***WARNING***This video is made for educational and entertainment purposes only, if you attempt to make this at home you do so at your own risk and we can not be held responsible for any injuries. Making hard candy is a dangerous process since such high temperature are used to make it. With that said, for those that are curious and want specifics this is how we make it.
For one full size batch we combine into a copper kettle 7 pounds of corn syrup, 14 pounds of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar and 2 quarts of water. We heat it up to 310°F, then add the flavoring oil before removing it from the stove and pouring it onto the marble table to cool down. Here we add in color and flavoring oil before stretching it on the hook. We stretch it to add in air bubbles which turns it white. We combine the stripes into the body and put it through our fancy candy cutter, then we just wait for it to cool down and bag it up for you to buy!
**IF YOU LIVE IN A WARM CLIMATE OR *SOUTH OF KENTUCKY/WEST VIRGINIA OR WEST OF WISCONSIN/ILLINOIS AND PLACE AN ORDER WITH CHOCOLATE PLEASE READ THIS***
Please pick second day air with a cold pack, if you don't we will have to call you and tell you that you need it. Although we love talking to our customers we just don't have the time to do that. So please help us help you get your order as quickly and painlessly as possible.

For the people wondering why we use our hands to put the corn syrup into the kettle it would stick to gloves or a ladle too much if we did that, trust us we've tried. Also the health code regulations that we abide by have determined that it is more than safe for us to do so without gloves because we then heat the candy up to 310ºF or 154ºC. As for the people worrying that Max didn't use soap when "washing his hands," he actually wasn't washing his hands, corn syrup isn't unsanitary or pathogenic, he was just rinsing the corn syrup off of his hands. And the reason he was rinsing his hands in between grabbing the corn syrup is because if you rinse your hands under cold water then corn syrup won't stick to your hands very much. The more you know 🌈🌠
my mouth was watering the whole 50 min vid haha
i need candy now.
Thanks for informing me.
30:10 the point is that he touches rusty bar and then the candy 🤔

the conversation makes me feel like the adults are talking at thanksgiving
Omg yess thats what it reminds me of lol
Hi I Like horses 🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎
Keeping it casual without the acting bullshit
@@cowgirldeiaco5180 ok hi
It’s probably because their ignoring the camera and that’s what happened at the thanksgiving table
Atleast there was a conversation going on instead of a boring music.
Or that shitty, overused no copyrighted music
The conversations is actually entretaining.
@@eatlinen3792 right, like there are so many actual good no copyright songs, but they all choose the same ones
I don't understand why people don't listen to '80s music anymore! It's so entertaining for me. But I loved the conversations they were kind of like an learning experience. Kind of calming too! 😊
As an avid people watcher, listening to a natural conversation is literally so soothing for me, this whole video just radiates vibes of hospitality and I love it
Wow even I love observing people.people watcher ...is that even a thing. It really soothes my mind
So...I have a question. You watch people often?...
@@dmqbassguy2434 I look really sad responding right when you responded but oh well...
Yeah basically I find it really interesting to see how people live their daily lives in just a glimpse. If something happens, a loud noise or something for example, I like seeing how people react to it. I dunno something in my brain just really likes feeling “distant” from my own life by focusing my mind on others. Hearing other people’s conversations, watching someone listen to music, seeing someone mimic facial expressions as they read them in a book. It’s difficult to explain but it’s just really calming and interesting to me
just good ol family business convos lol
@@threeisaparty_5944 You explained that so well. I feel the same way about people watching

true
Why are everybody so surprised with the amount of sugar?
what did they expect? lol wtf😂
I know. its 3 bags of sugar that makes thousands of pieces of candy. People need to think.
I mean... Do people not know that normal hardcandy basically is pure sugar?
@@eltontv6002 original coke recipe has a lot of sugar though about 30 lb in 1 quart boiling water
minecraft is the best game ever
@Alexandra Zhupanov sugar free is worse. It's artificial sugar that causes more harm than real sugar.
Them having a whole conversation:
Me listening: 👁👄👁

ik right haha I think they are family but idk
I honestly love seeing people just have a non forced, happy conversation. No music, no edits just people happy to have a job :)

The fact that these people are doing all the work by hand instead of machine shows how much love and dedication they put into making this candy! #respect

This videos obviously fake it was all scripted
These replies are garbage.

It shows how much germs are being spread also witb no gloves
I love the Hard Candy making process.. It's satisfying..and Max is so cute. 😝

It's funny how it's called "How it's made" like we could actually make this.
Me trying to study for my finals
Also me watching a 48 minute long video about candy
48....
On me I have ela,math,and a essay to do
me: not caring
Same
You guys didn’t start the summer holiday !! In Saudi Arabia we started it 1 month ago!!
This was the first ever video I've seen from Hercules Candy and since then I can't stop watching your videos
Why was this random conversation between friends while working and making candy so calming like i could fall asleep to this it’s comforting kind of like being a kid in the back of a car and adults are having a conversation you don’t understand but it’s so nice
If he pours the *whole bag* of sugar in
Omfg he poured the whole bag in
*cue another one*
He hit me with diabetes
Cant forget about those *8 taps*
That’s a “big oof”...maybe I should just stop here
How many servings is that tho?
So no one's gonna talk about how we were listening to a random conversation for 48 minutes._.
Blueberry apparently not
《Čløudly Čæn》 it was actually soothing to listen and watch them make the candy😭😂
Nope
Its a pretty interesting one
x Blueberry x they’re a husband wife and son (filming) and the worker Max. the family owns a candy store in upstate NY and all their videos are like this. I love it I find them soothing. Xo
I love how they just talk to eachother normally and just talk with eachother. It feels natural
I need to find out if you ever did dual flavor hard candies. The moment I heard that I started thinking about it. Orange creamsicle, root beer floats, key lime pie, margarita, Strawberry Shortcake, coffee and cream Bourbon and Coke where are some ideas I had
I was thinking peanut butter and grape (jelly) or strawberry
I thought of lemon & raspberry
Red Crush cream soda & Black currant. Make it red with the stripe.
Chocolate lime is really good & very popular in the UK. Sweet & just a little bit sour too. Our chocolate limes are typically hard lime on the outside & the inside chocolate part is slightly crumbly so there's a textural difference too. An old fashioned favourite.
I swear i wanted to take a big bite of that soft candy while they were mixing it.
Same lmao thought I was the only one
Omg me too looked so freaking good!!😍
Halyfasa
But like 3rd degree burns lmao
Same fr
Why is everyone thinking all that sugar is in *ONE PIECE OF CANDY*
Calm down its not
Yes it is. I saw it at 24:20 One giant piece of candy.
What do people think candy is made out of I'm confused
Nah fam it can totally be in one piece of candy ...world's biggest piece of candy
Lmao ikr. This batch is much much much larger than the ones I make at home. My recipe takes 6 cups at least but it makes a pound and a half of candy.
Margalus it gets stretched- 🤦♀️
I hadn’t heard of you guys up until like 4 days ago... and i can’t stop watching these videos. I’m mesmerized by it tbh 😂 I’m ordering something FOR SURE!! Keep making the videos, this is dope.
What have you ordered what’s your favorite?
I remember trying to “walk a baby out” at a local mall ... they had a fudge store that made their fudge on the corner and you could watch the whole process of them making it and cooling it on huge marble tables!! Brings back good memories!!! I have been binge watching while doing my time here in the hospital. Thank you very much!
I could listen to that old man mix that candy on the table for hours. That's a man that is in no rush and is taking pride in his technique
Strangely relaxing lol.
Ah yes, the ASMR powers of old man Steve ^_^
They all laugh simultaneously lol it’s like someone pressing a laughing crowd button at times
Steve is so sweet it makes me want to cry. He just shyly does whatever Terri says. He’s adorable
What happens if you just. Bite the soft blob of candy
You go to heaven
Me: no way in hell I watch 48 minutes of candy being made
Also Me: *watches entire video*
@King C yeah, they made candy.
Same with me, I was like aw man im surely not watching this whole thing, and here i am at the end of the video lol
@@Finch000 same 😂👌
Well u get about 5 mins in and you have to see how they finish lmao I did the same thing
Obviously you want a job here 😊
Love how there just casually having a conversation at the beginning of the video💀😂
Yeah.. they're not android's
For tho🤣🤣🤣

Just so you know I have android and you can have conversations I bet you have apple I mean you buy it for the name when android last longer typically
@@bootysniffer420 I don't think thats what they meant by "android"
this was a very cool process. i enjoyed watching every bit of it. would love to try one of these candies or even sit in on the process live. thanks for the content. you guys rock!
Recently started watching and iv got to give it to you guys, you seem so chilled out its unreal, from what iv seen in the UK people stress far too much in this sort of work but to see you guys just chipping away till the day is done, it gives me joy yi know that your Candy's (hard boil sweets) are made with such love, care, and attention to detail, that j you guys you have even gilled in the secrets iv been looking for, for many years, but now I know I'll be attempting to use some of then to make myself and partner some "adult candy"
I feel like if I breathe in deep enough, I can smell the watermelon...
@Zara Beasley sjahzlxvlzbsqo lcj. Bdlqefvhfj

Yeah but not that strong

All that candy looks delicious I love watching them make candy so much fun to watch
Me trying to listen to what there talking about and thinking they sound like when my parents are talking on Christmas and me waiting for like two hours for them to finish so we can open presents 👁👄👁
Haha lol
Stay safe!!💕
👁👄👁
LMAO SAME I GOTTA WAIT TILL SOME FRIGGEN 8:00
My family opens presents on christmas eve so we can spend the next day eating and vibing.
I love to read the comments and people like:
*wow... they used lots of sugar to make a candy*
Yeah, lol like did u think candy wasn't sweet?
@@gaylagao1174 ye but putting 10 pounds of sugar ...
@@genface7828 candy is just sugar
Candy is MADE of sugar LOL.
It’s like
*wow....they used money to buy things*
I was watching all of these candy one, taiwanese shop, and street candy videos... I very quickly realized that what i like about your videos is the conversation and the family dynamic:) There is nothing worse than seeing people work fast in silence:/, im glad you are all making candy 🍬 content i love to watch🥰
These people are super nice!!! I bought a bag of watermelon and grape. I actually had to specially requested separate from the fruit and medley pack, which they gave me a heads up when they were making after expressing interest for a couple months. They also included one of each of the fruit medley flavors, a pen, and a magnet, which was super awesome. It all tasted amazing and I would gladly order from them again. Their candy is just the right amount of flavor that last from start to finish. Kudos on the amazing candies and keep up the great work!!!!!
Ps. It was because of this video I bought their candy ;)
Am I the only person who thinks this is satisfying and like a podcast or smt in the background
I thought it was satisfying
I almost fell a sleep
I feel like i was working with them and didn't even get paid for it
Kasfi
No
And no lunch break smh
These types of work places are the best, having fun, laughing at each other, and being a friendly enviroment
Them: having a full random conversation
Me: oh yeaaa I’m into this atleast they not sitting in silence working
I think Cotton Candy would be a interesting flavor. The blue and pink would be a pretty color combination
Cotton Candy is just raspberry flavoured, except without the acidity.
Avi Zinder really that’s crazy I can’t stand raspberry but obsessed with cotton candy lol
Kyle that's a good idea and Avi I had no idea, thank you for learnin me. The more you know 🌈🌠
Kyle...lets be a little more manly with our PRETTY COLOR CANDY comments Ok
@@HerculesCandy please do cotton candy flavor
I love how they’re just vibin
whats your insta?
Even two years later you have no idea how much y’all level out my anxiety I love this channel so much
I love the sound of them balling up
the corn syrup and tossing it in the kettle.
What about cherry limeade candy? Like sour lime on the outside and sweet cherry on the inside
CHERRY LIME!
That... actually sounds pretty good......god damnit now I want to try that thanks. Much sad such hmmm
thats sounds like a gfuel flavor
@@monkeyviii5049 cherry limeade has been around a lot longer than gfuel
@@JoeBlow-ub1us yeah but as i hear it gfuel is what comes to my mind first😅
I’ve taken candy for granted for so long lol never thought it took so much hard work
Newly found respect for candy makers
99% of times it's machine made. Unless it's some fancy brand. All the big companies have it machined.
It's time consuming to make by hand but it's a very fast paced and satisfying process to make candy. It's one of my favorite things to do!
This is probably expensive candy

TH-cam : NO

PSA: Please don’t come at them, because trust me they know way more than we do, and their candy store wouldn’t be open/run for decades upon decades, if they don’t follow all of the general health codes!! Thank you
