This is bringing back childhood memories of the two plum trees that used to be in our backyard. They were so much fun to climb on, and some years we’d have baskets full of plums if the harvest was good. And the plums that grew on them made excellent jams and jellies.
I love dark chocolate covered plums (Polish ones are the best). So when you did the plum cremes on the dark chocolate enrober, I screamed with joy. Another hot flavour - Apricot-chili (or peach-chili). There's a farmer's market near me that does apricot chili jam and it's *so* delish.
Still think pistachio cremes would be a top seller! 😉😉 haha. That purple is stunning though! Those plum cremes next to the blueberry ones would look almost too pretty to eat! Almost...
Pistachio is my favorite. All my birthday cake were chocolate and pistachio flavored ice cream!! Every year.. i would go bonkers over pistachio creams. I would make first purchase for sure. Have been thinking about a purchase but havent done it yet .
It is actually a beautiful looking candy! When it was cut into and you can see the center, it reminded me of amethyst crystals or something like a purple geode. Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing. 😎👍 ~Sharon
I love the colored cocoa butter! I make your creams but the opposite way - so I decorate molds with colored cocoa butters, then add the chocolate shell, then add the creams, then bottom them. The colors are so beautiful!
Oooh, I just got a box of creams! I hope this purple is in there! My favorite color! And the sweetest note from “Elle” in my package. We haven’t seen her before, hmmmm. 😊💜
Wow! What a delicious and refreshing flavor! Juicy Plum! Cannot wait to try in an assorted box soon! 😋😋😋 Nice to see most of the staff in today's video, Craig! 😊😊😊 The bloopers at the end...🤣
I think these, as well as some of your other fruit creams like blueberry, lime, strawberry, mango, etc. would be lovely and taste amazing enrobed in white "chocolate."
Only just found this channel and started binging videos - you guys are so funny xD I know that isn't necessarily the intent, but everyone has such nice personalities and works so well together, it's all fun to watch. Thanks for making these videos!
Non Chocolate covered cremes would be so good! I sometimes scoop the filling out of the Cadbury eggs and throw away the chocolate LOL. Or my favorite thing to do is break the top open and let it dry out the center so it's kind of soft instead of runny, those are the best texture.
Looks like one of the hardest working and sweetest bunch of people in the country right here. The girl and guy at the end looked like such nice people, too. You just don't see polite and happy people much anymore. Thank you so much, Craig, for videotaping your family and friends for the world to enjoy. Your channel is one of my therapy sessions. :)
First thing I ever canned in my life was jalapeno plum jelly.. I sent it to everybody in my family for Christmas and my brothers both asked for more large jars of it shortly after Christmas
Hi from the UK Ian loving the Stunning Colour of this Candy. Such a Wonderful Colour it's just like lavender. Your so Creative with your Candy's. Happy Crafting New treats for all your Customers. Sending you all hugs from over here in the UK. 💞💞❤️💞
@@besties6427 Same. With both I think being Left Handers and how the equipment is positioned, it was always going to be a bit more awkward for the other 2 brothers, but they've adapted with ease
I remember first watching your vids several years ago...you guys just now crossed my mind, and you're still making candy. Great stuff!!! This what you call Family Business
Fruits and chili are great together! The plum looks so yummy! Sad that you guys are back to masks. Enjoyed seeing your beautiful faces. 😊 Much love from Indianapolis
As a fan from Texas, I got excited to hear a mango tajin flavor coming soon. FYI, tajin takes great on watermelon, pineapple and cucumber too. Hearing mango tajin flavor made my mouth water. I will be placing an order or two once you make those. I am sooooooo looking foward to it!
Is this one of the first videos that have y'all back in masks? I'm from southern California and we also have a mandate back. Thak You so much for showing a great example of how to be a responsible business. Not everyone is happy to return better I rather be safe than sorry.
I've been watching this channel for a few years now and never ordered anything before because of my nut allergy and cross contamination but I want to risk anaphylaxis to try the spicy candy lmao
Plum with a little jalla-puh-noe would be great! Someone else here mentioned chocolate covered plums…a macerated and candied plum coated in dark chocolate could be pretty amazing.
ive watched you lot since the very beginning and have always been too shy to comment so here goes ....a stone fruit hardcandy or ribbon candy would be cool. For example; peach, plum, cherry, raspberry, blackberry. It would be perfect for autumn and delicious! 😊😊
I think I had a plum chocolate drop in my recent order of assorted, and let me tell you-WOAH! It was amazing! I ate it in about 4 bites and savored each bite. And the chocolate coating was SUPER creamy. I’ve never experienced that w a chocolate before. A+++++++++

When making plum jam I often spice it with some cardamom. It really punches it up "another notch" as some famous unnamed man might say. It's delicious!
Spiced apple pie, apple creams with spicy nougat folded in and white chocolate enrobed. Perhaps they sound that way because the starch makes something like an obbleck starch-water thing. Non-newtonian liquid?
Cooper has got the rhythm dispensing the creams into the cornstarch molds pretty quick. He also has great taste flavor profiles while he is tasting the premade candy batters. So he is a baker in a bakery?! on his previous job.
Dark chocolate orange with a tiny bit of ginger. I make ice cream that flavor and people seem to love it. Pink grapefruit might be nice, too. Maybe to make the plum taste less sweet, you could try adding Slivovitz!
Thanks for making this rotator cuff surgery recovery a little easier! I'm ordering again as soon as the humidity leaves for good💝🍭🍫😷in Massachusetts too.
So aggravated ! Just saw tape from 5 yrs ago , with just Steve and Terry in old shop! I have not gotten all these videos ! UTUBE is such a pain ! I want to see each video as posted , why can’t I ? Cannot see where Cooper and Brian joined !! Did Cooper work in candy before ? He is such a quick learner ! Just love seeing all the candy made ! Learned so much !
Wait, you guys only know Chartreuse as a color?? It's like the epic-est of herb liqueurs made by monks since centuries. I brought my brother a bottle for his birthday last weekend and we made Tipperary cocktails with it. I didn't even know that they had a color named after it.
Hi everyone hope you all are doing good today.God bless you all.These look awesome. I remember when I would go to my Grandmas house we would go to the plum tree.
My uncle used to make peach habanero jam. I bet that would be a great flavor. Just do a mixed bag and make one super hot flavor and just put one of those per bag as a "Surprise!". lol
Just look at Mexican candy for any ideas. Start with a mild flavor and see how it goes. Unless you are inspired by "Hot Ones" and do a batch that has 5 different levels of heat.

ok
I’ve never known anyone that has a plum tree
@@celam5761 While they’re not the most common fruit produced, plums can be grown worldwide.
Jeez Max, watching you with the enrober is something else. There should be an olympics for it and you would win.
Who needs to workout when you're making candy? 😂

Oh my gosh yes!!!!
Yes, pistachio!

Domino Sugar (unless you specifically buy cane sugar) is made from Sugar Beets. Sugar Beets are a Vegetable, therefore...candy is a Vegetable 🤪

Strawberry-Jalapeño!!! I once had homemade strawberry-jalapeño jam and it was amazing!!!
Interesting
@@HerculesCandy that sounds amazing I'd buy it. Are the plum creams going to be available for purchase by themselves? Thanks love watching you all
That's one of my favorite jams. It is hard to find.
Max and Cooper reenacting the pour 😂 The purple swirl was pretty

Welcome back Max! Missed you! Hope you had a relaxing vacay! Yummy plum! Coop, you're getting to be a pro on creams now! 😋
Some lavender candy would be delicious💜

African violet & iris color. Pretty
Violet flavored creams colored the palest purple and enrobed in white chocolate ! ! ! !
Lorann oils is located about 15 minutes from me. I love going to the factory and buying oils. Smells so delicious.
Cat-screech and the Wilhelm Scream?
Loving the editing and composition on these. :)

Summer's half way over, and the kids here in Augusta, GA just finished their 2nd day back to school. Early in, early out!
Hot Chilli apple pie sounds amazing we just picked up our first order and the peanut brittle is next level. Love the candy and love the videos.
Steve put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum...
I just received my first order and the chocolate covered chips are so good
I'm glad you like them!
The other candies I order are just as good, I will definitely be ordering again
My favorite place of the whole store is the starch room! Where the magic of creams are made.
Dear Gods, creaming plums, I’ve just gaffawed my coffee across the coffee shop table and across the UK.
😂 what type of guffaw was it?
@@sammyjo8109 As a gay guy, I’ve never had an issue with plums, as you say each to their own (or someone else’s in this instance).
Fnarrrr
Spiced apple pie, apple creams with spicy nougat folded in and white chocolate enrobed.

Wow! I love the Purple Plum color!!!
It is never to late for a summer box.even in winter it would be good
Hi those plum chocolate candy looks really yummy
It's a pity that Adelaide don't make them
Cooper has got the rhythm dispensing the creams into the cornstarch molds pretty quick. He also has great taste flavor profiles while he is tasting the premade candy batters. So he is a baker in a bakery?! on his previous job.
The “Hercules” team, headed by Teri, are at it again! Lookin’ good 👍!! 😎
Please make a cinnamon creme - I'd try that!
Love the use of the "Wilhelm Scream"!
Dark chocolate orange with a tiny bit of ginger. I make ice cream that flavor and people seem to love it. Pink grapefruit might be nice, too.
Maybe to make the plum taste less sweet, you could try adding Slivovitz!
Thanks for making this rotator cuff surgery recovery a little easier! I'm ordering again as soon as the humidity leaves for good💝🍭🍫😷in Massachusetts too.
These look delicious! Love your videos and all of the Hercules Candy I have ordered is absolutely wonderful. Hope to visit the shop someday.
Cooper! More purple please!
Naked creams is a great idea! Think about the possibilities: Specialty Assorted chocolates - Without chocolate!
😂
These plum creams look so awesome!
So aggravated ! Just saw tape from 5 yrs ago , with just Steve and Terry in old shop!
I have not gotten all these videos ! UTUBE is such a pain !
I want to see each video as posted , why can’t I ? Cannot see where Cooper and Brian joined !!
Did Cooper work in candy before ? He is such a quick learner !
Just love seeing all the candy made ! Learned so much !
I think the plum/purple would be awesome for Easter.
Hi all love watching you x
They look beautiful!
Need some chamoy for the mango and tajin it’s amazing
Wait, you guys only know Chartreuse as a color?? It's like the epic-est of herb liqueurs made by monks since centuries. I brought my brother a bottle for his birthday last weekend and we made Tipperary cocktails with it.

White chocolate and plum cream please !
Huckleberries are purple and a fabulous fruity flavor!!!
I agree with the white chocolate. I prefer most fruity with white. Carmal an nuts w milk.
Pretty color
i was sooo sure of max doing the tray filling soo quick that i forgot is a difficult work hahah max makes it look easyyyyyy
Hi everyone hope you all are doing good today.God bless you all.These look awesome. I remember when I would go to my Grandmas house we would go to the plum tree.
0:39 worst pronnunciation ever hahhaa 😂 love u guys 😘😘
That was the joke 😂
Whos been here since before max started working at Hercules candy ✋🏽
Do u guys ever do white chocolate cover? Can't get my mind over brown chocolate on plum. 🤷🏽🤷🏽
How about a Lemon/Lime Cayenne Hard Candy?? I had that once and loved it.
looks delectable!!!
I’ve had strawberry jalapeño jelly before and it was so good I’d love to try that
My uncle used to make peach habanero jam. I bet that would be a great flavor. Just do a mixed bag and make one super hot flavor and just put one of those per bag as a "Surprise!". lol
My favorite colors....yummy🥰
Ooo they should do salted caramel creams 🤤🤤🤤🤤 that would be soooooo good
YES, yes yes yes
I got this in a box of assorted last week and couldn’t put my finger on the flavor!! It was yummy though 🥰
I'm glad you liked it! You'll have to try it again now that you know what flavor it is. For science!
Just look at Mexican candy for any ideas. Start with a mild flavor and see how it goes. Unless you are inspired by "Hot Ones" and do a batch that has 5 different levels of heat.
tamarind-chili ones are the absolute best
Max makes the videos so much better funny guy
Yumm my mouth is watering
A cracky sugar shell in place of chocolate-enrobed would be delicious with sugar plum flavor
Thank you
