  • We Made Our Most SOUR Candy Yet! And we didn't even add any more citric or malic acid than usual! Our theory is that with ribbon candy there's more surface area than traditional hard candy for the citric and malic acid to hit your tongue. So you get more sour in every bite.

    💑 About Hercules Candy
    Hercules Candy has been on Steve’s side of the family since 1910(ish). When he took over in the 70’s, he anticipated after 10 years of hard work, he could move the business out of the basement and into a real storefront. Unfortunately, it took until 2018 for that to happen, but hey at least it happened! Steve and Terry own the shop, Craig (the social media manager) is their son, Cara (wrapper and shipper extraordinaire who is poised to take over the shop one day) is their daughter and Leah (who doesn’t love being on camera and is very elusive) is their oldest daughter. Karen has been working for Hercules Candy since the twins (Craig and Cara) were about 6 months old and everybody else is a new recruit. Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the 🔔 for more videos!

    New candy idea that's either brilliant or crazy, maybe both.
    Coffee ribbon candy filled with any of the following:
    Caramel
    Vanilla cream
    Chocolate
    Nutella
    Marshmallow fluff
    Raspberry cream
    Irish cream
    Than if you did a few different filled ones you could take the beginning and end pieces that aren't filled and make a mocha almond chocolate bark.

      They aren't allowed to film in supermarkets anymore, they were caught and got in trouble, silly really because the companies could have watched the UA-cam videos and realised they (Mom/Craig) never said one bad word about the companies and provided lots of free advertising.
      Even more so now that 150,000 subscribers has become 700,000 subscribers, but it is their decision I guess.
      As for the Mukadoos I'm sure they would if they had the time, Craig cooks occasionally on his channel No Egg Craig.

I have some citric acid coming today and some flavoring I'm reaaaalllyy excited. Everything about this excites me even just seeing the cool little tool he used to scrape the pot. It amazes me the things candy makers have found that just work.
