💑 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!

I like that Quick Steve and Terry get to sit down and mostly relax for a few minutes. Enough! Now back to work or I’m calling Corporate 😂
☠️
That's the longest break they have until Easter 😂
My grandma saw a candy maker pure peanut brittle on a marble slab and told may mom that she could use her marble kitchen table to make brittle. Long story short took 2 weeks with hammer and screwdriver to get the peanut brittle off the fake marble table. Best peanut brittle ever. Got her a reject marble headstone back in the 90’s and still use it for brittle. Miss you mom.
Yeah, the guy probably saw a snippet of how to make candy canes on TikTok and one thing I have learned don’t ever try to make anything you see on TikTok because it never turns out right.
That's a good rule to live by
Just like Pinterest
I used to make hard candy with my Mom’s recipe - flavor (oil) and color in the pot once it was hot enough - then we poured it on a cookie sheet that had a layer of powdered sugar on it. Then the hard part - cutting it with scissors when it was cool enough to stay in little pillow shapes but warm enough to cut - major mad dash, with friends to help. Then it all gets tossed with more powdered sugar - to say the process coated the kitchen is an understatement. 😂😂😷
I just want to say that I’ve disappeared from your channel for a long time… perhaps 5-6 years as my estimate. I never did subscribe back in the day, for some reason I never subscribe to the gems of CZcams. I always trusted my algorithm to bring me back when the time is right.
Well, here I am, and I see you guys haven’t aged a bit!
I swear to you that I LOVED the videos you guys were putting out.. I remember a few nights I missed out on sleep just to watch you guys (I don’t recommend doing this as much as you viewers may want to). I loved seeing your family and friends in all the videos behind and in front of the camera.
The corny dad and mom jokes were always great and well timed and your videos made me feel like I had a seat in your home. I thank you for going into this business and I thank you guys for sharing all those moments with the world.
This channel will always have a special place in my heart. You guys really brightened many early mornings, afternoon snoozes, and many sleepless nights. You didn’t make my days great, my days were great when I was blessed to wake up… you made my days SO much greater.
Sincerely,
A very long-time & thankful fan,
Josh
pls do candy makers react to tanghulu ! it's a popular chinese treat that consists of candy coated fruits. it's traditionally made with hawthorn, but people have also been using more common fruits such as strawberries and grapes. lots of people on tiktok attempt to make it, and im sure steve and terry can give them their professional insight ! btw i love your candy and this channel :)
Good thing he didn't add the red coloring to it before he poured it, that red would have probably stained that counter for life 😆
That could have been a lot worse!
You inspired me to purchase a decent candy thermometer and I made Cashew Brittle. It was scrumptious!!! It was so fun to do. 🍬🍫🍭
That's awesome! And I'm even happier to hear that it turned out well!
I thought this video would be a lot longer like he’d struggle with the pulling process or something, not that the candy canes would be dead puddles right from the start 😂
Terry, always promoting! 🤣👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
We will always support you. Keep working hard.
Thank you!
Somebody have not been watching your videos enough bless their hearts
He tried!
When I was a kid, years and years ago lol, we made hard tack candy. I believe it is very much like your candy. we would pour it on a cookie sheet, let it cool completly, then take a hammer to it or pick up the pan and drop it. The last step was roll it powered sugar. Yes the edges were sharp sometimes but we were kids and we just eat it up. And before you ask yes mom did most of the work.
Hi from Sue in New Brunswick, Canada. WE love your Chocolate and candy
Thanks so much!
Greg made a video of him making candy canes on a stage/float. He used a griddle.
Sounds like the theory checks out!
This was enjoyable to watch lol 🤣
I'm glad you liked it!
When I was a kid my mom and I used to make candy together and we would pour onto a warm from the oven cookie sheet!
I knew it would work!
That's so funny!! You guys just make it look so easy!!
Aww this was awesome.. I hope they react to more 👍👍👍👍👍
I know you probably don't need another bark suggestion, but this is one that we made with my grandmother. We kids called it Chunky bark (after the candy bar). All it is is milk chocolate, raisins, and chopped peanuts. Every time I see you making any bark, it reminds me of my grandmother's farm and cooking in her kitchen.
Have been thinking about that also. ❤
Love the last part of the video ❤❤❤. Beautiful couple ❤❤❤
I received my candy order today - everything tastes amazing! Thank you! 😊
I rarely made hard candy, but when I did I used a cast iron pan I usually used for making muffins (English version!) on. Was about 18" diameter, had a raised lip and held more heat than a thin baking tray. Those I usually used for casting toffee and fudge :)
That's a great idea for how to make it at home!
We used to make what we called taffy. We made batches, flavored and colored in the pan. Then we poured it out on big baking sheets. We didn't used gloves, but coated our hands in butter to pull small amounts and shape it. Then left it to harden. I remember making all different shapes. The gloves would have been nice. We had to pull and shape pretty fast before it would harden. It is a great family memory. You all make it look really easy.
i love the sponsor slot so nice to see small bis helping eachother out
I also really love when we can work with a company that we've already been using for years!
Much love from Rhode Island!
Sounds close enough to road trip!
I already drive a hundred miles a day due to work, but if I ever get within 100 miles of you, I will absolutely come!@@HerculesCandy
Just got my first order of your candy. The Strawberry banana hard candy is delicious and the bark was awesome too.
I make homemade flavors hard candy. I mix my flavoring and food coloring in before i pour mine out. And i use parchment paper with cooking spray on it. Then let it cool. Taste like homemade jolly ranchers.
I made your chocolate covered cherries!! They are so good! Thank you for teaching me Dad!! 💓👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice constuctive advise, guys .
Thanks!
Love this kind of content! I mist ask, your mum is so knowledgeable about candy, did she have any knowledge before marrying your dad or did she just learn through years of working within the family business?
She did not. Everything she learned on the job with her boyfriend/husband.
I’m glad you were sponsored by a brand you use.. now Jif and Oreo needs to step up.
That mess is exactly why my hard candy goes right into molds. And YES my “old fashioned stained glass candy” recipe calls for it to reach 303 degrees too. But should take it 310? I spray my molds with cooking spray. Before I had them, I poured it into a pan of confectioners sugar & broke them(that’s where stained glass comes from)
I use LorAnn flavorings. You’re right, some flavors aren’t very strong(like cotton candy).
With such a small batch wouldn't you just leave it in the cooking pan, add the color and flavor off the heat, and then stir the mixture to cool it to the point where it's getting thick and can be handled with gloves? (How hot is the candy when you're pulling and shaping it?) Then it could be pulled a bit and shaped on a shortening coated cookie sheet? I wonder if "D" made two puddles so he could color one red? Probably need to have two cooking pans in that case. Fun video!
this was a fun video
Is there a part 2? He eventually tries again!
I tried making coal candy for this past Christmas and the recipe I used called for cooking the sugar to 300, and guess what, it was sticky!! Now I need to try again with the correct temperature
He made rock candy😊 he should've dumped it on baking sheet & flavoring in then pan. I used to make candy as a child growing up. Because as yall know we didn't have much candy choices & especially in the country
Last piece of advice: don't try smthn new that'll destroy your counter 5 min before your partner is gonna walk in 😬
words to live by 😂
He should have used a heated stainless steel baking sheet or cake pan.
He learned from experience!
So...when are you going to make some horehound candy?
(Yes, I am *_THAT_* freaking old)
😂
I can confirm the cookie pan on the stoves warming zone works well. The microwave in small 2 to 3 second bursts can help but the stovetop warming zone is much better. I stuffed mineral wool isolation between two layers of nithrile gloves and it worked, but it's rough. Do you guys use fda gloves or simple clean hardware store gloves?
Watch the Korean Candy makers they make hard candy all the time that’s how I found y’all they use heating lamps and silicon Mats, it be awesome if y’all made candy in front of windows so people can watch I’ve seen that at other places and get a lot of customers
It looks like the guy did multiple things wrong! Hercules has it down!
They should react to Nile red making cinnamon candy out of styrofoam cups!
My husband made a business trip to Italy and brought me home a rolling pin made of Carrera marble. It’s almost 50 years old and is still rolling strong.
I think I tagged you in this lol 😂
Montana here good lesson
Thanks for learning with us, Penny!
Once he gets the counter clean he should look into resealing it.
It's sugar so I'm assuming if its stuck to a counter you can just use a lot of water to dissolve it off ? Make a little dam out of play-dough and soak it.
I'll just buy my candy canes. I make fudge and hard tack candy and dip chocolate, make bark, etc. But I'll just buy the candy canes.
At home marble slab heated with overhead heat lamp
What about a heat light 🤔
That could work!
We ❤ SUPER-STEVE And HULK-SMASH TERRY!!!
Haha good nicknames!
I haven’t seen any of your videos since terry butty bumped a hole in the wall when moving into the newer office space well it’s a couple years old now I’m sure
You want radiant heat so maybe a heat lamp like for reptiles or baby birds
A cookie sheet with a heating pad under it?
i would not chisel it off that counter but melt it off with boiling water.
A lot of people make mistakes on purpose to get views that’s probably was his intention and he got what he wanted it’s just like click bait I always google and read reviews before doing anything I see on social media learned the hard way but I definitely love y’all’s videos I’ve always wanted to do candy I’ve done icomalt candy ice cubes for my cakes and Rock candy on a stick, peanut brittle, do y’all do anything like that
Why the headphones, Steve?
Has anyone noticed his insane blister on his finger?
Check out Logan’s candy canes !
We love Logan's!
I preferred sugar free ones from Amazon. Diabetic here and now a senior citizen as of 2/25/24.
yall think about making glass candy
Missed your up-load last night! 😩 (grand daughter over for a few days) gotcha this morning!
Great video… question, “Did corporate allow time off work?”😊🤭
🩵🍬🩷
I plan to leave candy-making to you wuvvies; you've got it down to a fine art. 🤍 My heart sunk a little for this fella.
Yeah he needs to go to candy making school at Hercules Candy.
