The environment, is usually hot and sweaty (especially in the summer, it’s very rare that a kitchen has air conditioning) the work is tiring, long, and brutal with lots of lifting and manual labor. You’re coworkers are the ones who can make it or break it for you. If management is awesome, and your coworkers are great, and your doing the work because you like doing it, then the rest of the tiring stuff makes it worth it. Idk if I’d call it “the best” because some days in a kitchen are still trying. But definitely all the other stuff makes it easier!
You guys should test covering the peanut butter creams in the ruby chocolate since the ruby chocolate has a kind of berry flavor to it. See if it tastes like peanut butter and jelly. Just an idea.
When you're making a recipe that calls for an entire jar of pb, you can leave the jar in a bowl of hot tap water for a while to make it runny and easier to get it all out
I have been here lurking since the start, and man your filming skills and editing skills are making the videos so interesting and give it a nice change of pace. GJ :) wish I lived in the USA so I could buy some goodies
It’s hard to say but I’m looking forward to trying the assorted chocolates. My partner is bringing my order to the UK from a work trip, hoping he doesn’t eat any on the way!
LOL! Craig, I’m 72 years old and MY mother always told me if I didn’t stop making faces my face would freeze that way! 😝😂🤣 I wonder how long that has been a parental threat? 🥰. Love you guys and the entertaining videos. 👍
I clicked on this video having no clue it was an hour long, didn’t even notice until after I watched it and it’s past midnight now 😂😂 well worth the time
Craig, you are a wonderful videographer, keep it up. So soothing to watch all of you at Hercules, just good people, love you. I am now finishing up my first Hercules order, pacing myself, it taste so much better than you can imagine.
I just want to thank you guys! I've been watching a lot of your videos over the past year, and the atmosphere of these videos is just so cozy and nostalgic and safe-feeling. This channel is something special!
Happy Wednesday. The editing is amazing once again. I love when creams are being made. It’s so relaxing. I use to wonder the same thing Max with the “E” thing. E for excellent, S for satisfied U for unsatisfactory. This video is gets an EE. Extra excellent.
I’ve been watching these videos for a long time and I have to say I really appreciate the growth in the editing and assembly of the videos over time. It’s enough of each step to see what happens without anything ever dragging. 👍👍
Greg from Lofty Pursuits?! I grew up in Tallahassee and when I moved away last summer, LP was one of the last places I visited. THE best handmade candies.
I don't know what it is, but something about the sound of the form plate pressing into the corn starch is immensely satisfying to me. Love all your videos! Thanks for being amazing!
Boot and bonnet of the car, instead of trunk and hood. Yup. Bin is the garbage. I get into trouble when I ask 'how did you get on?', meaning 'how did it go?', 'how did you get along with that... thing that you did?' lol
You wonderful/Mean man. I am trying to lose wait and those peanut butter creams are making it so hard to stay on my diet. Love the video and just subscribed. Have a great and prosperous Easter!!!!
Oooh, know something you guys could try . . . Irish Potato Candy. Just 1 avg-lg potato, 8+ cups confectioner's sugar (mix in sugar with the tater slowly until it becomes like a dough), roll out with a pin, spread the PB over it, then roll it up before cutting into sections (like a cinnamon roll) and serve. Great stuff.
You could add a layer of marshmallow cream. I don't know if anyone else has ever had that on a peanut butter sandwich, but it is awesome. Also, you could use slightly less of the peanut cream filling and make up the difference by heating up Nutella and then injecting each egg with a delicious center. Or you could inject a fruit gel for a PB&J feel. It would take longer, but you could crumble up some pretzels and do the cream in two layers and sprinkle the pretzel bits in between.
Got my order yesterday....Cookie Bark, peanut brittle, lemonade candy, and chocolate pretzels!! Everything was amazing!! Keep up the good work...I love watching you guys make candy..its so relaxing
I have been watching you guys since the very beginning. It is so amazing to think back on where yall started and where you are now. Im so happy to see the evolution and to see your family doing so well. Best wishes from Chattanooga, TN. 😊
I holler everytime max gets in his dropping stance 😂😂😂 oh i love it... Craig ur little news bit at the break table was pretty darn funny too lol... Nice to see ya guys!
Random commenters: why don't you put a hot plate in the starch room? Me: a source of heat and potential ignition source in a starch room?!?! Ya want an explosion???
Love watching u guys. Always want to put in an order. Just fyi watching u try to dig out all the peanut butter, when u get down low u can microwave for just a minute or so and it will pour out. Thought ud like to try it.
The peanut butter cream eggs look delicious! Nice that you keep tweaking certain candy recipes to improve the flavors! Max is doing a fine job! Will probably put in an order soon for Easter! Nice to see Karen. Great video, Craig and Dylan! That ending breaking news snippet! 🤣🤣🤣
I just ordered hard candy and the spice hard candy a couple days ago and it came in today! I’m in love! I’m disappointed that I found y’all a year ago and it took me this long to buy y’all’s candy. I’m definitely gonna be placing another order with my next paycheck 😂❤️ 10/10 Y’all keep up the great work!!!
Your shots are getting better and better! Honestly using some of those to make a mini commercial / marketing video for the product on Insta or your e-commerce could really help move some product!
I have questions. 1 Can I use fresh fruit juice to flavor the creams , instead of flavoring liquids? 2. Along the same lines, can I use the peel of fresh fruit in the creams or the chocolate? 3. Can candied fruits and/or peels be used in the creams and the chocolate? 4. I know that I can use the candied peels on top of the finished product, but, it just seems other than dipping it into chocolate, there is so much more to explore in great tasting food. I love how your family and friends work together! I can't wait until the stimulus checks come... cause ordering from you is tpo of my wish list! Thank you! Janet
25:51 also, starch flying around is *EXTREMELY* flammable and there have even been factories that have exploded because of a spark in a room full of flour/starch dust. So, if you ever had a hot plate in there, *DEFINITELY* nothing that has flames or can cause sparks.
Wow the peanut butter middle stirring is so tranquil to watch. You people are the best......from basement to building.......I am tearing up now. You have no idea how much watching your videos has saved me since july of 2019. Thank you so much........😊💞😊
I remember watching you guys make candy in the basement ❤️ I’m so proud of all of you as a family.. you guys have came so far.. and I will always love this channel 🙃🙂
One way to keep an eye on a conveyor belt I've seen was to mount a mirror at an angle towards it so at a glance you could tell what it was doing especially from the opposite end.
Hello - another great video! I am now subscribed and already looking forward to the next one. I love you guys! Max is awesome! I love hearing all the chat between you all during the videos especially all the school memories. Really want to order some yummy creams soon. Xxx
Thinking eggs are white (choc!) can be tie-dyed then!? Ruby over truffle, white over lemon, dark over anything, same with tie-dyed and milk. Assorted eggs IN your chocolate baskets? White choc baskets, Ruby too? Very pretty combinations possible. Tie-dyed using full/partial marbling .
Boot insteat of trunk--it's not just the Brits who use the term, guys. Our Southern peeps also use it. Especially those in the central South, like Kentucky, Tennessee, etc. Must come from the Scot/Irish/Brit heritage of the original settlers. Just a bit of FYI for you guys. Love the vids. Keep up the great content. Love to watch even though I can't have the candy.
"Is this for your little TH-cam" LOL
Typical mom comment, gotta love her.
Lmao yeah
“Little” yet nearly 1 million subs
The absolute best work environment ever. Hands down.
I can agree with that
The environment, is usually hot and sweaty (especially in the summer, it’s very rare that a kitchen has air conditioning) the work is tiring, long, and brutal with lots of lifting and manual labor. You’re coworkers are the ones who can make it or break it for you. If management is awesome, and your coworkers are great, and your doing the work because you like doing it, then the rest of the tiring stuff makes it worth it. Idk if I’d call it “the best” because some days in a kitchen are still trying. But definitely all the other stuff makes it easier!
@@Kieorasama the good definitely outweighs the bad and as you so rightly say co-workers make the bad days a little easier
Yes it is or at lest seems like it
I wish i worked there. Id down grade my budget to work here.
You guys should test covering the peanut butter creams in the ruby chocolate since the ruby chocolate has a kind of berry flavor to it. See if it tastes like peanut butter and jelly. Just an idea.
WOW oh YES
YYYEEESSSSS!!!!
Vhhghhhgvbbbjh
I'd definitely want some of these! Lol
@@bobbyc1983 Right lol
When you're making a recipe that calls for an entire jar of pb, you can leave the jar in a bowl of hot tap water for a while to make it runny and easier to get it all out
I was thinking why dont they warm it also... very slightly to make it slide out.
@@crazycatlady19691 maybe an extra step not worth the time? idk
@@heyitsLOOOU less than 1 minute of advanced prep to save many minutes later
The care and dedication Karen gives each candy she wraps is amazing.
Well that was probably the most satisfying intro ever.
Your little news break was adorable. I love your mom. And your description as "former child". Lol
I have been here lurking since the start, and man your filming skills and editing skills are making the videos so interesting and give it a nice change of pace. GJ :) wish I lived in the USA so I could buy some goodies
Thanks so much, I wish you could order too! 😭
Here's one more, would've ordered so much goodies for easter if I only could..
The best edit ever was some toy car “drone footage” on the way to some festival Hahahaha I literally died.,
@@paigesteele4406 ooo send me the link 😂

Made my first order and included one of these, nice to see it being made!
Ohhh do you have a favorite item from your order?
It’s hard to say but I’m looking forward to trying the assorted chocolates. My partner is bringing my order to the UK from a work trip, hoping he doesn’t eat any on the way!
@@graemethatsme The ultimate test of one's relationship 😂
The news segment was sublime.
haha why thank you Johan
The “former child” title was priceless 😂
LOL! Craig, I’m 72 years old and MY mother always told me if I didn’t stop making faces my face would freeze that way! 😝😂🤣 I wonder how long that has been a parental threat? 🥰. Love you guys and the entertaining videos. 👍
Who else thinks it's satisfying when they scoop the corn syrup?😅😅
They look like silicone breast implants
Idk why but the tiny one he did was satisfying to me
Yeah they look like alien brains
Favourite part
This must be the most satisfying job ever. Y’all work so hard but it never really seems like you are.
You should put a thin layer of the marshmallow filling in the peanut butter part and call them "Fluffernutter Eggs". Yum!
I clicked on this video having no clue it was an hour long, didn’t even notice until after I watched it and it’s past midnight now 😂😂 well worth the time
Shite i only saw now that's it's an hr long. Thanx 😂😂 i need to sleep
So excited to see creams! And the editing is off the charts! Keep it up Craig and Dylan
Thanks Carol!
Craig, you are a wonderful videographer, keep it up. So soothing to watch all of you at Hercules, just good people, love you. I am now finishing up my first Hercules order, pacing myself, it taste so much better than you can imagine.
That intro was fantastic!
The handprints left in the corn syrup when it goes into the kettle are nifty.
Very satisfying
Hot plate in the starch room is probably a risk for a dust explosion also.
The most calmest family I know. Especially working together. Goal for sure.
Craig: " Look how close to the edge it gets"
Max: " Yeah...me too!"
Don't think we've ever seen Max go over the edge.
Wow how lovely, greetings from Edinburgh Scotland 🏴
I just want to thank you guys! I've been watching a lot of your videos over the past year, and the atmosphere of these videos is just so cozy and nostalgic and safe-feeling. This channel is something special!

Wow, thank Ms. Jays for such a good grade!
As soon as I’ve moved I’m ordering off you don’t care about the postage 🇬🇧
Another great video x
It's so amazing that candy is still made by hand. Part of the process is very similar to the way I was taught by my mother. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve been watching these videos for a long time and I have to say I really appreciate the growth in the editing and assembly of the videos over time. It’s enough of each step to see what happens without anything ever dragging. 👍👍
The wrapping sequence is my favorite not gonna lie. Her voice is so soothing lol
Wow peanut butter cream eggs!
Craig and Max together is the best. THE NEWS breaks was hilarious, The Gumby tie on the former child!🤣
I haven't tuned into a vid for a moment, maybe like 4-5months, and this production quality on the intro is insane! Super pleasant to watch
Why thank you!
@@HerculesCandy thank you as well of course :) thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing

Hi guys you guys are seriously the best ever you guys carm me down when I have test and exams thanks soooo much
Awww we're here for you Sonja!
@@HerculesCandy thanks
@@HerculesCandy you realy are the best though
Boot and bonnet of the car, instead of trunk and hood. Yup. Bin is the garbage. I get into trouble when I ask 'how did you get on?', meaning 'how did it go?', 'how did you get along with that... thing that you did?' lol
Watching the cream come out of the creamer machine is beyond satisfying. I rewatch all the cream making content over and over lol
Stay tuned for more cream Easter egg videos coming soon!
Jif Peanut butter also comes wholesale in 4lb metal cans, and 35 lb plastic buckets
Where do you get the 35 lb buckets? I get the 4 lb ones but never seen a larger container!
I never get tired of watching the candy making process. I am happy you went with the peanut butter cremes
I just ordered a bunch of candy and these are one of the things I ordered...I can't wait!
BEST INTRO EVERRRRR!! I love asmr videos and I like how you did the sounds and the angles
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Coming up on a full year of watching your vids, love every one of them!
I love watching your channel. I'm sure we will take a road trip out there real soon. Can't wait.
I hope you can soon too!
You wonderful/Mean man. I am trying to lose wait and those peanut butter creams are making it so hard to stay on my diet. Love the video and just subscribed. Have a great and prosperous Easter!!!!
the fact that everything is made with so much effort and love is honestly so beautiful and gives me more hope in humanity.
It’s not a Hercules candy video without Max making sounds as he lifts the kettle 🙂

Love the DIY enrober repairs, creative thinking is priceless. Craig, your hair looks great, let it grow!
I have been watching you guys since the very beginning. It is so amazing to think back on where yall started and where you are now. Im so happy to see the evolution and to see your family doing so well. Best wishes from Chattanooga, TN. 😊
Glad to see you're using Jiff peanut butter. It's the only peanut butter I use when I make Buckeyes and peanut butter cups at Christmas time.
Oh my goodness the chocolate peanut butter eggs look fantastic.
I holler everytime max gets in his dropping stance 😂😂😂 oh i love it... Craig ur little news bit at the break table was pretty darn funny too lol... Nice to see ya guys!
Loved loved loved the news, I am indeed subscribed, loving the hair Craig 😉
Thank you and thank you Lesley!
Random commenters: why don't you put a hot plate in the starch room?
Me: a source of heat and potential ignition source in a starch room?!?! Ya want an explosion???
Yeeeessss!! Corn Starch will not only burn, it explodes violently.
Once I caught my boys trying to cause a flour explosion in a 5 gallon bucket. Fortunately, I caught them before they had figured out all the details
Love watching u guys. Always want to put in an order. Just fyi watching u try to dig out all the peanut butter, when u get down low u can microwave for just a minute or so and it will pour out. Thought ud like to try it.
The amount of love and work going into each candy is amazing. Keep up the good job.
Why is this stuff so satisfying! Like every time I watch it, I love the jokes they tell, and I get mesmerized in what is going on.
@48:24
Candy Lady: But nobody eats that big an egg anymore
Me: Hold my milk
The peanut butter cream eggs look delicious! Nice that you keep tweaking certain candy recipes to improve the flavors! Max is doing a fine job! Will probably put in an order soon for Easter! Nice to see Karen. Great video, Craig and Dylan! That ending breaking news snippet! 🤣🤣🤣

Peanut buttercream is a very delicious diet. This video is too much helpful.
You and your mom with the green screen was funny! Definitely subbed!
Thank you Hercules Candy. Your video's are great.
Thank you guys for the Tommy Boy reference, that’s my FAVORITE movie EVER!

Is this for your little TH-cam channel. TOTALLY loved it.🤪😜😛😝🤪😜🙂🙂
Your intros to these vids are so well done. Very impressive!!
Thank you!
Im glad you guys don't do the edits all the time, but it does make the occasional video a lot more fun to watch!

My order is arriving today AND I get a new video of Max dropping creams?! Time to play the lottery!
He is the best candy man ever! Would never have any issues eating any candy 🍭 he makes!
The peanut butter marshmallow creams are the best!
Hahaha, that news segment had me creased with laughter. I love the dynamic of the workplace and the family banter.
Have you guys made an asmr candy making video? Nothing but candy making noises and filmed in an aesthetically pleasing way
Yes we have, just type in Hercules Candy ASMR
*WOW* !! That was some _smooth_ intro Craig!! 👌🏻😎
Love the slo mo stuff Been subbed since they’ve been making candy in the basement 💯💯
Thanks for supporting us for so long Andrew!
Been watching for 2 years now and I just am amazed how much I learned and would love to be in this field of work!!!
I’m so glad I found this! You have me hooked!
The breaking news worked. I am committed and have subscribed! Love your videos.
Love watching y'all work in the starch room. I love watching all the Easter candy making videos every year . 💖
That looks so good. Easter is right around the corner.
I Love watching you guys work together.
I’m watching in Melbourne Australia at 6:20 AM before working from home and it’s been the perfect start to my day!
Thinking eggs are white (choc!) can be tie-dyed then!? Ruby over truffle, white over lemon, dark over anything, same with tie-dyed and milk. Assorted eggs IN your chocolate baskets? White choc baskets, Ruby too? Very pretty combinations possible. Tie-dyed using full/partial marbling .

Thank you so much for sharing how candy is made. I love your videos and will be ordering some of your delectable confections!
I could watch an hour just of Karen, honestly
Same. I love watching her package stuff it gives me major ASMR!
Yeah extremely relaxing
Same! I actually fast forward through the video Sometimes to get to her!
You don't hear that everyday 😅
She is so nice:) I enjoy seeing all these hardworking people! You can see they have a passion for making candy:)
