I don't know why, but I feel like your family is stuck in this 90s vibe, and it's so comforting. I know that's weird to say. Lol, but it makes it feel so homey. So it makes me happy when I watch the videos you all make.
These videos are addictive! Love the talent and hard work that you all do, while joking and laughing. A very pleasant experience watching this great family. Thanks for the good vibes, makes my day!
I love your family! Just watching your videos makes my blood sugar level go up, so I can only watch a little at a time! Your mom and dad make such a cute couple. I have also learned a lot. Thanks for the entertainment.
Tell your mum we'd love to see her bake. I love these videos . So nice to see mum and son constantly chatting , I have a son that barely speaks to me . Much love
Sorry to hear about you and your son, Molly. But my mom and I make recipe videos on my personal UA-cam channel all the time, mostly cooking, but some baking. ua-cam.com/channels/yZ9pEYl4VeOBKVhehwXWUg.html
Hi from Ireland Craig, Mom and Dad! Love watching your videos, so glad your channel was suggested to me by UA-cam! Hopefully one day can try some Hercules candy!
I love your mom, she reminds me of my Grandma and my sister. My Grandma was always quick witted and my sister whew!Lets just say my Dad told her recently she is lucky she lived past 8th grade. The only reason she did, was he knew she got it from her Grandma. One time an older neighbor lady hit my little brother with a broom for riding his tricycle on her sidewalk, and when he came in crying and told us what had happened Grandpa told me you better go with your Grandma she is about to get real "fresh" on Mrs. So and So. LOL
You guys are killing me with offering the Christmas deals for phone orders too! I guess you leave me with no choice, I'm giving in and placing an order haha
Yay snack club! can't wait! happy new year to u and your family! I still have a few pieces of peanut butter filled ribbon candy left to snack on from my xmas order...that stuff is so awesome ♡
Pick some up the next time you come to the states! We'll ship anywhere in the U.S. Although for right now, Abara you might just have to settle for these videos.
Absolutely love your whole set up. Would love to work for you. One question. When packing chocolates why do you do one box at a time? If it was me ide do 3 in one go. I know you have a good reason though so please tell me.
I love your channel. Thank you so much for sharing! :) I looked into ordering and I noticed there weren't any coconut chocolates. Do you ever sell them on your website?
Ok, i am curious....how much candy does your family eat? I couldn't work there and not sample something from every batch! I know that you guys are vegan, does that mean you don't taste the chocolates, but treat yourselves to non-chocolate candy? Some day I am going to take a road trip just to go to your store and spend some time watching, listening and treasure hunting! I have started saving up already because I began watching your videos a little before Christmas and vowed to go and visit your store around our 1 year anniversary and stock up for next Christmas.....but with each new video I watch, I feel like I won't be able to wait that long! lol....maybe I will make an online order, or several, to taste test different treats so that I will know exactly what I need for gifts for next year (except for the Christmas specific candies your family makes). Oh, I can't wait!!!
I will occasionally eat some brittle or peanut butter filled ribbon candy, but that's about it because I'm vegan 100% of the time. My parents though will taste test chocolate things from time to time, but when they eat their meals they're 100% vegan. We would love to meet you and give you a private tour Andrea! Where will you be coming from?
Hercules Candy Hi Craig, I would be coming from New Hampshire, just far enough away to make for an interesting road trip, maybe a weekend one, with a yummy destination!
Do you have any plans for the future in terms of shipping internationally? I'm from Australia and would loveeee to taste your guys chocolate creations!
The main thing holding us back is that customs are such a hassle, also the shipping would cost even more than the candy to ship that far away! So if we can get around those 2 things then we would love to ship to you, but right now it doesn't seem like a possibility in the near future.
I'm such a weirdo, I started crying when I saw the remote in a plastic bag... anything that reminds me of my grandma makes me cry, that was the only place that i've seen that they do that to the kitchen tv remote...
Don't leave us in suspense, what kind of vacuum cleaner is it? I'm always looking for a better one because mine sucks...figuratively speaking of course.
I grew up with a phone like that and it really worked. I sewer I'm under 30 years old. Also, my sister would sit too close to the TV and she would get in the way. In order to get her out of the way one time, I told her to go get the phone. It wasn't ringing. She came back and told me they hung up. We lost it. Now if someone is really not paying attention we tell them to go get the phone
I think you should try Rural Route 1 Popcorn (the best there is grown 15 miles from me) and then cover it with your chocolate and add nuts and chewys to it. Yummy!!!
I first thought that when you guys were saying, "gonna tell corporate" it WAS Mom, because she wasn't there at the time, but then I saw her say it. Now I know why you guys say it! But it's also funny how Steve relayed that you guys used to say "I'm telling" to him, in relation to Mom, so everything is right in the world.
We remelt it if it doesn't sell, although it doesn't happen often, we usually sell it at a discount and it flies off the shelf! It's good for up to 1 year if kept cool enough. And yes we can absolutely ship a valentines box!
Craig I'm just going tru first video's! What happened you were so much laid back..... cool.... awesome.... more confident I really thought u were a bit shy! I'm thinking someone like so many hateful people who say nasty things about people that they are jealous of. I really really like your attitude back then. Come on son u have done so much for your family business. I definitely became a lifelong fan and Customer because your hard work of filming I thank you for giving us a lot of your family life. By the way your parents are soooooo cute and cool. I'm using my sons account on UA-cam cuz I bought premium. Lol I'm a mom! Just incase because of name. My son is still a young boy.
what surface do you put the chocolate puddles on (for coating)? plastic would melt and the chocolate gets into the wood, but i imagine that metal gets very hot very quickly
You are correct, they aren't on the website because they sell out so fast. We currently have them in stock if you want to call (800-924-4339) or email an order. The 4 piece box is $7.99 and the 9 piece box is $15.99. If you let us know the quantity you want and your shipping address, we can figure your shipping charge.
I just wanna say thank you for sharing a part of your daily lives with us you don't see or its very rare to see the insides of a can shops operations I'm new to your channel and watched every video on the making of your candy I thoroughly enjoy watching and always eager for the next 😊
Not candy related. When your mom said "buck and a quarter", I immediately thought about the Bugs Bunny Robin Hood cartoon where Daffy is talking about his quarter staff. He said it was actually a buck and a quarter, quarter staff. LOL
Take a pretzel rod, cover part of it in peanut butter, cover that in chocolate and then roll it in broken potato chips. BAM! Snack club. And no we do not made fudge.
amanda cabrera and this entire time I thought the club was going to be a monthly subscription to a little suprise box of candy snacks, not a handheld club lol
I was hoping for a snack of the month club Jan peanut brittle Feb heart shaped chocolate covered cherries?

If my parents ran a candy store like this when i was a kid, I would weigh like 600 LBS. My weakness is any kind of softcream centered chocolate... vanilla cream is my fav though. Speaking of vanilla cream... do you guys make large vanilla cream eggs? Not the small one's but those large... 1LB or larger?
Hercules Candy Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason behind not making the larger creams like that... like too much product required per item to produce each egg or something? Or would you even consider making it as just a speciality order type thing? I know I can get them at walmarts... but I'm betting they would taste 1000% better than the mass produced one's and worth the extra cost.
We used to make larger eggs (1/2 lb) but they didn't sell very well - probably because once you cut into it, if you don't eat it all at once, if becomes an oozy mess. We make individual single serving cream eggs in the following flavors: buttercream, marshmallow, coconut, raspberry and peanut butter cream.
Terry Andrianos Ah ok. I guess your cream is thinner than what the mass produced one's are. Because you can cut into them and no running what so ever... it's a drier / thicker cream. Cause as kids we use to only be allowed a single slice each day after dinner :)
You and your mum have the cutest banter. You seem like best friends :)
We are
I'm so happy that this channel exists!
Well we're happy that you're happy Alyssandra!
I'm ordering candy soon! cannot wait!
Alyssandra Curtis i
I don't know why, but I feel like your family is stuck in this 90s vibe, and it's so comforting. I know that's weird to say. Lol, but it makes it feel so homey. So it makes me happy when I watch the videos you all make.
I guess we're just a blast from the past 😂
Everyday Kathlena i
Yeah Terry reminds me of my childhood friends mom, accent, mannerisms, and silliness hahaha
That thug life with the chocolate instead of a cigarette 😂😂😂 the thug candy maker. Loved this video
haha that was my favorite part while editing it, I'm glad you enjoyed that
These videos are addictive! Love the talent and hard work that you all do, while joking and laughing. A very pleasant experience watching this great family. Thanks for the good vibes, makes my day!
This is so comforting to see a family together.
I love your family! Just watching your videos makes my blood sugar level go up, so I can only watch a little at a time! Your mom and dad make such a cute couple. I have also learned a lot. Thanks for the entertainment.
Your mom is so adorable! I love her!
She's my favorite mom!
Ok....I am doing a re-watching binge thing and I MISS THE BASEMENT!!!
Tell your mum we'd love to see her bake. I love these videos . So nice to see mum and son constantly chatting , I have a son that barely speaks to me . Much love
Sorry to hear about you and your son, Molly. But my mom and I make recipe videos on my personal UA-cam channel all the time, mostly cooking, but some baking. ua-cam.com/channels/yZ9pEYl4VeOBKVhehwXWUg.html
Binge watching from the beginning...laugh so hard every time "fast Steve" lives up to his name 😂😂😂
That's so super cool how it's just like second nature for your parents to make all these candies. I could watch them for hours!
They've done it for decades, so if it wasn't second nature by now something is wrong haha 😂
Happy New Year, Thanks for doing a youtube channel for the Candy stuff. Hope you have a great rest of the weekend.
Thanks you too!
I love your family's banter and silly sarcasm 😆
No way! Me too!
I ❤that she called your dad your "popscicle"!!!
Oh we have lots of nicknames for him haha
All that candy looks so amazing!
And it tastes even better!
The thug life part was great!
Hi from Ireland Craig, Mom and Dad! Love watching your videos, so glad your channel was suggested to me by UA-cam! Hopefully one day can try some Hercules candy!
If you're ever in the area you better stop by Vanessa!
I love your mom, she reminds me of my Grandma and my sister. My Grandma was always quick witted and my sister whew!Lets just say my Dad told her recently she is lucky she lived past 8th grade. The only reason she did, was he knew she got it from her Grandma. One time an older neighbor lady hit my little brother with a broom for riding his tricycle on her sidewalk, and when he came in crying and told us what had happened Grandpa told me you better go with your Grandma she is about to get real "fresh" on Mrs. So and So. LOL
love your films, so down to earth xxxx
RIP the discontinued chocolate Santa
He led a good life
I love that Valentine's box with the white cut out pattern over the red background :D
You guys are killing me with offering the Christmas deals for phone orders too! I guess you leave me with no choice, I'm giving in and placing an order haha
We're looking forward to it Serena!
you guys are great! Hello from missouri🙋
Yay snack club! can't wait! happy new year to u and your family! I still have a few pieces of peanut butter filled ribbon candy left to snack on from my xmas order...that stuff is so awesome ♡
Thanks, Happy New Year to you and yours as well! And enjoy those last few pieces it'll be another 10-11 months before you'll be able to get any!
lol I was half expecting your dad to turn around and say "Ask your mother."
haha sounds like him
love what you do..
Lol! That "phone".....straight outta "Little House On The Prairie!" 🤣 Which, I believe, was ahead of that time, lol'
If youre not shipping internationaly how the heck should i get some of your candy over here in Austria, nooooooooo ;(
Pick some up the next time you come to the states! We'll ship anywhere in the U.S. Although for right now, Abara you might just have to settle for these videos.
My grandfather had a phone just like that and it was a radio too
How cool!
I like how the shop is set up.
Clearance link!! Some of us start there on new sites. Looking forward to it!
" H E Double Toothpics" LOL
I love watching your videos❤️ You have a beautiful family🤗
I Love Chocolate 😘 from Windsor, On Canada
Absolutely love your whole set up. Would love to work for you.

Hercules Candy Hi Craig, I would be coming from New Hampshire, just far enough away to make for an interesting road trip, maybe a weekend one, with a yummy destination!
I bet your neighbors love you guys . it would be awsome to live on that street.i would buy candy every day.
haha I think they're used to it by now
Laughed so hard at the thug life part! Perfect!
haha glad you enjoyed it Erica
Do you have any plans for the future in terms of shipping internationally? I'm from Australia and would loveeee to taste your guys chocolate creations!

Hercules Candy That's fair enough 👍🏻
Could you please do a raisin cluster video :)
14:57 the bigger the smile the bigger the seeth! Best shown in retail (like me)😀😁
I can only imagine the weirdo that threatened to call corporate
you should rename it to Packing Chewies And Nuts
Oh I wouldn't dare
Bummer. Had I known I could call in and get some Christmas candy I would have. I placed my order yesterday.
You guys are so great!
cider donuts? that sounds magic.
it is
Hercules Candy could you do a video on it?
I'm such a weirdo, I started crying when I saw the remote in a plastic bag... anything that reminds me of my grandma makes me cry, that was the only place that i've seen that they do that to the kitchen tv remote...
I literally want to be your moms best friend 😂 she is hilarious, love her!
Don't leave us in suspense, what kind of vacuum cleaner is it? I'm always looking for a better one because mine sucks...figuratively speaking of course.

hahaha so devious Sarah 😂 I might have to use that one
I think you should try Rural Route 1 Popcorn (the best there is grown 15 miles from me) and then cover it with your chocolate and add nuts and chewys to it. Yummy!!!
We'll look into it!
Lmfao #thatsaropecraig omg i can't 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂🤣

Thug life maybe on Opposite Day...lol! I love the bite mark on the chocolate bar😁
So when you're all downstairs making chocolates, who is ringing up the customers? Do you only film when the candy store is closed?
Usually Karen rings up the customers
Is it possible to recycle the chocolate that doesn't sell? How long is it good for? Also, would you ship the valentines box?
We remelt it if it doesn't sell, although it doesn't happen often, we usually sell it at a discount and it flies off the shelf! It's good for up to 1 year if kept cool enough. And yes we can absolutely ship a valentines box!
Craig I'm just going tru first video's! What happened you were so much laid back..... cool.... awesome.... more confident I really thought u were a bit shy!

Can you show how to make the chewies and the cream filled I have always wanted to see those made
Yes we can
Hercules Candy thank you soo much i always wanted to know how to make them.
I am going to call corporate too! LOL
what surface do you put the chocolate puddles on (for coating)? plastic would melt and the chocolate gets into the wood, but i imagine that metal gets very hot very quickly
Metal, the chocolate is not much warmer than room temperature
Thug Life Candy Boss. That was funny. Should do a give away episode! ;-)
We plan to in the future so stay tuned for that, Kevin!
I've also been told to never caffinate.
How long does it take to make one of the big boxes of chocolates
lol My Gram had the same Telephone Radio when I was growing up!
Do you guys make chocolate covered Carmel's with sea salt?
We do!
Hercules Candy On the website if so I can't find it 😩
You are correct, they aren't on the website because they sell out so fast. We currently have them in stock if you want to call (800-924-4339) or email an order. The 4 piece box is $7.99 and the 9 piece box is $15.99. If you let us know the quantity you want and your shipping address, we can figure your shipping charge.
OK thank you I'll be making an order here real soon!!
hahahahahahaha love your videos
Thanks Silvia!
finally😊 OK what do you all do with the candy that doesn't sell
I just wanna say thank you for sharing a part of your daily lives with us you don't see or its very rare to see the insides of a can shops operations I'm new to your channel and watched every video on the making of your candy I thoroughly enjoy watching and always eager for the next 😊
do you all make chocolate covered pretzels I see you had the rods but that was it
We do make chocolate covered pretzels, they're right next to the chocolate covered potato chips, glad you like the videos Jaime!
Hercules Candy what do you do with candy that doesn't sell
Either remelt it or sell it for half off, it will well eventually!
i want a box of hercules candies!!!!
could we order the Christmas candies through email?
Yes! Although they won't come to you through email...We're still working on that one.
What oh filled trees and no one has taken them yet?!
I know! Who doesn't love peanut butter filled chocolate trees!?
Thug Life indeed.
Not candy related. When your mom said "buck and a quarter", I immediately thought about the Bugs Bunny Robin Hood cartoon where Daffy is talking about his quarter staff. He said it was actually a buck and a quarter, quarter staff. LOL
and creams
LOL that thug life
😂
how are you thinking the snack club will work?
do you make fudge?
Take a pretzel rod, cover part of it in peanut butter, cover that in chocolate and then roll it in broken potato chips. BAM! Snack club. And no we do not made fudge.

We wish! Customs is too much of a hassle though so we just ship domestically.
Procrastinating 😂😂😂
Watching again 😁
Why don't U get Jeff Foxworthy to tell it?
How do your parents feel about this new channel?
Oh they're all about it
why are they called cow chips?
Because of the "holstein effect"
Decaf coffee still has some caffeine...
The bigger the smile, the bigger the seethe!
Do you ship world wide?
julia Hadford nope
+Mehak Siddiqui. Thanks
Who is Brad?
He's our chip guy! He does almost all our chocolate covered potato chips
Hercules Candy that's awesome I need a chip guy in my life
how do you guys make the fillings for the creams?
We actually just got done shoot that video earlier today, so stay tuned, it will be up in a couple of days!
Hercules Candy thank you so much
If my parents ran a candy store like this when i was a kid, I would weigh like 600 LBS. My weakness is any kind of softcream centered chocolate... vanilla cream is my fav though.
Speaking of vanilla cream... do you guys make large vanilla cream eggs? Not the small one's but those large... 1LB or larger?
Oh and if nobody buys the big santa... you could always send it to me for free and I could do a taste test for ya : )
So thoughtful of you to offer to volunteer as our quality control expert. But no we do not have creams that big :/
Hercules Candy Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason behind not making the larger creams like that... like too much product required per item to produce each egg or something? Or would you even consider making it as just a speciality order type thing?
