  • One Small Change Led to 5x Bigger Batches! Well at least 5x the yield (when we do it properly) of the same size batches. But this will hopefully help us keep filled ribbon candy in stock for longer for you guys!

    💑 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!

  • @judydenham2110
    @judydenham2110 Před 4 měsíci +26

    They have explained why they shut the door when adding the flavouring many times. It's because the scent (when first added to the hot sugar especially) can permeate the chocolate in the store - especially the cream filled chocolates that aren't packaged - those waiting to be put into boxes. Once the scent lessens then the door can be opened again.

    I make hard candy, using LorAnn flavors, I KNOW why you shut the door! The flavoring is very strong when you add it!

      Because everything sell so quickly, there is an email notification option for restocked items on the website. When the notifications go OUT, the orders fly IN
      You have to be quick!
