About once a year when we're all caught up on everything we'll make mystery hard candy all day. We don't add any coloring because there will be 7 different flavors in this bag, but they all look exactly the same! This time around we did lime, orange, peach, cotton candy, cheese cake and pineapple.

đ About Hercules Candy
Hercules Candy has been on Steveâs side of the family since 1910(ish). When he took over in the 70âs, 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 doesnât 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. Donât forget to subscribe and hit the đ for more videos!

I'm so glad Greg has spoken about his favorite part. I love when other candy makers pick up the candy and let it drip and all that. I've always wondered why Steve doesn't do it, but I guess he's just a practical man haha.
If Steve wasn't taught how to do it by his family he usually doesn't do it đ
You guys have the best job. I mean not just making candy, but you guys seem so fun to be around. It wouldn't seem like a job, you know.
The work environment really is pretty sweet here, pun intended đ
Adding cream of tartar when you're making candy helps prevent the creation of sugar crystals. That's why lots of icing, syrup or candy recipes call for it: it makes it so the end product doesn't have large crunchy sugar capsules.Apr 1, 2022
google for the win I went and looked also lol
Max talks about that in some older videos.
The
acts kind of like a flux
The fun of mystery candy. You guys got pretty scientific with counting the pulls for the correct color. đ§đ»âđŹđ§đ»âđŹđš It's good to having you back for a little while Craig. I've missed it. đŹđŹ
It was good to be back! Thanks for having me Sandra!
Cream of Tarter prevents crystallization of the sugars and keep glass candy clear. :)
Max taught us that!
Honestly I know Cooper's moved on, but he really shines as a teacher. I hope where he goes values that and his creativity
I loved to watch Cooper. Such a great sense of humor
First, I love these videos and I can't even tell you why. It's hypnotizing to watch! I have one suggestion/question. Why do you use a tiny shot glass for the flavoring? It's awkward to hold with gloves - I'm waiting for someone to drop it in the molten candy... And the repetition, of 4 shots, 5 1/2 shots.... I recommend you use a nice graduated cylinder for measuring. You can get very accurate measures, it's easy to clean, etc. Sorry - the scientist in me and my OCD just cringe at the little shot glass. Keep up the great work!
I love the comradic atmosphere you guys exude. Also, great tats
So good to hear Craig. I hope you are well and the reno's are going ahead with out trouble. The guys are great fun. It was cool to see a cat apron and a dog apron. Thanks for a great video
I love how theyâre like âoh these are mystery candiesâ but the theyâve already told us like three flavors
You won't know which one you are getting from the bag, at any time, though...
It would be cruel not to tell people what flavors will be in the bag! You just won't know which flavor it is until it's in your mouth
The candies are so pretty when they're pulled.
We've made hand -pulled taffey
Clear MYSTERY candy! Yum!
Great intro Greg, Oh no Oh no đ
đ
Such a satisfying sound when you mix the candy! Iâd love to run my hands through itđ„°đŹ
I was so happy to hear "plain pineapple" flavor ... I was craving that very flavor about 2 mins beforehand. I LOVE PINEAPPLE CANDY!!!
You 2 work so well together!
I just Googled it....cream of tartar helps prevent the creation of sugar crystals (kinda important when making hard candy)
I use cream of tartar withegg white dishes like pavlova, it makes it more aerated and also whitens it :)

Craig your mom just threatened me đčđč! Great videos I needed the laugh's đ»đ»đ
She's serious!
@@HerculesCandy I know đđ chill Mama I've been subscribed đ back in the basement daysđđđ
In some candy recipies cream of tartar is used to keep the liquid sugar from crystalizing.
Amazing camera work in those first minutes. Luscious!
Love the apron!!
Hard candy is where it's at. Delicious sounding flavors. Thanks for another fun vidya, Craig :)
Thanks for always watching, Crystal!
I think it sticks to him more than Steve cause he waits too long after dipping into the water
those two guys are so hard working đ
Awesome video brotha. Love watching you guys Make candy. I will place my order in soon. Will need ice packs and over night shopping. Haha. Good job on the videos. Keep up the great work
Thanks Big Dawg, we can't wait to receive your next order!
I think a tropical mystery mix would be good we need coconut in there
Amazing editing in the intro

I love these guys
Hey craig, how is max? I miss the movie quotes with him and steve. Or dad jokes.
He's just great, our families are still very much in contact, we're still very close đ
Love the music!
Ok ok you pulled my leg enough I give I give. Just paused the video to order some of the mystery hard candy. Never tried y'all's hard candy before so looking forward to that. Also picked up some cashew bark and some nut clusters for good measure. Let's gooooo
I can't wait to hear how you enjoy everything!
Yeah Rootbeer would be awesome an all sour batch too... the fruit and friendly was great didn't last long
I going to miss these two guys work together Greg is kinda slow but he has a good heart I hope is family is alright
Wellsa!, My A1C had went up and I hadn't had any candies for sometime now!??? I was like what's the deal!!!!? So I'm about to order something soon maybe!đJust Love the interaction and the explaining of the process and it makes whatever anyone orders even a more personal touch!!!. Thanks for the videos!!! But until then I'll just lick my laptop screen!!!
which inverts sucrose into fructose and glucose and thereby helps to prevent crystallization of the sugar syrup.
Cream of tartar prevents crystallization of the sugar. So it makes the candy not be possibly grainy.
Mmmmm. Mystery candy! Mine will be here tomorrow.
You should use ear protection in that loud room. People will have hearing damage from it when heyre older.
Thank god for you Craig. Another excellent video!! đ€â€ïžđ€
You should make orange cream ribbons, And/Or something else like cherry limeade, or blue raspberry lemonade, or strawberry banana. I guess what I'm tryna say is two flavors mixed. Flavors you don't typically make.
The cornstarch keeps it from caking
Steve needs to Invest in a candy tumbler for all that hard candy đŹ!
We do have a kind of smaller one, but it needs electrical work done on it
Iâve got my mystery bag and blue raspberry ordered!
cream of tartar prevents sugar from crystallizing. lemon juice works too.
Hi Craig... Miss seeing you.đđ«
Your intro could be titled 'Zen and the Art of Candy- Making'. There's something very Zen about the whole process; maybe that's why yours is such an enticing channel. âŻïž
Lol
Hereâs your moment of zen! #jonstewart
13:26 It's not a mystery anymore. Lol
The one ingredient here that may concern you is cream of tartar. This ingredient is used as a binding agent to help ensure that everything sticks together to become a solid sheet of hard candy without having to rely on the use of corn syrup to get the job done
I miss Max...
Could you make a batch of super sour in mystery? That would be so cool đ
I love these videos! You guys should really consider making taffy, itâd be great content for CZcams and bring more exposure for the store! I would definitely order some, love the hard candy đ€ yâall are awesome
They have a lot of exposure. Why do you think taffy would make things take off? They wouldn't even be able to keep up with demand
To much variety. To few ppl. Store @ 110 yrs old. No taffy.
From what I understand, they canât keep up with demand! Taffy (as much as itâs my fav) would make the hard candies even more scarce!
I like candy as long as it is free from red dyes
Just think in a few years Copper and Greg will have arms like Steve. Cheers.
I hope on Halloween you guys where braking bad making blue candy. The start of this made me think of that.
Hmmm how about a blue colored candy that tastes like strawberry. Blue that tastes like red!
Why do you hand scoop the stuff in the beginning?
So funny I was just thinking about you guys today!!!! đ„°
I clicked it! I clicked it! @ TerriâŠ.Not da Mamma Not da Mamma!
I hear you Cooper with the Mystikal freestyle shoutout
Too keep sugars from crystalilizing, according to Google.
Why not just fill the chocolate first in all the molds and then put it on the shakerâŠless noise, less electric, more efficient
I think it would be easier to mix them up if you had a sack or something like it and you could just put all of it in it and just tumble it a bunch
I like hard candy, but i like it spicy/strong. Like with salmiac or chili.
We do sell ghost pepper candy!
Hei HCandy Team, congrats for non colored candy đđđđ
Canât the bottom of the corn syrup tub be poured until itâs the right weight or you canât pour it.
Lol. Old folks: I donât like root beer because it tastes like medicine. Also old folks: I want anise and clove candy.
If you made hard candy with tonic water with quinine in it.. Would it glow
Got me again! Ordered! Haha.
Wouldn't it be nice if max were to pop in one time and just say hello. Yes I love these guys but still miss him.
I'm curious as to how you will know if the many flavors of candy will be evenly mixed.
You don't know.
I make candy without corn syrup but vinegar instead. Am I doing it wrong? It tastes goodâŠ
Do you make taffy
Crackpot suggestion- raise the scale a few feet to prevent all that stooping over and lifting from floor height, and running hands thru a the running faucet located right next to the scale
Do you guys ever sing the candy man can
That would be great!
@@lisaglynn3121 Acapella style
Darn that shipping cost!! $52 to ship a bag of mystery hard candy to Canada. Not your doing I know, but I just can't justify that. booo hoooo
Could be worse, $100 to get here to England
Have you guys ever considered making sodas?
Hello. Can you make a candy copying the Mexican favorite treat called the "MANGOĂADA" Mango with a hint of lime and Tajin.đ I would so be your guinea pig! đ€
my mouth is watering just thinking about that combination. đ€€!!!!!!!
Question: when the candy is stretched on the hook, what is the hammering for? Just vibration that the contact area of the candy and hook get separated or is there some other super scientific reason?
That's it, you really hit the hook on the head with that one!
@@HerculesCandy thanks for confirming. There is so much to learn in your videos about Candy Making.
I know this has probably been asked a jabillion times but why is the hammer used when pulling the candy? Thank you!
To loosen
awesome intro!
Thanks!
Hey, -I- AM the MOM and I'm trying like heck to get my kids to watch you!
I just placed my order.
Have you ever made lemon and lime togeather
Last batch, they made some for the first time.
Shipping is so much, i figured living so close it would be cheaperđ€Łđ
#roadtrip
Please put some earplugs in !!! Iâm a 25 year Otolaryngologist. Guaranteed hearing loss !!! (Chocolate vibrate table)
Fake
You put words to make one fake word up
It's a real thing guys! Try googling before commenting.
I would so love to try it but I really hate I pineapple đ
Greg's face is priceless when they tell him about his favorite part đ â€ïž
You always get it all over your hands đ lol your hands are to hot so you need ice water to help it not stick on your hands.
Give hairnet boy a slouch hat please.
Did you guys taste the cotton candy! .? Kind of looked like the shot glasses didn't get filled all the way unless it was an illusion? It may have been! Lol
Maybe it would be a good idea to not put the tartar in for science. Some sort of candy could possibly be better flaky. I mean, think croissant. Worth testing!
Please don't tell my mom
Does anyone know why they tap the hook with the hammer?
The vibrations help keep the candy from sticking to the hook :)
@@valeriemattice7225 Oh, that makes sense! Thank you đ
You need a small portable cement mixer to mix that up
đ
It allows the sugers not to become hard tack and brittle, like glass
we need a scientist to figure out why he can't do the no stick jutsu
I found the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! check this out!!!!!!!!!!! the reason why cream of tartar is used for making homemade hard candy is!!!!!!! because it helps prevent the creation of sugar crystals!!!!!!!! đ
