The environment, is usually hot and sweaty (especially in the summer, it’s very rare that a kitchen has air conditioning) the work is tiring, long, and brutal with lots of lifting and manual labor. You’re coworkers are the ones who can make it or break it for you. If management is awesome, and your coworkers are great, and your doing the work because you like doing it, then the rest of the tiring stuff makes it worth it. Idk if I’d call it “the best” because some days in a kitchen are still trying. But definitely all the other stuff makes it easier!
You guys should test covering the peanut butter creams in the ruby chocolate since the ruby chocolate has a kind of berry flavor to it. See if it tastes like peanut butter and jelly. Just an idea.
I have been here lurking since the start, and man your filming skills and editing skills are making the videos so interesting and give it a nice change of pace. GJ :) wish I lived in the USA so I could buy some goodies
When you're making a recipe that calls for an entire jar of pb, you can leave the jar in a bowl of hot tap water for a while to make it runny and easier to get it all out
It’s hard to say but I’m looking forward to trying the assorted chocolates. My partner is bringing my order to the UK from a work trip, hoping he doesn’t eat any on the way!
LOL! Craig, I’m 72 years old and MY mother always told me if I didn’t stop making faces my face would freeze that way! 😝😂🤣 I wonder how long that has been a parental threat? 🥰. Love you guys and the entertaining videos. 👍
Craig, you are a wonderful videographer, keep it up. So soothing to watch all of you at Hercules, just good people, love you. I am now finishing up my first Hercules order, pacing myself, it taste so much better than you can imagine.
I clicked on this video having no clue it was an hour long, didn’t even notice until after I watched it and it’s past midnight now 😂😂 well worth the time
Happy Wednesday. The editing is amazing once again. I love when creams are being made. It’s so relaxing. I use to wonder the same thing Max with the “E” thing. E for excellent, S for satisfied U for unsatisfactory. This video is gets an EE. Extra excellent.
I’ve been watching these videos for a long time and I have to say I really appreciate the growth in the editing and assembly of the videos over time. It’s enough of each step to see what happens without anything ever dragging. 👍👍
Wow the peanut butter middle stirring is so tranquil to watch. You people are the best......from basement to building.......I am tearing up now. You have no idea how much watching your videos has saved me since july of 2019. Thank you so much........😊💞😊
Greg from Lofty Pursuits?! I grew up in Tallahassee and when I moved away last summer, LP was one of the last places I visited. THE best handmade candies.
Boot and bonnet of the car, instead of trunk and hood. Yup. Bin is the garbage. I get into trouble when I ask 'how did you get on?', meaning 'how did it go?', 'how did you get along with that... thing that you did?' lol
I holler everytime max gets in his dropping stance 😂😂😂 oh i love it... Craig ur little news bit at the break table was pretty darn funny too lol... Nice to see ya guys!
You wonderful/Mean man. I am trying to lose wait and those peanut butter creams are making it so hard to stay on my diet. Love the video and just subscribed. Have a great and prosperous Easter!!!!
I don't know what it is, but something about the sound of the form plate pressing into the corn starch is immensely satisfying to me. Love all your videos! Thanks for being amazing!
I have been watching you guys since the very beginning. It is so amazing to think back on where yall started and where you are now. Im so happy to see the evolution and to see your family doing so well. Best wishes from Chattanooga, TN. 😊
Got my order yesterday....Cookie Bark, peanut brittle, lemonade candy, and chocolate pretzels!! Everything was amazing!! Keep up the good work...I love watching you guys make candy..its so relaxing
Love watching u guys. Always want to put in an order. Just fyi watching u try to dig out all the peanut butter, when u get down low u can microwave for just a minute or so and it will pour out. Thought ud like to try it.
25:51 also, starch flying around is *EXTREMELY* flammable and there have even been factories that have exploded because of a spark in a room full of flour/starch dust. So, if you ever had a hot plate in there, *DEFINITELY* nothing that has flames or can cause sparks.
Random commenters: why don't you put a hot plate in the starch room? Me: a source of heat and potential ignition source in a starch room?!?! Ya want an explosion???
One way to keep an eye on a conveyor belt I've seen was to mount a mirror at an angle towards it so at a glance you could tell what it was doing especially from the opposite end.
Hello - another great video! I am now subscribed and already looking forward to the next one. I love you guys! Max is awesome! I love hearing all the chat between you all during the videos especially all the school memories. Really want to order some yummy creams soon. Xxx
I remember watching you guys make candy in the basement ❤️ I’m so proud of all of you as a family.. you guys have came so far.. and I will always love this channel 🙃🙂
You could add a layer of marshmallow cream. I don't know if anyone else has ever had that on a peanut butter sandwich, but it is awesome. Also, you could use slightly less of the peanut cream filling and make up the difference by heating up Nutella and then injecting each egg with a delicious center. Or you could inject a fruit gel for a PB&J feel. It would take longer, but you could crumble up some pretzels and do the cream in two layers and sprinkle the pretzel bits in between.
The peanut butter cream eggs look delicious! Nice that you keep tweaking certain candy recipes to improve the flavors! Max is doing a fine job! Will probably put in an order soon for Easter! Nice to see Karen. Great video, Craig and Dylan! That ending breaking news snippet! 🤣🤣🤣
Oooh, know something you guys could try . . . Irish Potato Candy. Just 1 avg-lg potato, 8+ cups confectioner's sugar (mix in sugar with the tater slowly until it becomes like a dough), roll out with a pin, spread the PB over it, then roll it up before cutting into sections (like a cinnamon roll) and serve. Great stuff.
I just ordered hard candy and the spice hard candy a couple days ago and it came in today! I’m in love! I’m disappointed that I found y’all a year ago and it took me this long to buy y’all’s candy. I’m definitely gonna be placing another order with my next paycheck 😂❤️ 10/10 Y’all keep up the great work!!!
Love these videos! Max and Craig have the most amazing yet simple conversations 😄 nothing crazy but funny and super interesting... could watch these all day 🤩 Hi Steve! 🙋🏻♀️ (Just sitting’ at the workstation, just makin’ stuff 😁)
"Is this for your little UA-cam" LOL
Typical mom comment, gotta love her.
Lmao yeah
“Little” yet nearly 1 million subs
That cracked me up!!!!
The absolute best work environment ever. Hands down.
I can agree with that
The environment, is usually hot and sweaty (especially in the summer, it’s very rare that a kitchen has air conditioning) the work is tiring, long, and brutal with lots of lifting and manual labor. You’re coworkers are the ones who can make it or break it for you.

Idk if I’d call it “the best” because some days in a kitchen are still trying. But definitely all the other stuff makes it easier!
@@Kieorasama the good definitely outweighs the bad and as you so rightly say co-workers make the bad days a little easier
Yes it is or at lest seems like it
I wish i worked there. Id down grade my budget to work here.
You guys should test covering the peanut butter creams in the ruby chocolate since the ruby chocolate has a kind of berry flavor to it. See if it tastes like peanut butter and jelly. Just an idea.
WOW oh YES
YYYEEESSSSS!!!!
Vhhghhhgvbbbjh
I'd definitely want some of these! Lol
@@bobbyc1983 Right lol
The care and dedication Karen gives each candy she wraps is amazing.
Your little news break was adorable. I love your mom. And your description as "former child". Lol
Well that was probably the most satisfying intro ever.
I have been here lurking since the start, and man your filming skills and editing skills are making the videos so interesting and give it a nice change of pace. GJ :) wish I lived in the USA so I could buy some goodies
Thanks so much, I wish you could order too! 😭
Here's one more, would've ordered so much goodies for easter if I only could..
The best edit ever was some toy car “drone footage” on the way to some festival Hahahaha I literally died.,

I was thinking why dont they warm it also... very slightly to make it slide out.
@@crazycatlady19691 maybe an extra step not worth the time? idk
@@heyitsLOOOU less than 1 minute of advanced prep to save many minutes later
The news segment was sublime.
haha why thank you Johan
The “former child” title was priceless 😂
Made my first order and included one of these, nice to see it being made!
Ohhh do you have a favorite item from your order?
It’s hard to say but I’m looking forward to trying the assorted chocolates. My partner is bringing my order to the UK from a work trip, hoping he doesn’t eat any on the way!
@@graemethatsme The ultimate test of one's relationship 😂
LOL! Craig, I’m 72 years old and MY mother always told me if I didn’t stop making faces my face would freeze that way! 😝😂🤣 I wonder how long that has been a parental threat? 🥰. Love you guys and the entertaining videos. 👍
You should put a thin layer of the marshmallow filling in the peanut butter part and call them "Fluffernutter Eggs". Yum!
So excited to see creams! And the editing is off the charts! Keep it up Craig and Dylan
Thanks Carol!
The handprints left in the corn syrup when it goes into the kettle are nifty.
Very satisfying
This must be the most satisfying job ever. Y’all work so hard but it never really seems like you are.
Craig, you are a wonderful videographer, keep it up. So soothing to watch all of you at Hercules, just good people, love you. I am now finishing up my first Hercules order, pacing myself, it taste so much better than you can imagine.
Who else thinks it's satisfying when they scoop the corn syrup?😅😅
They look like silicone breast implants
Idk why but the tiny one he did was satisfying to me
Yeah they look like alien brains
Favourite part
The most calmest family I know. Especially working together. Goal for sure.
Wow how lovely, greetings from Edinburgh Scotland 🏴
Wow peanut butter cream eggs!
Craig and Max together is the best. THE NEWS breaks was hilarious, The Gumby tie on the former child!🤣
That intro was fantastic!
I clicked on this video having no clue it was an hour long, didn’t even notice until after I watched it and it’s past midnight now 😂😂 well worth the time
Shite i only saw now that's it's an hr long. Thanx 😂😂 i need to sleep
Craig: " Look how close to the edge it gets"
Max: " Yeah...me too!"
Don't think we've ever seen Max go over the edge.
Happy Wednesday. The editing is amazing once again. I love when creams are being made. It’s so relaxing. I use to wonder the same thing Max with the “E” thing. E for excellent, S for satisfied U for unsatisfactory. This video is gets an EE. Extra excellent.
Wow, thank Ms. Jays for such a good grade!
The wrapping sequence is my favorite not gonna lie. Her voice is so soothing lol
I’ve been watching these videos for a long time and I have to say I really appreciate the growth in the editing and assembly of the videos over time. It’s enough of each step to see what happens without anything ever dragging. 👍👍
Coming up on a full year of watching your vids, love every one of them!
It's so amazing that candy is still made by hand. Part of the process is very similar to the way I was taught by my mother. Thank you for sharing.
Wow the peanut butter middle stirring is so tranquil to watch. You people are the best......from basement to building.......I am tearing up now. You have no idea how much watching your videos has saved me since july of 2019. Thank you so much........😊💞😊
I never get tired of watching the candy making process. I am happy you went with the peanut butter cremes
I haven't tuned into a vid for a moment, maybe like 4-5months, and this production quality on the intro is insane! Super pleasant to watch
Why thank you!
@@HerculesCandy thank you as well of course :) thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing
I just ordered a bunch of candy and these are one of the things I ordered...I can't wait!
Greg from Lofty Pursuits?! I grew up in Tallahassee and when I moved away last summer, LP was one of the last places I visited. THE best handmade candies.
Hot plate in the starch room is probably a risk for a dust explosion also.
Watching the cream come out of the creamer machine is beyond satisfying. I rewatch all the cream making content over and over lol
Stay tuned for more cream Easter egg videos coming soon!

I love watching your channel. I'm sure we will take a road trip out there real soon. Can't wait.
I hope you can soon too!
the fact that everything is made with so much effort and love is honestly so beautiful and gives me more hope in humanity.
Love the DIY enrober repairs, creative thinking is priceless. Craig, your hair looks great, let it grow!
I don't know what it is, but something about the sound of the form plate pressing into the corn starch is immensely satisfying to me. Love all your videos! Thanks for being amazing!
Oh my goodness the chocolate peanut butter eggs look fantastic.
Best candy I have eaten. I will be ordering from you forever!
@48:24
Candy Lady: But nobody eats that big an egg anymore
Me: Hold my milk

As soon as I’ve moved I’m ordering off you don’t care about the postage 🇬🇧
Another great video x
Love the breaking news skit..really funny ..especially the Mom part. Love the videos too. We have been watching Hercules Candy for awhile
YALL DID MY MOM REALLY COME ON MY ACCOUNT TO COMMENT SINCE SHE CANT DO IT ON THE TV WTF SHE TOOK MY PHONE TO TO DO SO😭🤚
Why is this stuff so satisfying! Like every time I watch it, I love the jokes they tell, and I get mesmerized in what is going on.
The amount of love and work going into each candy is amazing. Keep up the good job.
Jif Peanut butter also comes wholesale in 4lb metal cans, and 35 lb plastic buckets
Where do you get the 35 lb buckets? I get the 4 lb ones but never seen a larger container!
It’s not a Hercules candy video without Max making sounds as he lifts the kettle 🙂
BEST INTRO EVERRRRR!! I love asmr videos and I like how you did the sounds and the angles
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
thanks for this ... move to England plees .... stay safe sweet people...x
I’ve been enjoying these videos since 2017!!
Hahaha, that news segment had me creased with laughter. I love the dynamic of the workplace and the family banter.
Got my order yesterday....Cookie Bark, peanut brittle, lemonade candy, and chocolate pretzels!! Everything was amazing!! Keep up the good work...I love watching you guys make candy..its so relaxing
His ability to multitask is AMAZING. And those peanut butter eggs look DELICIOUS!
You and your mom with the green screen was funny! Definitely subbed!

Yeeeessss!! Corn Starch will not only burn, it explodes violently.
Once I caught my boys trying to cause a flour explosion in a 5 gallon bucket. Fortunately, I caught them before they had figured out all the details
One way to keep an eye on a conveyor belt I've seen was to mount a mirror at an angle towards it so at a glance you could tell what it was doing especially from the opposite end.
The peanut butter marshmallow creams are the best!
Whey! Im from Yorkshire in England and we do say bin! Hahaha, Yeah! Its in't boot! do yous call it a trunk? love these vids :)
I'm also from Yorkshire, England.
Im glad you guys don't do the edits all the time, but it does make the occasional video a lot more fun to watch!
I’m watching in Melbourne Australia at 6:20 AM before working from home and it’s been the perfect start to my day!
The editing has been top notch. Loved the audio at 12:25 - back cracking - 😂
That looks so good. Easter is right around the corner.

He is the best candy man ever! Would never have any issues eating any candy 🍭 he makes!
Glad to see you're using Jiff peanut butter. It's the only peanut butter I use when I make Buckeyes and peanut butter cups at Christmas time.
Been watching for 2 years now and I just am amazed how much I learned and would love to be in this field of work!!!
I love the news segment. It should be a regular thing!
I love the news flash, very creative. Love you guys. Cheers from the pacific northwest (Canada).
Every time I am about to go to sleep I watch these videos and fall asleep 10x faster because they are so relaxing

I love and appreciate the beginning cut of the entire process in short, a compilation or playlist of those would be cool!
Loved loved loved the news, I am indeed subscribed, loving the hair Craig 😉
Thank you and thank you Lesley!
Cute ad in the middle! I love how your mom moved the green screen!🤣

Thanks Jane! I'm glad you liked the video and I hope you get to enjoy the candy!

I can smell this candy through the screen. Peanut butter eggs are my absolute favorite.
