possible into sugar free fudge flavors. Before long we had more than 50 sugar free flavors! Our sugar free fudge recipe is very unique: it contains no butter so it never requires any refrigeration and has a wonderfully long shelf life. A bonus of the sugar free fudge is that it is also low in carbohydrates. In June of 2004, another sugar free idea was born. I was discussing sugar free products one day with my brother (who is diabetic). He insisted that he had purchased some sugar free cocoa quite recently. I disagreed with him and asked him to go to the store and bring me back samples of the sugar free cocoa. He went out but returned empty-handed. Sure enough, there were no truly sugar free cocoa mixes on the shelves. All of the “no sugar added” products that people think are sugar free actually have 7-8 grams of sugar in every 6-ounce serving! I simply could not understand what could be so difficult about creating sugar free cocoa (and I love a challenge)! It took me only a few weeks of experimentation to perfect our “almost” sugar free cocoa. Our cocoa has only 1 gram of sugar per 6-ounce serving – as close to sugar free as you will find. We started with 8 cocoa flavors and added more every month until we finally had more than 30 flavors to choose from. Our sugar free cocoa was originally marketed under the name Sugar Freedom - a name we still use. In 2007, as our cocoa was growing in popularity, we began discussing changes we could make to update the product and make it even more appealing. Since we are headquartered in Arizona (a place we truly love) it was natural to design with the southwest in mind. We knew we needed an inventive way to convey to everyone just how very different our cocoa product is from anyone else's product. We decided our cocoa was "crazy", or loco, because it was available in so many more flavors than any one else's product, could be served in so many interesting ways and was nutritionally so very versatile. Thus was born Arizona Loco Cocoa! Now my brother (and many other people with diabetes or special needs) can enjoy truly great tasting cocoa (hot or cold) anytime they want! By the end of 2008, so many of our loyal customers had inquired about flavored coffees that I decided it was time to explore the possibility of yet another product. After extensive experimentation and enthusiastic taste testing sessions, Coffee Gone Loco was created. This is loco coffee indeed! Even I did not realize until all was said and done that, once again, I had created a product unlike any other on the market shelves. Make it hot, make it cold, choose from 24 flavors and add nothing else but water. What a delicious treat - and so convenient and easy to make. I know once you try it you will agree.  That brings us to 2010.  Over the summer we were looking for ideas that would not only add value to our product line but also offer products to our customers that would be thought of year-round - not just during the holidays.  And so our sugar free brittle came to be.  The challenge came in making a sugar free brittle that was extremely tasty and yet not sticky - and we succeeded!  Of course, we had to have flavors that were interesting, too.  After all, we are all about flavors! Also over the summer we came to realize that there was a real need in the marlet place for flavorful (and thick) sugar free syrups.  So many of the few sugar free syrups out there have water as there first ingredient - that's not syrup!  So we also developed what we believe to be the best tasting sugar free syrups available.  Taste them for yourself and you be the judge.  We look forward to hearing from you. *******************  I am very proud of our all of products and can't wait to create more new tasty treats for you. Enjoy!!
