💑 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 finally ordered some chocolate and fruity candy from y'all last week! I was super nervous that it would be melted/broken even though I added the cold pack.
Everything was great! The packing was wonderful and even though the cold pack was room temp by the time I was able to grab the package, everything was intact.
The chocolate is so delicoous and creamy + the covered potato chips are amazing! I can't wait to order more from you guys!
Thanks so much Kat, I'm glad you enjoyed everything so much!
May I ask what State you are in ? And what postage you used ? Thanks
@@elizabethcave7666 I'm in Illinois and did FedEx Ground: Home Delivery (which was exactly two days for me)
Another great video as always! Love the new flavors! OMG a Hercules day out, no way, that would be amazing! I LOVE ALL OF YOU!! 💝
I love the sound of the liquid candy coming out of the kettle and hitting the table
The colors are beautiful. I can only imagine the taste is equally awesome
Some sounds just never get old!
Love seeing the boys working on something new! Hercules crew never disappoints. 👏👍😎
Thanks Laura!
Definitely think adding a vanilla filling will make the candy stand up to the name!
True!
Last summer I made peach jam, but I added a teaspoon of almond extract and it tasted like peach amaretto! My kids went nuts because they remembered when I made it when they were little and one test took them right back to their childhood!
Ooohhh, that peach jam would be great with vanilla ice cream.
Peach jam - never tasted that!
But the other evening I had a pound of strawberries left - now I have two glasses of strawberry jam, and it is good too!
I was so sad that Max left, but I love Cooper and Greg 😊
I love watching my Hercules candies videos! I have been watching you guys for several years now and I am never disappointed. The new guys are great today they are making Peach melba! Rock on dudes love your tattoos.
I love your videos! The banter between the staff is fun and watching the process is so interesting. I'm on the notification list for your spice hard candy and the Autumn mix. I haven't been able to find the spice-flavored hard candies in years and they are my favorite. I've subscribed to your channel and will place an order soon. (I'd much rather buy from you than purchase candy from a conglomerate.). I plan to buy candy from you for upcoming birthdays and holidays. If I hadn't caught one of you videos I would never have known about you. I'm glad I did. 😄
I really enjoyed the video that you guys do I love watching all the sweet stuff that you guys make eventually when things get better it's me and my family and when I have the money I'm going to buy some candy but right now I can't because we are in the process of moving. looking forward to the next video and see what you guys make next
Great history lesson about the Savoy Hotel and Nellie Melba.
I still love the Strawberry Lemonade hard candies though. Well, all of your hard candies really. I haven't tasted a flavor I didn't like. Thank you all for your hard work making candy and posting the videyas. ❤️❤️❤️
Gosh this channel is just comfort food for my brain, it's so peaceful and relaxing but also funny and informative. Reminds me of my grandfather's sugar bush where they make maple syrup. It's just nice to see people who really like their jobs doing something that brings so much joy.
I love your videos! It's fascinating to watch them being made. I've bookmarked your website and requested notification when you make a batch of spice flavored hard candy. It's always been my favorite flavor and I haven't found it anywhere else. You are going to be my holiday go to site for shopping starting in October or November.
Keep the videos coming! 😄
It’s a good thing that ‘Quick Steve’ leaves other trained staff to do the job he did regularly when I first started watching u guys way back when in the house basement…. I love those video’s in the house 🏠
Love from me in UK 🍬🤍🍭
Yeah, otherwise we wouldn't be able to make the hard candy as often as we do!
We have choc limes boiled sweets in UK so if the choc ones go down well it could be a consideration to add the lime to it so it’s half n half like the peach Melba. Just a thought :)
Yesss new Hercules video!!!!
What a good teaching moment on the hook! Good job!
I love Cooper's candy turtle it's so cute and I love the sound of hard candy being mixed together it's ASMR for me
I love when he makes a new candy creation!
Love the discussion about Buffalo! Come out and see us in Western NY!
I love watching you guys make candy, big hello from England!!
Thanks Vanessa! Big hello from the states!
Chocolate and raspberry is my favorite! Yum...please make that! 😀
that raspberry color when pulled looked like a raspberry sorbet. absolutely fantastic
There is just something so mesmerizing about watching candy making.
Definitely want to see a video of a company trip to the Falls or somewhere!!!
Colors are gorgeous
Since the peach Melba is a vanilla ice cream dessert - trying the beach Melba with cheesecake might be pretty close! Great vid! I love your stuff - all of it ☺️
The reason the hard candy lasts so long is the flavors are so vibrant your sweet tooth is satisfied quickly. You don't need to eat more. 😋
That turtle is precious!
I mentioned peach during one of the last live chats...you listened. 💖 Too hot to place an order, even with the cold packs, else I'd be in your InBox.
U should try Ispahan, a french invented flavour commonly used for macaron. Raspberry, rose and lychee. peach would probably work in a twist too.
I actually ordered the fruit and friendly before the video came out! It arrived on Thursday, but I haven't opened it yet!
I would love to try the hard candies but shipping to Canada is crazy. 2 *16 ounce bags cost $51.00 US to ship. Alas, no hard candy for me.
To the netherlands it’s €80+ shipping…
That intro was beyond fab, great job everyone. Thanks for another fun vidya. Hi Craig.
Hercules road trip to Niagara Falls and Canada!!! You can take a huge truck if candy and hand out samples. You'll have to hire a hundred more people to keep up!
Definitely gotta try some Hercules candy. Can’t wait to get some.
I imagine the pitch meeting in the office going like this:
- "Let's make some yoghurt!"
- "Dude! We are making candy, remember?"
- "So let's make some candy flavored yoghurt!"
- "Still not working."
- "How about yoghurt flavored candy?"
- "Great idea!!"
Perfect!
You guys should definitely visit Niagara Falls. Stay the night any day during the week or weekend and see the fireworks they blow off and yes the light up both sides of the falls. It's absolutely beautiful. I live in a small city between Buffalo and Niagara falls.
Love Cooper's Critters🥰🐢🐸🐇
Never tried peach and raspberry together, but I love making cobbler that is peach and blackberry together. Now I have to try it with raspberries.
Ya know it would be irresponsible if you didn't at least give it a try!
That intro 😩😍. Ive been watching for years and thats just amazing
Thanks so much Robert!
I just finished my Watermelon hard candy just in time to try this new flavor!! Order placed!
Maybe the fruit and friendly needs a vanilla ice cream flavor... but if it has that wouldn't it also need root beer... the combos then .. geeze !!
I've been to Niagara Falls at night its breath taking, something everyone needs to Experience Atleast once.
Hello from IdahoFalls, Idaho. I'm back just to watch, cause I love hard work. I could watch it all day.
I like how Cooper goes HAMMER! And suddenly Mjolnir flies in haha
I've been on the Canadian side of the falls. You should go on the boat if you go. It's awesome. 😊
I know there's no smell vision yet, but I got a strong peach smell. WOW. It does smell good.
Looks like our smell-o-vision is finally working!
Now if you could just get the taste o vision up and running.
🤩 love this idea, now if you made one side cheesecake. ie raspberry cheesecake with peach 🍑. OMG and leave the peach partially pulled on the hook so it’s the colour of the outside of the peach. Oh send me a whole batch.
So great to be with you again. Do you ever use Monk Fruit or other plant derived healthy sweeteners?
No
Love this video. Another French dessert is Creme brulee. It consists of cooked cream and a crust of caramelised brown sugar. You could even go for the look: vanilla flavored whit candy with a topping of brown caramel candy. Pull that into stripes and cut it for hard candy. Or make candy canes for Christmas out of it. We usually eat it at Christmas since it is time consuming to boil the cream to the right consistence and it is also a high calory dessert.
Very interesting!
is there a reason you dont spread them in a linear fashion as you make the different flavors, seems they would mix easier and quicker than the different piles of flavors?
I bet this is delicious! There is a difference between Sprite and 7Up. I think that Sprite is sweeter, for one thing. I like them both.
Sprite has a hint taste of lemon.
you should try making a guava hard candy or even ribbon candy!
Need to make a peach jalapeño one!!😊
hey ya'll did the twisting of the rope candy stop? just curious ! coop you rock as a candy maker !
Peach Melba was made for an Australian opera singer Dame Nelly Melba and she lived outside of Melbourne by an Australian chef
Why can't Greg use the hard candy presser the way everyone else does. He makes such a mess and I miss the banging sound.
I agree.
should include a sweet cream flavor as well for proper.
Did he just say a shelf of Coop Critters?....that is awsome!
The Niagra Falls? Who knew?! Lol
Im literally planning a trip to Toronto for some baseball and will visit Buffalo and Hercules candies! Im also from MA like Coop!!
Hello Sirs
Soft tafee needs corn stratch
N glecyrine or not N wht portion
Percentage pls
Thk u
Lights are on the Canada side. Worth the trip. Great candy making guys….
i would think it would be peach, vanellia and rasberry. still would try as is😃
I never see citric acid being added. Do you guys not use it or is it mixed in with the flavorings?
How about Strawberry lemonade flavor… Black licorice sounds good too
Melba toast was also created for Nellie Melba. She apparently dieted often
I just received mine and I need peach Melba to have its own bag it is so good!!!!!!
Max never got control like these guys.
Have you guys made a "Cocktail" mix? Margarita, pina colada, screwdriver, that kind of thing.
They make pina colada
I live in Buffalo and have only been to the falls a couple of times but they're pretty! Especially at night.
I wanna order various candy so bad! But I live in Norway and sadly the shipping rate is too expensive for me :(
Hope that ill be able to visit the store myself one day. Then I don't need to fear things melting on the way either. :)
Love it
So, if you’d taken off a small amount of the unflavoured, uncoloured candy half and added vanilla, before adding the peach and yellow to the larger amount, along with the raspberry half, you’d have the full spectrum of peach Melba taste sensation in one candy.
Do those gloves leave fabric particles in the candy? I've always wondered this.
I feel like you could make a mixed bag of dessert flavours. Black forest cake, key lime pie, baked cheesecake, Peach Melba, tiramisu??
Oh, and strawberry ice-cream!
I like sprit but no so wild about 7up. They are definitely a different flavor
It would be so cool to have psychedelic colored mushroom candy.
Creamsicle~ orange and vanilla hard candy!
Ohhhh the sounds of the candy making…😋 music to my ears… wish I could. Have the same with the smell….. I WANT SMELL O VISION! 🤣🍬🍭(who’s with me?)
👍🏼💙🍬💙
Yep .. LOL .. I was thinking about SMELL~O~VISION earlier Today 🤭 .. It really would be cool 😎👌
You're almost right. It was named after Dame Nellie Melba, an Australian opera singer, not connected to Melbourne. All the best from Melbourne.
i live an hour south of buffalo and you guys are on the opposite side of the state from me i wish your shop was on the way to the falls
Tamarindo flavor please 😋 😍 👌
On a peach candy making think y'all should start peach rings 😂😂😂
I live in Alaska, can't deal with the cost of shipping, what a shame cause I really wanted to get some of your candy
There is a peach Melba drink, too. 😊
They light up the American and Canadian falls. Thanks for the plug of N. Falls.
So I guess the comment about the dessert sounding Australian wasn't entirely off, since it's named after an Australian.
I still think orange cream ribbons sounds really good
Hercules Candy road trip to Niagara? Please do it!!!!
i'd watch that!! #content
@@mariaj3263 👍
Very satisfying
Hmm 🤔 maybe have multiple fruit n friendly boxes..... No.1 would be flavors A,B,C, No.2 would be flavors X,Y,Z. Similar to what white claw does with their variety packs
when i first saw the colors my first thought was strawberry lemonade or something
I'm diabetic....watching this channel is sheer torture,but I can't help myself I am addicted 😅
Always the most satisfying intro's
Thanks so much!
Vanilla/Peach Two tone Ribbon filled with Rasberry filling
Sprite is a crisper citrus taste. Seven up is a softer flavor
Sweet show
Steve needs to give Greg a few more lessons in grabbing corn syrup. He hadn’t been able to master it without getting his hands sticky. He needs to be a little quicker with the release.
What kind of gloves do you use when working with hot hard candy?
I would like to know when the peach and raspberry is coming.
Can you please teach Greg how to use the candy presser correctly, it’s not the same as everyone else. 😭
