- One Small Change Led to 5x Bigger Batches! Well at least 5x the yield (when we do it properly) of the same size batches. But this will hopefully help us keep filled ribbon candy in stock for longer for you guys!

💑 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!

The door to production is shut to keep the strong smells from permeating the chocolates already packaged and in the store
Correct! Someone has been paying attention in class!
@@HerculesCandy self proclaimed 🤓 candy nerd
Huh. Thought it was because the candy makers get startled easily.
#squirrel!
@HerculesCandy did you pin his/her/their answer? 😂
Holy mother I would go bankrupted day one jesus yooo
This was a great idea. I wanted to thank you guys for providing so much entertainment and joy in my life especially during some really tough times. I've been rewatching all the old videos lately and it's amazing how much the business has grown!
Thank you so much! I'm glad we could entertain you through some tough times!
Cranberry filled with white chocolate would be a nice fall or Christmas flavor. Could be a mixed box including things like, peppermint filled with dark chocolate and orange and milk chocolate flavor also.
Sounds delicious!
They have explained why they shut the door when adding the flavouring many times. It's because the scent (when first added to the hot sugar especially) can permeate the chocolate in the store - especially the cream filled chocolates that aren't packaged - those waiting to be put into boxes. Once the scent lessens then the door can be opened again.
Very good! You've been paying attention!
I have to tell you folks that I don't eat sugar (diabetes), but I love watching your videos. It is fascinating how sugar changes states, and you all are fun to listen to. You have a great business, and it must be fun to work there.
They have sugar free candies
Something random occurred to me today… after watching “yous” guys for like 4 plus years, Craig it seems like you’re a lot like your mom… and Cara’s a lot like Steve… ? I love watching family dynamics … your videos are always entertaining and the banter is 💯- God bless!
Same thoughts as me when I joined 6 years ago, I then went back to the start to watch the ones I missed, did you do the same.
Very well said. Thank you.
A couple that can laugh during a heated argument has a great relationship.
I just received the green apple caramel filled ribbon candy!! Sooooo good! I have been watching videos for 6yrs and finally was able to try some candy!
I'm so glad you liked it!
I have watched tons of videos not knowing i lived in the same town, went for the first time today and got super sours and green apple ribbons sours were phenomenal sour throughout the whole candy definitely will be going back thats for sure
Man I wish I could afford the shipping costs to Scotland for the candy! If I ever go to the USA, Hercules is my first stop! Also loving your ASMR channel recently, it actually helps you fall asleep it's crazy! You guys are smashing it! 👏
What’s their ASMR channel called?
@@evercuriousmichelle youtube.com/@HerculesCandyASMR?si=xaDRX4MijK_lL7im
I had no idea you could make your own bubble wrap! Cool.
caramel apple is one of my favorites! the green and white looks amazing. my mouth is watering. need to send you my home made bark photos!
My husband and live love y’all and your show . Gonna order some for my nephew , who is stationed overseas in Japan
Thanks to y'all I've fallen into the candy making video hole on youtube (the Japanese have really turned it into an art 😊) Looking forward to ordering from you soon!
My problem as a diabetic, options are extremely limited. Like a candy maker in Florida has tons of hard candies and even designs yet only 3 options for sugar free. What's up with that? Sad we can't enjoy stuff to!🤷😢
TERRY the genius behind the man 😂
Thomas the Engine was not the one who said, "I think I can. I think I can. I think I can." That was from a book called The Little Engine that Could. Disney did a short a long time ago and they also incorporated it into the train that pulls the circus in Dumbo.
You need to get a few of those "On Air" signs you can turn on when you're filming. 😅
Lol, Julia getting the hammer and quietly standing behind Steve, threatening in any other context.
🤭
Would love to see how a white chocolate bark with macadamia nuts and freeze dried raspberries would taste. And one with freeze dried strawberries as well
You guys should name the bags of ribbon candy that may or may not have filling in it Maybe-Nots. Caramel Apple Maybe-Nots. Maybe with filling, maybe not. lol
The little engine that could said I think I can. He had to pull the cars over the big hill.
Steve, putting the "can" back in candy! ❤😂❤
I make hard candy, using LorAnn flavors, I KNOW why you shut the door! The flavoring is very strong when you add it! I learned the hard way putting extra cinnamon flavor in while leaning over the pot & got a mild chemical burn that looked like I got sunburnt standing on my head. My glasses protected my eyes. I have made cinnamon since though.
You definitely learned the hard way!
@@HerculesCandy I sure did. Peppermint is another strong one I’m very careful with. The fumes of flavoring are strong.
@chrissyfrancis8952 also true!
@@HerculesCandy which is why you close the door!
I miss Max!!
Have you guys ever made honeycomb candy. If not is it in the future for a make
Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2024 ❤ from Wendy in England, subscriber since the basement x x x
Dr. Karen C Sanderson from Kenosha Wisconsin, hey everybody❤❤❤❤
She's a really good candy maker
Julia is definitely a great addition to the team.
Thank you🤭
Can you please ask Madre what model that air bubble shipping machine is and where you purchased it?
Perfect timing. My bag of caramel filled green apple ribbon candy just showed up at my door tonight!
Wow! That is great timing!
It's so good!@@HerculesCandy
The Three Faces of Steve 😂 I can always count on you guys to crack me up!
He has the best focusface
My candies came in today ❤ yum!!! I love them all!! Thanks team!
I always so badly want to eat the ribbon candy while its still warm and chewy!🤤🤤😋😋
I've done that! It's so good!
The best episodes of Thomas the tank had Ringo Starr as the conductor!
When my candy came friday i had to put it in my safe my family was eating it up!'it was melting in our mouths
Enjoyable to the max
ok just ordered this.....I dont care if it comes broken....I will eat the shards.... :)
This was oddly relaxing to watch. ❤
Glad to hear it!
What if you made the caramel a disk? Would that help it get more evenly distributed? Just an idea.
Steve's the man! You're such a laid back guy
Have you thought about doing a chocolate flavor ribbon candy with a strawberry, cherry, or raspberry cream filling??
You guys are like master artists. It's a fascinating process.
Thank you!
Ribbon candy are my favor. J.J.
De-lish!! 😍
Oh My Goodness.
This looks amazing
Thanks!
OK I have an idea for you guys to try I make these every Christmas lately I’ve been making them more often because friends and family love them take two Ritz crackers peanut butter in the middle squish them together like a sandwich and then run them through your machine i dont know how to spell lol or do them by hand but dip them in the milk chocolate and then sprinkle little peppermint candy on top there mouthwatering melted in your mouth yummy I think they would be a hit for you
*enrober
@@byronmurphy1977 yes I know what it’s called a lot of time I just didn’t wanna put it down and spell it wrong and get judged like I kind of just did…
My family wants to see Hercules review the new Wonka movie. 😁
Hercules Candy candy river 🤞
I could watch your ribbon candy videos all day long.
Yeah! Good to see Julia again!
I had no idea that there was a machine to make your own bubble wrap! I'll have to look into that!
Thomas the Tank Engine is an S tier ringtone
If you don't shut the door, it will make the other candies in the store taste like the flavor you are making.
God Bless y’all beyond measure
You've probably already done this, but how about peanut butter filled grape or strawberry ribbon- a PBJ? Would be yummy!
I think they have in the past
@MelaniesManicures
If you want to check, just type Hercules Candy and the name of the candy into UA-cam, and it will come up for you (if it exists).
T@@byronmurphy1977 Thanks for the tip!
What about a heat gun to give an extra boost to melt the caramel?
Thanks for posting always fun to watch!
Thanks for watching Jeanette!
What if I didn’t care about my ribbon candy coming broke!? I wanna try it so bad! And more super sour! Sooo goooood❤️❤️
We do ship the filled ribbon candy!
That was some pretty candy
Looks a bit like a fish fillet at some moments😂
"I think I can..." isn't a Thomas The Tank Engine story. It's an unconnected story about a different train engine, called The Little Engine That Could.
Good to know!
how hard would it be to make candy roses for Valentines day ?
Wondering if a marble rolling pin would help the filling stretch better at the beginning and at he end when you first begin to stretch the candy.
Would love to see an assorted chocolate covered oreos box. I haven't been able to find it anywhere. there's so many different kinds of oreos. golden, peppermint etc. that could be tasty
What would happen / have y'all ever thought about using that shiny edible Mica powder to give hardcandy a more holographic galaxy look?
Question! Have you guys ever pulled something you didn’t mean to pull and was just on auto pilot?
In a recent video, we were making ribbon candy and steve started to shape the candy into a hard candy shape 😂 That's about as close as we got to your question
That candy is just beautiful.
Can we have more packing videos on the asmr channel? They are my absolute fav 😊
We make sure to have them at the end of every ASMR video!
If you add orange you could sell them for St. Patricks Day.
Really cool to watch the making of ribbon candy
The bubble wrap machine isnt loud, thats an audio recording of Cara screaming 🎉. 😊
Evan a heated discussion, you all are not mean or hurtful about it. No cursing, or hurtful words, at least on video and I appreciate it so much! Thank you!
I wish i could order some but the shipping to Belgium is a bit too expensive for me. I love the videos though, i discovered the channel somewhere last year and ive been loving it ever since (: Keep up the great work :D
Go back to the start and watch one old and one new, that would be fun
True, i've been meaning to check out the older videos too.
Chocolate in the store absorbs the flavoring from the air.
Went to look in the shpp 4 hours after posting...sold out. :(
Because everything sell so quickly, there is an email notification option for restocked items on the website. When the notifications go OUT, the orders fly IN
You have to be quick!
It is in stock for the moment today...but shipping to California... Ouch
Candy tensions oh lala!
I assume you close the door for two reasons...temperature control and to keep the whole store from smelling like whatever flavour you're doing.
I made green 🍏 apple hard candy the other night.
Dads face is very expressive
We need more peanut butter items stocked. Like the chocolate covered peanut butter sandwich cookies, cups, etc.
have you guys ever though about making hard candy lollypops
I want filled candy in the bite sized!
The new lad didn't have much to do, should have had him next to Steve and Julia could have guided him, if he needed it. Just an idea....
This is such a great improvement! Are you going to use chilled peanut butter in the ribbons as well? I remember a very wild blowout or 7 on one of those... Couldn't seal it 😂
My office will be ordering some candy this year so we're very excited, we watch you guys during lunch breaks!
hahaha you need audio recording of when a new idea if hatched...evidence hahaha
Another fun video. Time for me to order more treats! Btw...who will be taking over the business when Steve and Terry retire in 30 years?
Cara will be taking over from Steve and Terri.
You should make a chocolate filled butterscotch ribbon!
What if you placed the caramel right on the edge or flowing over just a tad. Then you might get the caramel filling right from the start. ❤
Possibly if it was a little warmer, because in the beginning it's too hard to move and mold how you want until the candy heats it up a bit
😮 Thank you for responding! Love you Hercules Family! ❤😋
What do you do with the ends you snip off? Do you sell bags of ends? They look so yummy.
Workers privileges, by which I mean I bet they take them home, I would.
I've seen the candy stretched but with much more length between the turns making it whiter faster and not so much work you all put into lifting it back onto the hook letting it stretch standing much further away. love watching thanks for the vids...
Candy making creates the best noises.
What flavor is this ribbon candy?
Montana watching from Arizona i like your (shorts) there cool
If you burn yourself again try putting white toothpaste on the burn. Then wrap it in gauze and leave for several hours. When you remove the gauze or bandage wipe off the toothpaste and you will be amazed that the burn doesn't hurt and will not leave a scar.
Do you guys make cinnamon hard candy or ribbon candy? I haven't seen you make it.
Have you ever had your stainless table polished to remove the scratches? It may prevent the candy from sticking when you’re working it. Just a thought.
Cranberry-white chocolate
Keep the door closed to keep the heat in so you can work the candy for longer?
Does Cooper work at Hercules anymore?
Love the staff and the content! ❤
He's in a different job now
Different job than Hercules or different hours than when filming?
@@sheilabolick1368Different place altogether. They spoke about it in a past video, he left amicably to go another route
I don’t who that other dude is folding the ribbon candy but you can tell Julia don’t really like him, wouldn’t even look at him. 😅
@@Docstantinoplehaha awww no, he's just the new guy and was watching how the process is done. I'm sure they're fine 😅
Thanks!
Have you folks ever considered doing Peach blossom candy sometime? Probably for Christmas, my grandmother loved those candies
I am saving up some money to buy some candy! And i can't wait!
