I remember my dad making this,and he was the last one at his job to be doing everything by hand. The candy company he worked at was transitioning to machines and automation at the time he had to go into early retirement (he had already been diagnosed with ALS about 6 months before that andhe was struggling to do the job due to his illness) they retired his copper kettle andhad a plaque on the wall for him for awhile, dont know if it's still there since the company was sold
Same here, Momma made our Christmases so special. Her 2 sons-in-law said they'd never experienced Christmas before spending it with our family. Momma had a way to make anyone feel welcomed & special. My sister & I miss her every day but more so around Holidays because she made them all wonderful for her girls. She had so many ways to let her girls know she loved us.
True artisan craftswoman-craftsmenship. Love the slow motion. My grandfather was a butter maker and that was a science and an art he learned in Denmark before 1920. He ran a creamery in northern Minnesota and made butter for Land O’ Lakes.
TIM from Canada here is the funny thing it takes someone almost a whole day to make a small box of ribbon candy someone will buy it and it will be gone in 10 minutes. All that hard work.
Alright, so realistically, while they spent the whole day making this ribbon candy, it didnt take a whole day to make a small box, it took a whole day to make a couple of hundred boxes, which brings down the average minutes/box pretty significantly. If we assume 150 8oz boxes from 5×15lbs batches takes 2 people 8 hours, then each box takes a little over 6 minutes of labour cost/ box. Then all you gotta do is figure out what the overhead is, and the cost of raw materials and packaging, to figure out approximately the cost per box. My guess is the per box cost would be somewhere south of 9$, and the margin is probably around 100%, so they're probably charging somewhere between $15-20 per 8oz box. Gotta say, not bad for six and a half minutes work!
Ribbon candy was always my Dads favorite at Christmas time. He always brought some home with nuts and fruit God rest his soul. Now it’s a favorite of my whole family! Great watching to see how it’s made. With TLC. ♥️ Thank you and Merry Christmas to y’all. 🎄🎁👏
GREAT shots Craig. The slow mow was really good to see how each hand does something different. It happens so fast that it looks easy, but when someone else does it.. you can tell the experience gap between Terry and them.
This really makes me crave ribbon candy! I love the stuff. Years ago, we had a place here in Indiana called Billie Creek Village where there was a candier that made ribbon candy and hard rock candies like root beer and black licorice. I miss that place, they did civil war reenactments also. It was the highlight of my childhood to go and watch, and get my candy/sarsaparilla fix.
What beautiful work. The sights and sounds were so satisfying! 🍬 I’d probably think about getting a shrink wrap machine, we had one when I worked at Blockbuster 😂 in college and you could wrap a whole lot more boxes in a short time. It seals the edges of the wrap so you don’t need to tape or cut.
@@CantaniaMomma I am more Swiss-German in background (father's side from Zurich), so more familiar with German pfeffernusse. But Italian anise cookies sound divine! I already love making biscotti. 😁
I love thin old fashion ribbon candy but haven’t found anything good in years. It was a favorite of mine for Christmas. I guess I will have to learn to make it!
@@CantaniaMomma That much I knew...but remembering what it does for candy is a bit different for me because I really don't make candy. I am more of a muffin and cake gal. 😅
That's why there are ppl like me around. I love anise/licorice. I dislike candy corn. So I will willingly trade any candy corn for anything licorice. 😅😁 (Dang, that almost sounds like some canon/lore for a "dystopian future" video game. 😅)
@@MdnightWnd Fr! I was that kid in class who'd tell the others that didn't like the black jelly beans or gum drops in their candy bags to give those to me and I would give them what I didn't like. For me, mixing the black gum drops with the orange ones tasted sooo good! 😅 That said, of all the holiday candy out there, the old-school "divinity" is so not my favorite. At. All. It's more of a texture thing than flavor.
Cream of Tartar stops the sugar crystalizing. I'm in the UK and we don't have ribbon candy here, which is a shame as I would love to try it. Especially the Wintergreen one. That is a flavour we don't get here, and I love it. When my parents went out to the States to visit family, my mum brought back lots of packets of lifesavers.
Found this channel thanks to the algorithm, so adding a comment to feed the algorithm. I've been watching... think it's called Rock Roll? channel on making round candies often with pattern insdie. So it was interesting to see the different method to create ribbon candy. ...and liked the slow-mo of the fingers 'walking' the candy into ribbons.
Genuine question: why is the flavoring added at such a high temp? I’d think it would burn off, but obviously that’s not the case. Still, why NOT add it later like the food dye?
I just found out why your company name seemed so familiar- E. Syracuse! I studied at SU and student taught in E. Syracuse-Minoa. My first teaching job was also in E. Syracuse (though it was only a year).
😋I just ordered some cashew bark and cashew clusters. I just know they are going to be absolutely delicious !! Thank you Hercules team for all your hard work. 🙃
Una sugerencia, la etiqueta con el código de barras enfrente no se ve muy bien debería de ir en la parte de la base de la caja le quieta mucha vista a los listones
I was watching the video and it was stated if you want to come to our store to try pur candy you have to come to Suracuse , NY well hell thats clear across the U.S and im from The State of Washington U.S.A.
Like a flavor that would be a good addition to hot chocolate along with vanilla or chocolate. I was thinking of those that eat ribbon candy while they drink unsweetened hot tea
how is it practical to make such fragile candies? I mean, don't get me wrong: they are BEAUTIFUL to look at. GORGEOUS. but if they are so fragile, why even bother? is there something so uniquely different and so much more amazing about the ribbon candy eating experience that only comes with the ribbon candy eating experience that one cannot also derive from drop candy eating? isn't it going to be a big ol mess anyway?? I'm asking in all sincerity. talk to me about this.
What is The Season Without Ribbon Candy? It Seems it Makes it MORE Fun! I went to Order some but sadly. it says it SOLD OUT. This Completes my ruff day.. : ( Maybe next time....

What was the company he worked for?
What a heartfelt honor❤❤❤ Bless them❤
My Mom loved the thin ribbon candy. I sure miss her, especially at Christmas. She always made Christmas special.
I’m sorry for your loss. God bless
Christmas is never the same when our parents are gone. And not just Christmas.. everything changes 😢

Absolutely love the sound of the ribbon being pleated!🤤
Now I understand why it can be expensive..... Lot of work a lot of detail... A lot of precision... I love old fashioned candy..❤
LOVE terry’s earrings! They’re perfection
Wonderful job everyone. Ribbon candy reminds me of Christmas and my grandmother!
Thanks for the slow-mo shot of the twisting! Super cool

Just amazing! Love watching the process.
I hope the woman wrapping the boxes and cutting the ribbon got new scissors for Christmas!
Watching Terry's hands in slow MO was like watching a ballet!

I love anise! Such a nice long relaxing video
Then you'd love Anise Italian cookies! It's a holiday tradition ❤

Ribbon Twist Terry to the rescue! Such skillful work from you all!
Love how shiny the ribbon candy is.

Yo Terry has skills that difference in speed was wild.
A lot of love went into the packaging and the candy.
I know busy and holidays and what not but...

Cream of tartar prevents the sugar from crystalizing. Makes the candy smooth.
It also stabilizes egg whites for the best meringue!
@@CantaniaMomma That much I knew...but remembering what it does for candy is a bit different for me because I really don't make candy. I am more of a muffin and cake gal. 😅
Don’t forget that it prevents the sugar from becoming too brittle once it cools!
I’m with Julia on this one. I hate anise/ licorice. Still love watching the process though!
That's why there are ppl like me around. I love anise/licorice. I dislike candy corn. So I will willingly trade any candy corn for anything licorice. 😅😁 (Dang, that almost sounds like some canon/lore for a "dystopian future" video game. 😅)
@@a.katherinesuetterlin3028 I don't like candy corn either, lol. But you can certainly have all the licorice!

It is so pretty! I wish that glass ones could be made for window charms!
Oh, this candy **looks** like Christmas! My teeth can't deal with hard candy on its own, so I'd be dissolving it into cocoa. 😅
Look at her go !!!😮

Sharpen those dull blades, for sure!

Cream of tartar helps prevent bigger sugar crystals from forming keeping the candy smoother
so beautiful 😍
The green and white ribbon candy is too pretty to eat.

Cream or tarter keeps the candy from cracking 😊
Wow she’s good!
Mom had this every xmas God I miss her. But now I have to find some.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🦃

Doesn’t it keep it from crystallizing?!
Looks like the blob!

Cream of Tartar would make it crispy.
1 teaspoon cream of tartar keeps it from cracking 😊
I just bought a box of chocolate! Is it possible to show it being packaged?
why do u pay yt? shame on u
Hi there! First time watcher 😀 why is the corn syrup in balls?
Also how do you know when to knock the candy off the hook? Thanks
The cream of tartar makes it so the candy doesn't stick as much on the hook I thought?
Helps to prevent crystallization
Why do they tap the hook with the hammer?
It keeps the candy from sticking to the hook
I was watching the video and it was stated if you want
to come to our store to try pur candy you have to come
to Suracuse , NY well hell thats clear across the U.S
and im from The State of Washington U.S.A.
Cream of tartar keeps the candy cane from breaking or cracking
you go mom, so beautiful.
I wanna know how they clean their dishes and tools
Cream of tartar prevents sugar from crystallizing.
I'd be way to tempted to write "DO NOT EAT" on the packaging ribbon. Partly as a joke, but also partly serious...
What does ASMR stand for?
They can ship ribbon candy. It's just you don't package the candy the right way for shipping
The cream of tarter will make it foam.
Sick Sunn O))) shirt
I find myself wondering if you could make ribbon candy bark

Does the sticker have to go on the front of the box ?😢 the packaging is so beautiful then, the sticker.
I love licorice
I love the Black and the strawberry
Do you all make the licorice whips?
Candy color volcanoes ❤

I’ve never had ribbon candy before if you guys can believe that
I’d never even heard of it until I started watching this channel, lol
Looks like you could save some money on ribbon by cutting each strip an inch shorter.
What does cream of tartar do?? My mother always had it in the cabinet.
want to try but i live in Hong Kong 😢
I don’t like anise and I can smell it all the way over in the U.K.
It gags me. I can't believe anyone likes it. Yuck.
Never had ribbon candy before…
How much per box? It's neat seeing all the labor hours that feed into each product - thanks for uploading.
Genial❤
Can you ship this to ut😅ah
How much does production increase around the holiday season? (mainly Thanksgiving/christmas)
Good
What are the different flavors in the box?
Keeps it from sticking
That's not air tight either. There's air in the package before. You want air tight is vacuum seal air tight.
❤❤❤❤
Only bad thing about this videos is that u cant taste the candy😭😭😭
