I have been watching these candy making videos for a long time. My wife and I finally decided on and agreed to make an online order. As part of the order, we got a small Thanksgiving box and a large Christmas box. I had eaten the cherry drop from the Thanksgiving box and then saw this video post. I had my wife watch the video with me. Then right before the tasting, I told her there was one of these in the Christmas box. She went and got the box and we shared the piece in it almost the exact same time the tasting was on the video. I have to say, these are soo much better than "store bought chocolate covered cherries". Thank you all for your dedication and love you pour into each batch you make. 😋 😋 😋 ❣
My grandson (age 13) and I, (age 82) have spent so many enjoyable hours watching your videos since Craig first started up the channel. We enjoy all of your videos and Steve's dry humor lol. Also, Terry is a whirlwind being so capable with all the tasks she is responsible for. We love the whole Hercules crew. You're our main entertainment on the computer. We can't wait to see more videos from you guys in the future! Also, we've ordered candy from you multiple times and it was all fantastic!
I love how passionate Cooper is about his craft/job. It was really such a joy watching and listening to him share his learning experiences. Its so nice to see young people find their passion and reaping so much from it. His attitude is fantastic, always eager to learn and he shows great initiative! I would hire him in a heartbeat!👍
Craig, I SO enjoy when you vlog. It’s mostly because your interaction with your dad is very endearing. When the business was in the home and it was all family with Max and Karen, it was magical. So when it’s YOU vlogging I remember how it all started 💙
We’re SO glad we finally made the 2 1/2 hour trip to your store this past weekend! Amongst a LOT of other goodies, we definitely bought the cherry creams. So good!!!
I wish I could order your candy but my deliveries always arrive at the end of the day and are always melted here in Florida. The trucks should be refrigerated
I agree with you that purple cups would make the candy pop! All of you do a fantastic job making the candy there. I have become mesmerized just watching the entire process. It would be nice if I could reach inside and have just one taste of those cherry creams. Oh, I have been licking my lips ever since this video started. Lol 😋Thank you as always for sharing the up and close candy making process at the “Hercules Candy”! ❤️
PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP MAKING THESE VIDEOS...ABSOLUTELY ENJOY EACH AND EVERYONE!!!...LIKE HAVING FAMILY AROUND...WHEN YER LIVING ALONE....YER FAMILY DYNAMICS IS SUCH A BLESSING....~THANK YOU!!
I fully agree. Cornstarch makes a lighter gravy than flour. I use cornstarch for most of my?thickening needs in the kitchen and for bath powder in the summer. Many uses. Didn't know this one but it's an excellent use.
Suggestion for the hard creme removing. Place a pot of hot water underneath. The steam rising. Help the metal get a bit heated around the bottom. Loosening the creme. Or even a hair blow dryer maybe, to heat the metal up?
What a great video!! I'm reminded of watching Steve.. by himself.. & with Terry.. in the basement.. working their butts off. So much respect for the family. And ultra happy to see where Hercules Candies is today.. in 2024. So happy to see the 'youngsters' making the candies & carrying on the traditions. ❤ to you all. Thanks very much.
Love watching you guys. These cherry cremes remind me so much of how my Daddy loved chocolate covered cherries. He’s been gone almost 20 years. Would love for him to still be here and order some of these for him. 😢
My guess for the cherries separating is that the sugar is heavier than the cherry pieces. The same theory could be applied to layered drinks and why you do the higher sugar contents first.
Craig & coop, the iconic duo we didn’t know we needed, but are grateful to have. Love what you guys do! Thanks from the deep basement of my heart & soul. These videos make my day. Feel like I’m apart of something without actually being a part of it. The immense sense of family is refreshing.
Just ordered 3 boxes. I love you guys keeping the old school candy company alive. I have a TH-cam channel but it's not candy related haha. Love you guys and keep it up.
I'd be interested to see all of the different sugar crystal structures under a microscope Get a really nice look at what makes a cream sugar different from a pulled taffy different from a hard candy
For those that came from the old shop do you miss watching movies while making candy? Seeing Steve in the back room alone made me think of the old shop.
You can see the TV in the main room. I'm sure they watch all kinds of stuff on it, including movies, but these days Craig has to be much more careful about showing content that might be found and pinged by a copyright bot.
Have been watching your videos for a while now and just got my first order in the mail yesterday! It’s so yummy can’t wait to order more! Thank you everyone!
These cherry creams are my fav along with the barks and chocolate covered animal crackers. I love the starch to finish series, Craig. Thanks for another fun vidya:)
I wish that I could buy some but I doubt that they’d travel very well all the way here to Australia ☹️ Your staff are just so lovely and your confections look delectable!!! ❤️🇦🇺❤️
Where/how do you find such great employees? Love Coopers attitude! He will succeed in life no matter what he does, hopefully he stays in the candy filed or becomes a pastry chef.
This channel is better than The Ozzy & Harriet Show. Love you folks like The Nelson's. Just much sweeter and enjoyable. Best treats around. Keep up. The good work.
I like the texture of cornstarch. We'd play with it as kids and then put water in it and it becomes a really cool hard/liquid consistency. I hope for Cooper's sake that the 2nd batch wasn't so hard.
I feel like I missed something. so many new faces! (sort of) and a new candy maker! What have I missed? Cooper seems quite talented, adjusting details like water content and temperature, trying to create a better product. it truly is an art
Gosh! I missed you guys thru Christmas 😟 This is the first notification I've seen in months! Wth?! I miss you guys & hope your holidays were prosperous & joyful 😁 Christina & The Animal Love Fest ❤😽😽😽🐺🐰💋
These cherry creams are my fathers favorite. He is 92 and will be 93 in March. I have to agree they are so very good. What is so wonderful is that your candies are still home made from scratch. Nothing like these huge companies that are all automated. Handmade is what makes them so delicious.
Chocolate covered cherries are my favorites. Just watching this wants more. And I bet these are the best cherry drops ever. One day I’ll get to order and this will be number one purchase
Hi guys👋🎄👩🍳 everything's looking great! I did wonder Steve why is it you don't bring that pan of water down closer to the bucket on a stool so you don't have to keep standing up and bending over to the bucket that has to be hard on the back this way you put your hands in the pan and it's right next to the bucket and you get it done faster and less wear and tear on the back 🤗 IMHO 🤷♀️💕
10:00 A small deadblow hammer would really help in this situation - just tap it against the back of the scraper. Would help save your palms! And instead of trying to constantly scoop it, dig the scaper down to form a checkered pattern then tap it from underneath to scoop them. It'll release much easier
IDK if it would help but its an idea that might work to ease the transition of cream out of the creamer to maybe heat up the putty knives in a bowl of hot water each time u go to scoop out the cream when it gets really hard like that plus it wouldn't be a lot of water going into the cream so it wont change the consistency that much if any ......maybe even try heating up the cream too a bit with a hair dryer just to where it eases out better ...hope my ideas work for u … that's torture watching copper scrape that cream out when its super hard like that i say he needs a pay raise on that one lol more gumdrops for cooper lol great video ya'll !!!
Listening to you talking about cornstarch and then thinking about it too much made me think of when handling Styrofoam and it makes that screeching sound😱😱😱
n rare cases, calcium propionate can cause side effects, such as headaches and migraines. One human study linked propionate levels with increased production of insulin and glucagon, a hormone that stimulates the release of glucose (sugar).
In the last couple years, I've met people who eat cornstarch by the spoonful. Almost as an addiction. They specifically say that the crunch it makes is one of the reasons they can't stop doing it. I had no idea. My best friend, her 2 sisters, her mom, 7 of her nieces and 2 of her kids all HAVE to have cornstarch to chomp on. She said she never realized it was weird. Her older relatives all did it also so she never questioned it as not being something that most people do. I found it intriguing so I went to Google. I am white. My best friend and her family are black. After some research, it seems there are many black people who have the same affinity to eating cornstarch. Some of the speculation is that it goes back to when their relatives were slaves and didn't have enough food to feed their families. Thru generations, it has continued thru more habit nowadays than necessity. Eating too much cornstarch can lead to malnutrition bc it fills the tummy but offers little nutrition. I had never heard of it until talking to my friend and searching to see if it's common. My oldest daughter has issues with the texture and the crunch also. She loves the softness but that softness paired with what seems like a "hard" crunch sound bothers her.
Happy Holidays.. I love this video, I don't know how you all do this but I'm impressed and hungry...lol. I wanna try the chocolate covered cherries and the pecan clusters.. my favorite
37:50 i think if you had a stick with indents in it, you could line them puppies up in way way less time.. and when you do the pouring of the cream, you are bent over way to much. maybe we can get the box raised up for you.. those looks so good.. good work..
That thumbnail of Terry and Steve scared me! 🤣🤣🤣 I cannot unseen it, thanks Craig and Dylan! The cherry cremes look delicious...need to try them once they are back in stock! Cooper and Brian are working hard. Nice to see that Steve can concentrate on his batches while the boys concentrate on their own. Nice to see Cara, Elle and Terry! 43:46 🤣🤣🤣 Nice snippet of Karen at the end! 😊😊😊 Enjoyed the video!
I worked with a guy who could not touch cornstarch. It gave him gag reflexes. I love cornstarch, I loved playing with it when making slurries and whatever else needed cornstarch in the kitchen.
I juat found this channel accidentally and I'm so glad I did. Amazing work. Is Cooper a son also ? He's very good at what he does and seems to love it.
that poor kid trying to get the cream out! LOL...but I was wondering, you were talking about adding water etc to make it not as hard, could you use a hydrometer (I think it's called) like they do in maple syrup making to gauge how much water was still in the syrup? You could then gauge how much water you still want in your sugar syrup to keep it from being rock hard. Just a thought. Obv I don't know a thing about candy making....LOL
I think the syrup would be way too thick to get an accurate hydrometer reading. You'd plop it in and it would just stick to wherever you set it by hand. BTW a hydrometer measures the density of a fluid and that reading can be used to determine water content for some things. I use mine to determine the ABV of the beer/wine/cider that i make.
We used thickened water all the time in the nursing home with the residents that had trouble swallowing. It has no flavor. I've mixed it in Pepsi and Coke, used it to thicken foods too.
so a curious question, why cant you just turn on the machine and let it lossen the hard cream? wouldn't that be so much easier and faster than scraping with brute force?
Ooh they look so yummy and handmade too! I could do that as I have the patience of a Saint!!! Love assembly work! How satisfying to see these being make and so glad for you that they sell well!
I used to work in a candy kitchen about 10 years ago with a little old lady and her husband. Some days it was rough but other days I absolutely loved it. We had no fancy wrappers though and hand wrapped taffy and caramels. My poor fingers at the emd of the day were tore up from the floor up :-) Good times.

Glad to have you stop in! Hope you got to wave at Steve and the others in the back! THANK YOU 😊
wow 2 and 1/2 hours is a long way
I wish I could order your candy but my deliveries always arrive at the end of the day and are always melted here in Florida. The trucks should be refrigerated
Poor Coop is gonna be feeling it the next day after scooping all that cream
Cream!
No need to go to the gym!
@@HerculesCandy kind of ironic isn't it... most people hit the gym to lose weight from sweets, and you guys can use the sweets to work out lol

Cornstarch is essential for many of my recipes, love it more than flour for a thickening agent! Can’t wait to get these Cherry creams!🍒
I fully agree. Cornstarch makes a lighter gravy than flour. I use cornstarch for most of my?thickening needs in the kitchen and for bath powder in the summer. Many uses. Didn't know this one but it's an excellent use.
The cornstarch mold technique is amazing to me. It sure does turn out a great candy product.
gummy bears are made the same way.
Cornstarch is so smooth it gives me the chills or touch it. The sound sends shivers up my spine. Nope I couldn’t do your job but you do it amazingly!
Can't wait to get my order! They all look delicious! Ive been watching for years and it's so calming and relaxing ! You guys are the best
I love the dynamic between Dylan and The Coop.
Coop and Dylan are both super outgoing people who just love candy!

Silly question, if you warmed up the paddles would it be any easier to remove the cream? Maybe a pot of boiled water to keep the temp up.
He needs a bigger and stronger tool to remove that stiff cream. That was ridiculous.
They talked about that actually, but it would have to be done in between each scoop because the cream would cool the paddle down again
Love watching you guys. These cherry cremes remind me so much of how my Daddy loved chocolate covered cherries. He’s been gone almost 20 years. Would love for him to still be here and order some of these for him. 😢
I have a lump in my throat at your comment about your Dad. I lost my Dad four days before Christmas last year and I can understand your sentiment.
My dad loved them too. He has been gone for 20 years. We used to buy boxes for him for christmas and he was just fine with that.
Rest in peace, Dad.

Trust me, Steve gets a good portion of Christmas movies and Monty Python when the cameras aren’t rolling :)
I love cornstarch! It's so silky.
Enjoy watching you use the cornstarch molds. It's awesome.
Also a fan of milk chocolate!
Have been watching your videos for a while now and just got my first order in the mail yesterday! It’s so yummy can’t wait to order more! Thank you everyone!
Yes....I just placed my Christmas order, including the cherry creams. I can't wait.🤗
My first time watching. I found this so interesting, I am wanting to see more. Cooper is very charismatic and knows his art(candy making) well.
You should give back to watch them in the basement of the house. They have grown quit a bit.
@@kimkemeys9563 Thats what I did, went back to the start and watched 5 a week until I caught up.

You have great taste Crystal 👌
What are the chocolate covered animal cookies called or how do I find them?
I found them

Cornstarch crunch sounds like good crunchy snow
I’m going to make some chocolate covered cherries some time this, or next week. I’ll send you a video.
Where/how do you find such great employees? Love Coopers attitude! He will succeed in life no matter what he does, hopefully he stays in the candy filed or becomes a pastry chef.
Really love how they show how everything gets made how everything works and them taking I like hearing there voices when they talk great job
Would warming up the spatula help to get the cream out??
Mehh.. Yes and no... Yes it helps but no not much
@@AMPProf that's too bad
We tried it and the results were very lackluster:/

It was very smooth, so no worries :)
Just got my sour green apple hard candies in the mail and oh my lawd. Soooo good. Also, are you able to do full bags of Lime?

Isn't there a viscosity meter? That might work to see what thickness the cream will be.
These cherry creams are my fathers favorite. He is 92 and will be 93 in March. I have to agree they are so very good. What is so wonderful is that your candies are still home made from scratch. Nothing like these huge companies that are all automated. Handmade is what makes them so delicious.

We loved when my mom put it in our bath water !! 🐣

Frankly I never thought much about Cornstarch 🤪 but I have a feeling Coop will be dreaming about Cornstarch & Cherry Creams for a long while 🤣😂🤣
The Corn Starch Crunch reminds me of walking in the Snow ❄
That’s how we feel!
I also h8 the way that corn starch crunches, it reminds me of the cotton balls the dentist uses in your mouth and it's like nails on a chalk board 😣
I just love all you videos! Happy Holidays everyone!!!
I watched many of the videos a while back, been trying to find the channel for a few months now. I subbed this time to i can keep watching
Welcome home!
10:00 A small deadblow hammer would really help in this situation - just tap it against the back of the scraper. Would help save your palms!
And instead of trying to constantly scoop it, dig the scaper down to form a checkered pattern then tap it from underneath to scoop them. It'll release much easier
IDK if it would help but its an idea that might work to ease the transition of cream out of the creamer to maybe heat up the putty knives in a bowl of hot water each time u go to scoop out the cream when it gets really hard like that plus it wouldn't be a lot of water going into the cream so it wont change the consistency that much if any ......maybe even try heating up the cream too a bit with a hair dryer just to where it eases out better ...hope my ideas work for u … that's torture watching copper scrape that cream out when its super hard like that i say he needs a pay raise on that one lol more gumdrops for cooper lol great video ya'll !!!
im coming to the store soon, i cant wait! i was in syracuse like 10x this year and just completely forgot,,,im up north so i will be in soon
Oh boy, I just splurged and sent in an order. Love " Cooper quotes "
Candy holding hands..etc. too funny 😁 Love you guys !
With the very cherry creams I hope! Haha either way thanks for supporting us Cyndi!

This reminds me of I Love Lucy episode when Lucy and Ethel make chocolate.lol
That episode was filmed in Los Angeles. At the See’s Candy Factory. They celebrated 100 years in May of 2021. 🍫🥜🍬🎂
Wonder if max misses the store like we miss him?
Where is max?
Hercules will become in one of these long weekends. Can you give us a private?
Watching coop scrape out the cream was painful. There's got to be better tools for that.
Love corn starch! It's a great sensory product if ya add just a little water on a tray 😉
Haha. I love the thumbnail. Very animated.
For the thick cream get some ice cream scoops like the antique Baskin and Robbins. I collect ice cream scoops. They are solid as heck
n rare cases, calcium propionate can cause side effects, such as headaches and migraines. One human study linked propionate levels with increased production of insulin and glucagon, a hormone that stimulates the release of glucose (sugar).
How does she feel about snow cuz walking through snow sounds the same.
Yeah, that was my thought as well! That sounds like just walking through new fallen snow.
The sound doesn’t bother me, it’s the texture of it that gives me goosebumps!

When you walk on Dry snow pack, it sounds like the corn starch.
The crunch reminds me of walking on snow personally
Been few years but I’m glad to see you guys are still in business
Cornstarch crunch reminds me of the snow how it crunches when you step in it.
Watching the crème being covered by chocolate reminds me of Lucy and Ethel at the chocolate company. 😜😜
I juat found this channel accidentally and I'm so glad I did. Amazing work. Is Cooper a son also ? He's very good at what he does and seems to love it.
Cooper is not related and I recommend you go back to the start and watch them all grow, aswell as the business.
Thick water doesn't quench the thirst I learned that when I was recovering from covid. However on a happier note the cherry creams are amazing!!!!
Cool, thanks for sharing. Glad there are still guys like y'all who make it personal. Great video ❤
I've never seen nor tasted those cherry creams. Where can I order them. I would love to taste them. So beautiful and who doesn't love cherries 🍒🍒
that poor kid trying to get the cream out! LOL...but I was wondering, you were talking about adding water etc to make it not as hard, could you use a hydrometer (I think it's called) like they do in maple syrup making to gauge how much water was still in the syrup? You could then gauge how much water you still want in your sugar syrup to keep it from being rock hard. Just a thought. Obv I don't know a thing about candy making....LOL
I think the syrup would be way too thick to get an accurate hydrometer reading. You'd plop it in and it would just stick to wherever you set it by hand.
BTW a hydrometer measures the density of a fluid and that reading can be used to determine water content for some things. I use mine to determine the ABV of the beer/wine/cider that i make.
It's super fussy, but sugar work is an art form! They have full blown competitions and they teach it in culinary school!
I understand the crunchy cornstarch feeling when it's packed tight into a small container. Sends chills up my spine.
Sweet corn! Great video yet again! God bless and merry christmas to you and your family and workers!
I tried to order from your site but says the items can't be shipped to my address. That makes me sad, I really wanted to try your candy.
Kroger makes cherry milk. It’s REAL rich and you can’t really drink a lot at once, but it’s probably better that you don’t.
We used thickened water all the time in the nursing home with the residents that had trouble swallowing. It has no flavor. I've mixed it in Pepsi and Coke, used it to thicken foods too.
so a curious question, why cant you just turn on the machine and let it lossen the hard cream? wouldn't that be so much easier and faster than scraping with brute force?
Thumbnail was very creative 10/10
First thing that came to mind was Lucy & Ethel.😂
Why couldn’t you heat the solid creme from underneath to get it out of the blender easier?
Ooh they look so yummy and handmade too! I could do that as I have the patience of a Saint!!! Love assembly work! How satisfying to see these being make and so glad for you that they sell well!
I used to work in a candy kitchen about 10 years ago with a little old lady and her husband. Some days it was rough but other days I absolutely loved it. We had no fancy wrappers though and hand wrapped taffy and caramels. My poor fingers at the emd of the day were tore up from the floor up :-)
Good times.
