With Easter coming up, we can easily envision the day’s festivities: giggles of joy while small feet run around hunting for colored eggs, gathering with family, perhaps partaking in a day of worship or spring-related celebration, and, of course, breaking into baskets of goodies. There’s nothing sweeter for many kids than finding their Easter baskets brimming with candy and goodies.
But even the Easter Bunny can’t sugarcoat the fact that too much is never a good thing. Especially with all the artificial ingredients, preservatives, dyes, chemicals, allergens and more in traditionally-produced candies… it’s tough to get behind the gorging on sweets in the guise of celebration.
Luckily, this Easter (and any celebration from now on), you have a secret weapon. TruSweets provides both TruJoy and Surf Sweets products that are made with completely natural ingredients and a dedication to integrity. With a slogan of “Treat Yourself Better,” you can be sure that they have your family’s needs in mind. And while many natural candy products tend to have a taste that even kids can point out as “healthy,” these goodies are just as delicious as their unnatural counterparts.
For many, jelly beans are an Easter tradition. With Surf Sweets Organic Jelly Beans, your children can still enjoy these yummy treats. Made with organic fruit juices and sweeteners, Surf Sweets Jelly Beans contain 100% of a child’s daily supply of Vitamin C as well as being free from corn syrup, artificial ingredients, casein/dairy, gluten, soy, and the top ten most common allergens. Add to that the fact that they’re the top-rated jelly bean in the natural candy channel and your choice becomes simple!
But TruSweets doesn’t just offer awesome jelly beans. Their Surf Sweets Gummy Bears are also top-rated and contain 100% Vitamin C per serving. With a variety of delicious flavors, these may just be your new favorite. Or, if you happen to have a chocolate lover in your midst, fill their basket with the company’s newest candy, TruJoy Sweets Choco Chews. An organic, vegan, Non GMO Project-Verified, kosher, gluten-free alternative to the popular favorite (you know the one), Choco Chews are the perfect balance of chocolate and chew and will satiate any chocolate craving.
And when Santa season beckons again, you can feel at ease buying TruJoy Sweets Candy Canes. Another organic alternative to the traditional, artificial option, it’s great to read their ingredient list and recognize every word and know they’re each natural and organic. Knowing that you can trim your tree with a delicious, natural alternative means one less thing to worry about.
Even a self-proclaimed natural food devotee has to satisfy his sweet tooth. Dissatisfied with the natural candy choices easily available and at the same time, looking for his next business venture, the founder of Surf Sweets and TruJoy set out on a mission. Call it destiny, really good luck, or maybe sweet serendipity when Bert Cohen, successful entrepreneur and natural foods devotee discovered Surf Sweets, a brand that embodied the active lifestyle and healthy food choices that he valued.
His calling from that time on became clear: to create a candy contradiction with Surf Sweets, a product that was made from all natural ingredients but still full of flavor, and to take this gummy goodness worldwide to children of all ages. That mission continues today with organically sweetened gummy candy and jelly beans full of the fruity flavor that you expect with none of the yucky ingredients you avoid. Anyone can enjoy these candies because they are free of high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors and flavors, and the top ten allergens. As we would assume, it’s incredible how the fresh fruit flavor of the organic fruit juice is revealed when it’s not masked by processed corn syrup and petroleum-based artificial food dyes.
In 2011, the company launched TruJoy Sweets Organic Lollipops, the first item from the TruJoy brand. This brand was created to provide consumers with great tasting organic versions of classic candy favorites. In addition to organic candy canes and Choco Chews, other product offerings include organic fruit chews and heart-shaped lollipops.
A socially responsible company, TruSweets is a proud member of 1% for the Planet. As a member, they donate a minimum of 1% of their product sales (not profits!) to a number of organizations that support environmental causes through 1% for the Planet, including the Rozalia Project, Sustainable Surf, Climate Cycle, and Healthy Child Healthy World.

Knowing that it’s a goal of TruSweets to provide better natural candy options helps make holiday (and everyday) celebrations all the sweeter. Undoubtedly, kids and parents alike will be grateful to have these candies helping to put the fun into Easter this year.
