(1) 24 Piece Gourmet Fudge Assortment "Christmas Pack" from Zink's Treats of Tucson

We've been neighbors with Zink's Treats at 2nd Saturdays for several months now. Last month we tried a few samples and we were hooked!

Zink's Treats was born as a result of so many, so often, upon tasting my fudge, exclaimed, "Oh Zink!  This is so good you could sell it.!" Not one to ignore a challenge, I began by holding blind taste tests against all the other fudges in town.
Without exception, my fudge won every tasting.

Assured that I had a quality product, I noticed that fudge is only sold by the pound.  No one should eat even a quarter pound of fudge in a single setting, so the remainder gets stashed in the fridge where, by the next day it has absorbed other flavors of the foods surrounding it and it may have dried out around the edges.  Clearly, a couple of problems. So I decided to solve them. I decided to sell my fudge by the piece, not by the  pound and found colorful foil wrappers to seal in the fresh, moist, melt in your mouth quality of my Gourmet Fudge.

Gift boxes was a logical extention and the only was to sell fudge by the piece on line. Zink's Treats are produced in Tucson, Arizona in small batches.  Most is produced to order. Each one ounce (approx.) square is a "Mini-acre of Candy Heaven"  hand wrapped in colorful foil and labeled on the bottom with the flavor and ingredients. Personal attention is given to every order.  Only the freshest ingredients and every "micro batch" is hand-crafted with love.
