I'm almost 70, and I remember coconut brittle from my childhood, and the white coconut you used today looked like what was used way back then. That was the best brittle I've ever eaten, and sadly, never saw it again.
It’s funny you say that you had it and never saw it again I always find snacks or food that I love then I go to get it again and never find it anywhere I hate it that’s so funny to me that you mention that
At Christmas time, back in the 40's and 50's, my grandpa made peanut/coconut brittle. He called it PECO Brittle. It was delicious. He had a huge copper kettle, huge gas burner, and big wooden paddle. He'd pour the cooked mixture on a long marble table with a wooden edging to prevent overflow, then break it into pieces when it was cooked. This brings back some great memories.
If you made coconut and dried/dehydrated/freeze dryed pineapple brittle you could call it Tropical breeze, tropical sunset or a brittle colada (pina colada) It looked so yummy
yesss, i feel like even a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk over top, paired with, or mixed in the cooking process would also help with that flavor 😋
❤ your videos always make me so happy. I used to watch them with my dad before he passed, we started when you were still making candy out of your basement.
Morro’s Nut House in Lloyd Center in Portland Oregon in the 1960’s. They made their brittle in the front window. They used the large flaked coconut and added cashews; the brittle was the same color as their peanut brittle. It was fabulous! I’m getting close to recreating it myself
Literally, just got my FIRST order from Hercules Candy. I got the coconut brittle. Now it seems, I will have to try the toasted coconut brittle. I got a few different items but I’d better have some breakfast before I get into the candy. Love your videos. Looks like you really enjoy doing what you do. 🍭🍬
NAME FOR CANDY= "dream vacation" or "toasty dreams" or even "carribean dreams" or maybe "Island cremes" That's all I could think of right off the top of my head. Lol. I love your videos and love watching your family make candy. I'm from Oklahoma and I've made it a mission to come visit Hercules Candies some day.
This toasted coconut brittle looks brittlelicious 😭🙌🏽 Are you guys possibly going to do another “Random chocolate/white chocolate covered items”? Where it’s a mystery test
I'd really love to take you guys round Blackpool here in the UK so you can watch how its made on the seafronts! They used to do it all over in the 90's, but its a dying art these days. Still, would be good to get you guys here!
Just placed an order a couple days ago, guessing the Cocoanut Brittle I ordered was NOT the toasted...have to see when it arrives this week. Something to look forward to trying next time if not.
I’m 72 and remember making a similar candy, no coconut and it came out in a deeper pan so it looke and tasted like Crunchie ,it was good ! I love coconut so know this is too good !
This year, I was using a long candy thermometer(waiting on a new one to come) making jelly. It flipped out, hit me in the forearm but I couldn’t stop stirring. That was just in the 200s. Couldn’t imagine how bad a candy burn would be. I got a chemical burn on my face from cinnamon flavoring in hard candy. Had my face over the pot at the wrong time!
@@HerculesCandy I wasn’t gonna lose my jelly batch & I’ve never made cinnamon hard candy again. 😂I make plenty of other flavors at Christmas time, not cinnamon. My glasses saved my eyes. It looked like I got sunburned upside down.
Growing up in Johannesburg South Africa there was a company called Dick's that made delicious candy including a toasted coconut brittle that was my favourite. Can almost taste it now.
@@luzraji76 Dried pineapple would go with a tropical theme, but I’m not sure that the chewy texture would work in a brittle. Banana chips are very dry and crunchy, so should brittle well. But a white chocolate bark with dried pineapple, mango, and macadamias - yum!
Hello, I really enjoyed your video and have a couple questions if I may: 1) what temperature are you cooking that at? 2) How does it stay hot enough so that you can spread it out all across that counter top without getting hard? Best Regards RC
I just love peanut brittle... sadly I am no longer able to eat it... I used to make this when I was younger (sadly, in a microwave LOL) Im curious... when you add the baking soda, why does it expand?? And also, why do you stretch it out after you've smoothed it out???
I don't understand why y'alls brittle pours so thick on the table. Then you have to stretch it. When Mom and I made peanut brittle it poured way thinner and was full of bubbles and all we had to do is break it up. Color was a bit darker too.
I love coconut brittle I remember it as a child but I was really worried in the last video of Steve & Cara when the boil over happened they would be burnt I felt so sorry for Cara with her nervous laugh I also do this when I get scared and Steve got upset which is understandable but she wasn’t laughing to be laughing she was upset to knowing that batch was destroyed after all she is still learning something that Steve has been doing almost all his life 👍🏻 up to u Cara but the toasted flavor that can be added instead of adding the white coconut in then add just the toasted coconut right before u add the baking soda ?
I love the candies I have ordered from you guys!! Sadly the bag of brittle I got was like a bag of thin scabs hardly any peanuts and everything was almost see through. wont order that again
All i want is to buy all the different brittle flavours you have but i can't justify paying almost $100 just for postage to the UK. I've had really large items (toys) over 2kg and shipping with USPS was under $30.
those coconut flakes looked white. Like the toasted coconut marshmallows they have a golden color to the coconut. To toast coconut you can use the oven however I've always use my cast iron skillet and stir it till it's golden in color no oil needed, just stir it to keep from burning it. Are you just using toasted coconut flavoring?
Is there a sampler style box of the brittles. Would love to try slot of flavors but no way I could eat through a small bag of each. Plus shipping would cost almost as much as the candy. Putting my money towards stocking fillers hopefully next week.
OMG I've never had COCONUT brittle! Looked online BUT sold out 😞

I must order some!
Google/TH-cam has many recipes. I'm making it next week.
I'm almost 70, and I remember coconut brittle from my childhood, and the white coconut you used today looked like what was used way back then. That was the best brittle I've ever eaten, and sadly, never saw it again.
They ship almost everywhere..!!❤😊
I remember coconut and peanuts mixed together. The coconut was in chips like they put into this brittle. The best brittle ever. Can’t find it anymore.
Learn to make your own!
It’s funny you say that you had it and never saw it again I always find snacks or food that I love then I go to get it again and never find it anywhere I hate it that’s so funny to me that you mention that
I’m 68. I made some of my gramma’s brittle the other day! Love the memories it brings.

I also make candy for a living and enjoy coming home to watch your videos after a day of making candies!
Great video! The cutest part was when you taste tested it. All we could hear was crunching all around. Thanks for sharing.

Poor Scott, Julia is definitely the bully (and Craig!)😂
The color change from before and after adding the toasted coconut was dramatic
Scotts a pain
Your family culture is so awesome! I love your fun respectful banter
Love the videos and the conversations!
Oooh, I love coconut and any type of brittle! I need this now 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Can't wait to come see the shop in person!
Can’t wait to make this! I am ordering some coconut from them.Thank you!
I’ve never craved so hard 😭 My mouth is watering just from the thumbnail
Bring this back! Coconut is my favorite
Getting some right away!!!
I see "coconut" and I am immediately intrigued no matter what.
We got your first batch coconut brittle- it was wonderful!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Can't resist Toasted Coconut brittle!!!!

This is so satisfying to watch!!!
Its not fair that i drooled the whole time you made the toasted coconut marshmallow bark and its sold out...MAKE MORE PLEASE! 😂❤
This toasted coconut brittle looks brittlelicious 😭🙌🏽
Are you guys possibly going to do another “Random chocolate/white chocolate covered items”?
Where it’s a mystery test
I love anything with coconut, my absolute favorite. That looks so good. Thank you for sharing this video!

Blackpool rock is the best (I'm across the Pennines in Yorkshire)
That looks fabulous! How about dried mango chunk add-in? Yum!
So like piña colada brittle?
@@HerculesCandyPineapple instead of mango.
Looks delicious ❤
Hey, You read my comment about chat GPT!? sweet! super excited to see it.
Just placed an order a couple days ago, guessing the Cocoanut Brittle I ordered was NOT the toasted...have to see when it arrives this week. Something to look forward to trying next time if not.
Man who ever gets lucky with that end part with all that toasted coconuts that got folded in 😅 look’s fire 🔥
Coconut and cashew is my vote. Although I can't wait to try the just toasted coconut.
I'm going to have to get this in my next order. Looks fantastic!
I’m 72 and remember making a similar candy, no coconut and it came out in a deeper pan so it looke and tasted like Crunchie ,it was good ! I love coconut so know this is too good !

Julia I would love to have her for an employee she is a hard worker and just moves to the next thing.🌻🌻🌻🌻
Yum love this candy
Growing up in Johannesburg South Africa there was a company called Dick's that made delicious candy including a toasted coconut brittle that was my favourite. Can almost taste it now.
Mmmmmm! Might be good with coconut and cashew. And for even more tropical crunch, some dried banana chips!
Dry pineapple
@@luzraji76 Dried pineapple would go with a tropical theme, but I’m not sure that the chewy texture would work in a brittle. Banana chips are very dry and crunchy, so should brittle well. But a white chocolate bark with dried pineapple, mango, and macadamias - yum!
@@dianekassmann8821 there is a mix of papaya and pineapple and is so good 😋
I love stuckeys pecorino and peanut brittle as well it’s amazing
That looks really good
Lol Steve u know what he will say it's good
Excellent brittle! I learned a lot watching you make it. Where can I get those great powerful scissors?
Try it with jaggery once just replace jaggery with sugar, salt optional rest stays the same... I bet you would fall in love once again
Hello, I really enjoyed your video and have a couple questions if I may:
1) what temperature are you cooking that at?
2) How does it stay hot enough so that you can spread it out all across that counter top without getting hard?

Make the best brittles and try their spice hard candy perfect for the season
I love your videos and candy and i dont live far from the company your flavoring is made. ❤
Dang that looks good I am going to have to try to make me some!!
Mom is getting some of that for Christmas! I don't like coconut, but it was nice to see they didn't get another volcano reaction.
Both my mom and dad cooked at our house. I was always fascinated by the chemical reaction that makes brittle foamy.
We use to have want as called Peco Brittle using unsweetened coconut chips with peanuts added in as well.
That's so fun. Thanks.^
Coconut brittle is soooo good. I haven’t any for years.
I have never had the coconut before it looks delicious 😋
Now just add pecans and enrobe in chocolate and you will have “German Chocolate Icing” Brittle
even after all this time, I STILL miss Max....
The germ freak in me just kept thinking do not talk over the candy. Spittle! Eeek! It does look tasty
I feel exactly the same! It drives me crazy! 🐶i just hate to say anything that might hurt their feelings 😢 It’s just common sense, imo ❤
Good quality coconut ❤
It’s like a witch’s cauldron
Great video I wish I could smell it !
You should try the old fashioned candy, make a nougat with marshmallows, white chocolate, then add yellow box Dots or Jujyfruits to it.
I just love peanut brittle... sadly I am no longer able to eat it... I used to make this when I was younger (sadly, in a microwave LOL) Im curious... when you add the baking soda, why does it expand?? And also, why do you stretch it out after you've smoothed it out???
I love coconut! I'll have to try.....
Hello, from Austria 🇦🇹 All the best.Josef
Haaa...I'm on my way to buy some now!
There are two types of people. People that love coconut & crazy people.
Mt watching from Arizona
Coconut/pecan ❣️
That sounds great!

I personally feel that if you had called to mention that they would have taken care to correct it.
@@marykoufalis7666we don't know if they actually mDe an order. Demos might be a liar.
I never wanted to eat a candy more. I’m not that into candy. 🫢I like watching it be made and I like chocolate.
Coconut and almond would be grand
🤤
The amount of missed opportunities for Michael Scott “that’s what she said” in this video. 😭😭😭😭
It reminds me of particleboard😂
Love when the sponsor happens to be a product or company use anyway.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch with marshmellows brittle
Why the untoasted flakes? This is most likely why it is still sticky. Is there a reason you are not just stirring toasted coconut into the kettle?
Cocoa is nuts for mallow, coconut mallow crunch
Ok you need to dip this brittle in chocolate 🍫!
Do you know when you’ll make more thanks
Oh I want some
1:20 The thing about aging: It starts with memory, then you heal more slowly, then time accelerates...
If it has coconut 🥥🌴 you can't do it wrong it's awesome
I loved my grandma's Peanut Brittle but I would love to have just Brittle without the peanut.
Coconut ,Cashew brittle would be the bomb
It would be great with almonds in with the coconut
All i want is to buy all the different brittle flavours you have but i can't justify paying almost $100 just for postage to the UK. I've had really large items (toys) over 2kg and shipping with USPS was under $30.
That is because perishable items like candy need air shipping. Your toys probably came by boat.
It was $159 for shipping to my location in Canada which is only four hours from Syracuse.
Toasted coconut really worked with Zagnut bars. Remember those?
I dont see the toasted coconut brittle on your website. How do I order it?
It made my teeth hurt watching her dig the scissors into the table.
She was using scissors, not your teeth 😂❤
Here's the name you need "Coco-Marshie Munch'ems"!!!
I hate coconut but love watching the process and just ordered some nuts!

a nut-free friendly brittle, yay!
I remember my dad eating this when I was little, maybe 50s or 60s
