I love how despite hundreds of videos, across many years, repeating it, Craig has made sure that, even in the no talking ASMR videos, we have an explanation as to why they do not use a ladle for the corn syrup.
WOW, I wish everyone did their videos like you guys do...no talking, no head-banging music, explanations of each step with captioning, good grief, y'all are the best!!! 👍🏻
The camera person had one job, ONE ... and freaking aced it! Awesome tutorial and on screen prompts explaining everything. I enjoyed the levity as well, cute.
I have made pecan brittle now for over 50 years. This is the first time I've seen it made in big batches. I use a small sauce pan and pour the brittle over the pecans that are on a cookie sheet. U.S. A..
The sounds are great in this one! The scissors making the first cuts through the brittle and the crispy sound the brittle makes after it's been stretched are my favorites. I would be so tempted to drop those big pieces just to watch and hear them shatter! 😄 I also like the sounds of the bags as they're being filled. Thank you for the great explanations. ❤
Just not the same as getting to hear you all talk, joke, laugh, etc. etc. That's why I'm sure a lot of us watch you! Us old timers have seen every candy you've ever made, we're here to be part of the family too!
Ditto, now I have internet again, I totally miss your families camaraderie. 😢 I understand ASMR is a thing, but how dull it must be at the work not being able to play also. I love this and respect your older videos for this. Sweets are yummers, but you guys & gals are sweet, and I miss this. Sob
@@diannabrooksit looks like they are still doing that on their other channel. I found it by searching “Hercules candy” rather than “Hercules candy asmr”
YUM. I watched it twice. The first time to see the captions. The second time I watched it with my eyes closed. Who knew candy making could be so relaxing ❤
I have always loved hearing the banter between everyone in your videos, from even way back to when you were working in the basement. I personally feel these no talk ones are boreing. Others amy feel differently. You cn only watch someone silently make the candy so many times. I always come for the " entertainent " and the smiles you bring to my face while you work to brighten my day. Plus you have removed all the old videos so we can no longer go back and rewatch our favories.
Oh gosh I second this! Oh so very very sad that the old videos are gone. Now that I have internet again, I was so looking forward to looking at your older videos. Gosh.
I love this channel. I don’t even eat a lot of candy either . I don’t even eat pecan or peanut brittle. But It looks so good , especially the pecans being added. I know it’s diff, but my mom loves store bought peanut brittle. It just reminds me of her. Love the vids !
This makes me want candy so bad! I made peanut brittle one time and the whole house smelled like peanuts for days...this has got to smell SO MUCH BETTER!!!! YYYYUUUUUMMMMMMMMM
Idk how much you charge, but people absolutely get their money’s worth with how much you pack in there! I love the sound of the scissors, it’s truly one of my favorite ASMR sounds. ❤
Simple recipe watching my Grandma as a child, was vook the syrup and pecans in the kettle,then when it can be dripped into a bowl of cold water and itbecomes brittle, its ready.. then add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a teaspoon of baking soda.. then stirz like a madman..then pour it into buttered baking sheets and shake it more to even it out.. then put in the freezer for about 15 mins. The end
Absolutely love the process, care and attention to detail in the making and production of the pecan brittle, have tried a version of it when I was in the state's years ago and was hooked. Not sure if it would survive the transport to Australia. If you know that it does please let me know I'll be a customer. Your video on how it's made, makes my mouth water ❤
Fabulous video, I love the absence of narration and the pure focus on what's happening. WAY WAY better marketing the junk in so many "how they make ..." videos. Subscribed and liked, looking forward to more. Of course, now I have to see if I can divide everything down into a home kitchen sized recipe. :)
I've never had pecan brittle, it sounds and looks amazing! Please forgive my ignorance, but I thought the purpose of adding the baking soda was to slightly aerate the brittle so it wasn't so hard on your teeth. Wouldn't smashing it down and thinning it out beat out all the air? It's been a while since I've made a brittle, but I might have to try again with pecans.
Make my own brittle, much smaller batches of coarse. Always receive compliments because it's so much lighter & more airy. Everyone says it's easier to eat.
I absolutely love seeing your videos are still growing up, and remembering how far you’ve come, from your basement at the previous place to this wonderful big candy shop that you have now.
😂🤣😂yup. That was last week. I’m going to watch the videos with my grandchildren and then let them have the actual candy they’ve just seen being made. Should give them some appreciation of what goes into making it.
I am so curious the table you pour all your candy onto sometimes you got rods up there to block it for to make a damn up is that a heated table or a cooling table or can it be both I'm just curious about that. I'm really enjoying your videos I subscribed last week and I think I've watched probably 20 videos already
Two questions. No Butter? When I make this with Peanuts I have put in a bunch of butter..? Second question, do you not have to stir while the syrup/sugar mixture comes up to temp? I usually end up getting burning if I am not stirring.
Ok, ok, ok, Stop!!! I already placed 2 orders lol. You had me at pecan brittle but once you added the baking soda, my thought went back to my grandmother and I making brittle when i was a toddler. Your video sold me enough to make 2 orders 15 minutes after watching, lol. Thank you for this video! God bless!
I have never made nut brittle with baking soda. Every brittle I have ever made or bought had clear sugar and the nuts and was thinner. Also, when using pecans for the nuts, add vanilla and use maple syrup instead of corn syrup; the flavor is astronomical!
I wish this type of job was near where I live becuase this type of work is perfect for me and I'm really good at it and making candy would make me happy to go to work everyday
I've never seen this kind of thick, gelatinous corn syrup for sale anywhere. Now I'm wondering if it's mostly only from a candy making supplier. Or is it something you make?
I hope that wasn’t the same bag of baking soda get from Costco, which sadly it looks like it, cuz that one specifically says not for use of baking/ cooking and it’s meant for cleaning only as the grain of baking soda isn’t as fine powdered
All that baking soda to make it light and airy. Only to smash all the air out of it and make it as flat as hard you possibly can. I made peanut brittle for twenty years or more. The best recipe I used was from a very, very old southern cookbook. Using virginia peanuts, two tablespoons of baking soda. Every year at Christmas, I would get rave reviews about how light it was. People would tell me all the time that they didn't like peanut brittle, because it was too hard to bite, and it would stick in their teeth, was too hard on dentures. Or needed to be smashed with a hammer. I would smile and say, "Just give mine a try." Every year, I would have so many orders I could hardly keep up.
This has always been my question. My recipe (handed down from a great aunt), contains both baking soda and vinegar, and remains the only recipe I've seen to use both. It's light, crispy, and full of air bubbles. I respect the preference for a thin brittle without the air pockets, but I can't help wondering, every time I see something like this, what the point is of adding the soda in the first place. 🤔
I agree. I've been making and selling brittle for seven years now... Small batches as I will only use cast iron pans and generally make 10 pans per week. I don't understand why anyone would release the air bubbles! My brittle is light, airy and crispy.
I love how despite hundreds of videos, across many years, repeating it, Craig has made sure that, even in the no talking ASMR videos, we have an explanation as to why they do not use a ladle for the corn syrup.
Yeah tht stuff don't pour easy like karo.
Pppppp❤
Q@@69inetails
You would be surprised how many comments and questions about it to this day 😂
What temp does the corn syrup get heated to
@@HerculesCandyASMRis the water ever responsible for any issues like mold in the syrup or is that not really a problem?
WOW, I wish everyone did their videos like you guys do...no talking, no head-banging music, explanations of each step with captioning, good grief, y'all are the best!!! 👍🏻
Why would they do 'head-banging music' or any disruptive additions?? You do know this is for ASMR, not just a how-to video.
The camera person had one job, ONE ... and freaking aced it!
Awesome tutorial and on screen prompts explaining everything. I enjoyed the levity as well, cute.
The camera work while spreading the pecan brittle was *chefs kiss*
I kept saying the same thing!! A+ job on that camera work! 😚👌🏻
Thank you so much!
I have made pecan brittle now for over 50 years. This is the first time I've seen it made in big batches. I use a small sauce pan and pour the brittle over the pecans that are on a cookie sheet. U.S. A..
That's an interesting way to do it on a small scale
Thank you so much for the help, I was wondering 🤔👋🏼🇨🇦
My boss used to make peanut brittle for folks, but he made cashew brittle for me.
The sounds are great in this one! The scissors making the first cuts through the brittle and the crispy sound the brittle makes after it's been stretched are my favorites. I would be so tempted to drop those big pieces just to watch and hear them shatter! 😄 I also like the sounds of the bags as they're being filled. Thank you for the great explanations. ❤
Of all the candies, brittle really does make the best sounds 😍
I've made brittle a hundred times and never thought to thin it out or stretch it. Absolutely brilliant!
Just not the same as getting to hear you all talk, joke, laugh, etc. etc. That's why I'm sure a lot of us watch you! Us old timers have seen every candy you've ever made, we're here to be part of the family too!

@Nataliejn Thanks much Natalie, it nice to have at least some internet. I love this family of candy makers. I will do a search. Many Thanks. 🙂
I love it when the baking soda goes in
That’s my favorite part! Besides eating it of course 🤭
Me, too! Especially when it looks creamy and then starts to foam up and expand. Very satisfying to watch.
It never gets old!
Why is the baking soda used? It is fun to watch it foam up.
@@pacaluvr7963 to make it fluffy, as the reaction that makes ir foam up and aerates the mixture.
I felt like watching the brittle being made was like free therapy. It was so relaxing and informative to watch.
My dad would have loved this pecan brittle. He left us a few years ago but he loved his peanut brittle so I know he would like it.
YUM. I watched it twice. The first time to see the captions. The second time I watched it with my eyes closed. Who knew candy making could be so relaxing ❤
Watching the making of any brittle is my favorite and I appreciate the subtitles 😊❤ Julia and Ezra are the best👍💪
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

You guy's are the best, I just wanted to go and take a nap, so this is perfect!❤
That's why I uploaded it when I did. So that you could take a nap 😉
@HerculesCandyASMR omg, thanks I feel so honored lol! 😊 love you guy's!
Reminds me of my grandmother many many decades ago onto a marble slab. Oh what wonderful times.
Thanks Craig! Great job on the camera work and I love having the sub-titles!❤
Why not use pure cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup? I see you use cane sugar but what is the purpose of the thick syrup?
I love this channel. I don’t even eat a lot of candy either . I don’t even eat pecan or peanut brittle. But It looks so good , especially the pecans being added. I know it’s diff, but my mom loves store bought peanut brittle. It just reminds me of her. Love the vids !
I haven't heard of pecan brittle, I love pecans,that sounds good & looks good.❤
Now I want "Pecan Brittle" 😊 looks delicious...TFS
I love being able to see the entire process from beginning to end. I still think my favorite part is the scraping of the pot after pouring.
That's always very satisfying!
This makes me want candy so bad! I made peanut brittle one time and the whole house smelled like peanuts for days...this has got to smell SO MUCH BETTER!!!! YYYYUUUUUMMMMMMMMM
I really love the smell of brittle days 😍

Can I just buy that big cardboard box full of brittle? :)

3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup water. 1/4 cup Karo white syrup, 1 tsp baking soda. New box. Small sauce pan add syrup, water, sugar cook until lightly brown an
Add gaming
Add baking soda stir quickly pour over pecans on baking sheet. Spray sheet with Pam to prevent sticking
Sorry it stopped on me. Spray the sheet before adding pecans. Any questions just let me know. Good luck. I've been using this recipe for 60 years. .
I really like that the cooking over the fire is done in a corner so people are less likely to get burned by hot candy.

Fascinating. What an interesting process. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks for watching!
The Sound of this video was amazing!
I'm glad you liked it!
Anyone else just pause this video and go to their website to put $300 worth of candy in their cart?
😂🤣😂yup. That was last week. I’m going to watch the videos with my grandchildren and then let them have the actual candy they’ve just seen being made. Should give them some appreciation of what goes into making it.
What was used to make brittle prior to corn syrup being readily available?
So happy to have came across this beauty! The Tingles are amazing!!🌙🥱😴 Will definitely be adding to my asmr playlist as a new regular. Thank you!!
thank you so much! Keep an eye out for our new video this Sunday!
As someone who has a couple of fake teeth, I agree that thinner brittle is better lol
😂
You’re doing the Lords work. They look sooooo amazing!

I bet that smells Absolutely Amazing..!! Looks Delicious !! Thanks for sharing
It really does!
Omfg, this is just soooo ear/mouthgasme!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I would be a Brittle diabetic if I worked there!!!! Looks soooooo good!
Pecan brittle sounds so yummy, one box may not be enough.

Also, when using pecans for the nuts, add vanilla and use maple syrup instead of corn syrup; the flavor is astronomical!
This looks so good. Probably the only that can be sold broken. 😆 Wonderful work here.
I would love working there! The packaging would be my favorite job, especially packaging ribbon candy.
I'm allergic to corn so I'll never be able to try, but I can't get enough of these videos!
Take pride in your work and it shows in your products - Great job looks yummy !!!
I have just discovered your channel 😊🎉🎉🎉
Y’all are wonderful! Thank you!✨
I've been watching these great people make candy since they were in the basement I'm so happy for them
I wonder do they work in silence all the time. Very zen atmosphere
Love the no talking super thanks
I loved the no talking cause I could hear the candy making better
Ohhhh man that makes my mouth water.....love that stuff.👍👍👍🙏
You and me both!
Excellent camera work 👌🙂👊👍
Thank you!
I prefer pecan brittle over peanut brittle....some day when colder weather hits i will be ordering !...
You guys should try a toasted coconut and macadamia nut Brittle
Love that cute little apron 😊❤
How hard is it to clean everything each time with all the auger etc
It's actually really easy, you can see how it's done with hard candy in our video getting posted this Sunday!
I legitimately thought this was an Artificial Nightmare video for a second because of the thumbnail 😂
I wish this type of job was near where I live becuase this type of work is perfect for me and I'm really good at it and making candy would make me happy to go to work everyday
Looks and sounds scrumptious ‼️👌👑
All I have to say is, YUM.
Great video!
i used to make peanut brittle at home anyways love how baking soda interacts with it and the big change good stuff.
I've never seen this kind of thick, gelatinous corn syrup for sale anywhere. Now I'm wondering if it's mostly only from a candy making supplier. Or is it something you make?
I do not want to arm wrestle anyone who makes candy for a living!
😂
Well, that box is just about enough for me. I guess my wife will have to get her own.
😂
😂😂😂
Where do you get the plastic bags from
How many batches do you make a day?
On brittle days we can usually squeeze out about 8 batches of various types of brittle
@@HerculesCandyASMR Wow!
My mil makes peanut brittle and homemade caramels a lot…nothing better than walking in and the smell smacking you right in the face! 🤤🍬
As the sugar/syrup/pecans are being stirred, I want to say "Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble."
I hope that wasn’t the same bag of baking soda get from Costco, which sadly it looks like it, cuz that one specifically says not for use of baking/ cooking and it’s meant for cleaning only as the grain of baking soda isn’t as fine powdered
I'd want to try the little breakaway pieces 😂🎉
I love makin the brittle...adding the bakin soda is the fun part lol...though i don't use sissors to cut it up...i just drop it an break it by hand
❤ videos, just a thought what if you guys made almond brittle
Is it possible to make a peanut brittle/ honey comb high bred? I love them both and would love to try some if you made
That I don't know because we don't make honeycomb
I’ve been watching these and put a few items in my cart 16 shipping cost,,I just can’t do it,,maybe one day …all there candy looks amazing
Julia, Ezra & Craig? Guess I’m adding to my order that hasn’t shipped yet?..😉😘

No hair nets or beard guards?
YES talking version waiting room
What does the baking soda do? I'm guessing all that sugar is acidic?
It makes it rise and gives it a fluffier texture because it adds a bunch of air bubbles into the candy
@@HerculesCandyASMR ty
I think I just gained 2 pounds just by watching! God that looks good!
thought it was 10LB of corn syrup in an older video.
doesn't matter i won't be making this huge batch lol. yum yum
That’s amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the ASMR the best!😊
You found the right channel!
Looks like a good candy to try
I agree
And it’s SOOOOO delicious❣️
Is the corn syrup hot?
How much for the big box of it
Damn that looks good😵💫
How come the corn syrup bucket always look bone dry
great video!
