For everyone worrying about all the wasted nuts on the table, worry no more! Jennifer scooped up the nuts and will use those nuts exclusively for the next buttercrunch batch.
It is weird, I had a hard time thinking about anything else during that portion of the video, LOL. Looks delicious and thanks for giving us the payoff with the taste tests at the end
I just fugured it could/ would go into an almond bark or something. Although the massive amount of almonds on the table definitely caught my eye, as it isn't something that is typically seen in your kitchen.
Steve strikes me as someone who's always interested in learning a new way to make candy, especially if it's handmade. Not surprised at all that he took such an interest in this!
He didn't allow himself to be schooled he cross-contaminated the almonds into the chocolate thought he knew better than her also he was going to put the burnt stuff on and didn't like it a bit when she told him not to
It had not completely registered how neat and clean you all are with candy making until I watched this show. All I kept thinking was OMG what a mess to clean up. You all really are very clean with the way you do things. Even the dirty pots are scrapped down to the metal before they reach the sink.
But she explained why they didn't scrape the pot. When Steve started to scrape, there was a dark burned spot that would have changed the flavor of the candy. Maybe you missed that.
I think Jen was a sweetie and I love that there is a new generation of candy makers enthusiastic about this profession. Oldies and newbies working together is always cool.
It was burnt it would have ruined the whole thing in fact he already did put some of the burn stuff in because the lady who thought she knew everything went over and started stirring and she didn't scrape the bottom of the pot you cannot let any of that sit on the bottom of the pot it sugar Wilburn. And the whole batch would have been ruined. And the young lady was constantly having to correct the old man who thought he knew everything
@@jamsaidemelo1367 you wouldn't consider it a light-hearted comment if you had a grandchild or maybe a couple Grand children that had a peanut allergy and an allergy to nuts. It's a health risk it would be like saying I don't care if I put sugar in it and some diabetic eats it thinking that it's sugar free
@@jamsaidemelo1367 do you shop in that shop are you sure that there's a warning that pot of chocolate is contaminated until they use every last drop of chocolate and don't add more and wash that pot out
I think we can see one of the reasons for Steve's successes here. He is happy to be lead and taught, even with all his years of experience. So many people will be too stubborn for that in his position. Especially when it's a young person. But he's not like that. I love Steve!
Do you realize he was being stubborn he cross-contaminated the big pot of chocolate that had melted when he kept sticking his hand in to put more chocolate on everything after being told he was cross contaminating things. I'm sorry but people can die if they're allergic to the nuts that were contaminating the big pot of stuff
Why do you keep dwelling on the situation and try to start a debate with half of the people who comment something nice about the owners? Move on....you've made your point in multiple comments...we get it he cross contaminated and didn't correct his mistake. We understand your grandchild almost died from a mistake like that.....we get it!! Okay?! Move on and stop with the constant harassment!
@@kathleenmurphy2379 p.s. these are comments not messages :) and I've been the only one to start the conversation with you....everyone else didn't ask for you to comment back at them...you started those conversations. So I'll stop now have a great day :)
I love watching your family. You are the sweetest people to share your yummy candy samples with people who come to visit you and watch your operation. Now back to watching the video and drooling.
I think it's awesome that you guys welcomed another candy maker to visit, learn from you and show you something they make that you don't. Great video and thanks for having Jen visit! They candy looks amazing!
I really lime Jennifer. She's so nice and enthusiastic. I'd love it if you guys and other candy makers made more collabs lime this, teaching each other your recipes. ❤️
I really don't understand all the negative comments about Jennifer. She's a really enthusiast candy maker, and she and the "Hercules family" are talking about their recipes and working methods. No wonder she's nervous. I would be too. So please, don't be so hard on her.
I could be wrong, but It seemed part of her nervousness was she was smitten a bit with Max. She kept looking at him and smiling and gave him the biggest piece of candy to sample.
she cute has a nice voice ... makes candies ... and doesnt come off as a snob ... only thing missing is to be a backwoods girl as well and then she would be perfect ;)
i think all the negative comments are just because shes a woman, not because she made bad chocolate or she was rude because she was polite throughout and everyone loved her butternut crunch
So great to see the whole Hercules Candy family together. I knew there was something coming up after seeing the photo of this yumminess on instagram. This was similar to the way brittle is made but with a huge twist.😉 Such a lovely person Jennifer and showing her skills in the candy making business. I know I would have loved this as well as a chocoholic and a caramel lover. This was an awesome colab and maybe a follow up in the future. 💕💕💕
I really like and enjoy everybody just getting along so well, this should be a reminder for other owners or managers out their HOW TO TREAT YOUR EMPLOYEES!!!! very relaxing to watch I’m gonna order me some candy 🍬 FOR SURE thank you everyone for all your sharing and your posts ,very nice and clean 🧼 shop they have. Thank you for all the questions that your viewers might ask 🙏🏻💕🍬🍬
I'vd been watching Hercules Candy vids for awhile and always enjoy them. To my surprise, Jen's company, Furlong's Candies, is in my home town! Now I know what to expect the next time I need that special hostess gift...Butter Crunch...yum!
This looks and sounds delicious. Thank you for the collaboration. I like that you compare notes on the ways things are done and the different types of candies. Jenn is fun to watch also.
I like how Steve doesn't lose a drop of chocolate, and squeezes it out of his hand almost like a decorating bag. Very clean and economical - not to mention elegant - workmanship. I'd like to see him put nuts on the chocolate, to see if he's as clean and careful with that, as well. He probably sees money going down the drain with all the chocolate going on the table.
I can taste the buttercrunch through the screen at the end. We can really hear how crunchy it is, lol. Jen is so adorable, sksksksk! This was very wholesome, omg. Love.
I stopped in to your store for my first time because of TH-cam last week. I picked up some cashew clusters and dark chocolate rice crispies. They were both amazing. I'm looking forward to eating a lot more of your product. :)
We made it differently back in the '60s when I worked summers as a teen in a candy factory. We made the hard candy first like here, then broke it up into smallish pieces. Then dipped them in chocolate then into the almond crunch. One of the best candies there is.
@@oceancurl Perhaps, it's a great candy. I think it's a bit easier the way our factory made it, but everyone gets used to a technique they're comfortable with.
I've been making this for years and never heard it called butter crunch! Almond Roca is what I was told it was... it sure is good I make it for Christmas and special occasions. I'm just a home cook candy maker but I sure love it... I actually lay my chocolate down like you do a lot!
What a brilliant video... Not sure why there are so many negative comments about Jen. The video showed that there are passionate people of many ages that like to make candy and that ya not too old to learn. Mega kudos for such a great collaboration! There was no malice at any point in this video, the only malice I see is right here in the comments section. Stop being so damn picky and grown up!
How neat is that? Pretty Neat! 😉 Max the workhorse enrobing like a boss! This is so different even though the ingredients are similar. So much butter! Jennifer's mother helped! This is very messy, but still cool to watch. KAREN! 🤗 Funny as always. Great to see you all!❤
This is my favorite candy of all time. Yes, it can pull your crowns off your teeth. It has happened to me. Just take your time. You can feel when it gets a grip on your teeth if you get to chewing too much at once. Just gotta take it slow. I think I can tell by how quiet you all were when tasting it that it was pretty darn delicious. Fantastic video. Great job everyone. This was riveting to watch.
How fun and delicious. Jennifer is a darling bundle of giggling energy. I really enjoy your collaborations with other candy makers. 🙌💕 In my mind a “Joe” size piece would be 1/2 the table. LOL now that’s a tower of a man.
This is quite like a candy called Almond Roca (made by Brown & Haley in WA state) except they also put chopped almonds also into the toffee, and it's mass produced... I've had this similar buttercrunch candy made by candy stores, and it's delicious. This entire video had my mouth watering. It's fun to see different candy makers compare their methods.
stuff I know is gonna be all through the comments: 1. scratching the marble with the cutters/knives 2. waste of too much nut dumpage 3. steve redipping into chocolate+nuts for contamination 4. general nut allergie comments/complaints 5. we love the fun shenanigans of this troupe! I think that the crunch would be stronger with a higher sugar %, so some invert syrup still added, plus the sugar and butter and water. that ratio makes it kind of still too 'soft'. Great stuff as always!
Love how Steve continues to stick his nut hands in the chocolate even when told 2-3 times she would give him the chocolate 😂 Steve don’t take no for an answer
Yeah but I'm not being funny love, if someone ate from that batch of chocolate used as an ingredient in a different recipe and were allergic to almonds that could literally kill them
Vienna Fray exactly, she was a bit skimpy with the chocolate? i wonder if all their labels has a disclaimer that its make in a facility & equipment that uses nuts 🥜 ? because the kettle, paddles, scraper & table all come into contact with the peanuts when making brittle etc? new sub from australia and absolutely loving this family & their channel !
It made me angry that he kept sticking his hands with nuts on them into the Big Tub of melted chocolate cross contaminating it. I don't think he realizes how life-threatening it can be if someone who's allergic to any kind of tree nut or peanuts I realize it was almonds... A person can go into anaphylactic shock and die. My granddaughter got something cross-contaminated at Friendly's Ice Cream she's allergic to peanuts. She had to be rushed to the hospital in anaphylactic shock. He needed to keep his nut covered hands out of the big pot of chocolate that would be used for other candies it really made me angry to see how stubborn he was
Happiness is watching this video while eating almond butter crunch that I made for the first time last night! Yummy! ❤️💕 you all should add this to your regular candies to make! 💕
I miss seeing how the valentine chocolates are made. I can always go back and watch year old videos, I guess. I hope you will be showing some easter candy being made - and wrapped!
I was glad to see Jennifer trying to make sure the chocolate didn't get contaminated with the nuts, I have to be really careful when eating sweets/chocolate because of a cashew allergy, so it's great to see someone being careful
OMG! Awesome to see you comment. I follow you and as a matter of fact, I just finished watching your recent video.😁 I find your videos relaxing!! I'm glad that you don't drown your videos with music!! I'm a fan all the way from HI😊
This was timely. I am in the process of collecting all the necessary tools and ingredients to make this at home. The video I found called it English Toffee...I think. I asked my daughter what version of it her family might like (almond, pecan, walnut, peanut, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate...). She says, “I don’t know. I’m not a big toffee fan.” Humphf.
Oh my gosh. I have been watching your videos for over 3 hours but worth every minute . Craving each type of candy,you have shown. Do you mass produce for retail, or just by order? Is there much waste or loss. Lots of butter.yum!! Does,the cooling table ever get scrapes or cracks.? Jen is very efficient, yet almost a perfectionist. She is making my mouth water. I bet when she works from her business she has precise pieces. It was so good,how everyone pitched in when she kept saying their table was so large. Truly enjoyed this video . Steve likes to give plenty chocolate and I love it. What company does Jen work for or does she have her own business. Great team work. Thank you for sharing. Did teri get a little jealous 🤫 Will they sell this batch or give away,at the grand ooening? Jennifer has a beautiful spirit.
My mouth watered the whole time I watched this I really think you should make this but with a big change. I think if you put nuts in with the toffee and then do the chocolate with the in rover you can pick some nuts on the top And it would be more efficient for you to make and more available for us to eat... Its a thought.
I just had to know how far these two candy makers were apart so according to Google travel time would be 4.5 hours. Could visit both in one day if you wanted to. YUM!!! :)
That candy looked so yum! I'd eat 5lbs of that stuff myself! But I had some serious anxiety watching! Steve has the most calm spirit I've seen. The chocolate on the marble, the nuts spilling off the table and the messy gloves! I had to skip through to the end. The end product looked amazing though!
I was thinking about this a few weeks ago, when I was in my youth my mom would make choc covered peanuts and cherries and such. Was thinking about tempering choc.. she would put a tiny bit of bees was in chocolate and I think that's what was stopping the white haze on top that some chocolate gets.
I love the way Steve handles the Chocalate...so nice and neat...no waste...this is the messiest I've seen anything made..lol bet Steve was freakin... Loved the video tho, Terry I miss you saying "you can see me"
Laura Mijana I’m not sure she was teaching anyone anything. I think it was very kind of the family and shows their humble personality to allow her to feel as though she was teaching. 😉
@@aclark8298 She was specifically teaching them her confectionary's particular method. There's always something to learn from someone else's techniques.
Wow, this would be a favorite for sure. I love butter, chocolate anything sweet. I'd like to try it with chopped pecans. Will you guys at Hercules start making something similar? Thanks Jen.
For everyone worrying about all the wasted nuts on the table, worry no more! Jennifer scooped up the nuts and will use those nuts exclusively for the next buttercrunch batch.
Lol.. sorry I missed this comment.
It is weird, I had a hard time thinking about anything else during that portion of the video, LOL. Looks delicious and thanks for giving us the payoff with the taste tests at the end
I assumed as much.
I just fugured it could/ would go into an almond bark or something. Although the massive amount of almonds on the table definitely caught my eye, as it isn't something that is typically seen in your kitchen.
i was like shes getting chocolate and nuts all over the table where as Steve was all tidy, and i thought unh unh unh thats not how Steve does it
Steve's humble enough to let a kid school him, the mark of a good teacher is their ability to allow themselves to be taught.
Well said!
Dudeless Ranch a little profound, I'm surprised it came from me lol.
Steve strikes me as someone who's always interested in learning a new way to make candy, especially if it's handmade. Not surprised at all that he took such an interest in this!
the sign of a true human steve hadnt made it before ... she has ... so he paid attention and learned ...
He didn't allow himself to be schooled he cross-contaminated the almonds into the chocolate thought he knew better than her also he was going to put the burnt stuff on and didn't like it a bit when she told him not to

scraping the pot doesn't matter for ribbon candy but it does for caramel
I think Jen was a sweetie and I love that there is a new generation of candy makers enthusiastic about this profession. Oldies and newbies working together is always cool.
I think Steve died a little inside when he was told not to scrap the dark sugar from the kettle
It was burnt it would have ruined the whole thing in fact he already did put some of the burn stuff in because the lady who thought she knew everything went over and started stirring and she didn't scrape the bottom of the pot you cannot let any of that sit on the bottom of the pot it sugar Wilburn.

Old candy makers always learn new tricks.
That looks super yummy! I think it's neat that other candy makers are willing to come and share what they do with you and your viewers.
Out of all the videos I’ve watched of Hercules candy this is probably the one where I wanted to try the candy the most!
Same!!!!
I don't blame ya haha
@Shannon it's pretty easy. We make it for Xmas. Totally worth the effort.
Bossp505 Me too, my mouth is watering!

Steve is more likely to blend burnt sugar back into the batch, but this is also burnt butter. Leaving it out is probably wiser.
Jen is great. Funny and knowledgeable. Do cool to make candy at such a young age. Way to go jen
That was rad watching Steve do something new!! Thanks y'all for the good content.
I don't think anything has ever soothed me as much as Steve scooping and spreading out the chocolate with his hands.
Also i like the dynamic of Jennifer and Steve. She seems like she'd be awesome with kids.
So kind and patient.

OMG, hearing all the ummm"s & crunching of the taste testing had me salivating into my coffee. That looks fanominal.
It’s really interesting to see how another candy maker works differently. This is a fun video. Thanks for making this happen!
You're NOT a "loser".💖
You're a beautiful, devoted, sweet lady.👍
You are correct Terry, people are loving it way too much!

She did awesome and it looked great!
Terry’s face is like “Now would you look at this mess...” 😂😂
I’m from Virginia and southerners love butter. The candy looks so good, I can almost smell it!
This was timely. I am in the process of collecting all the necessary tools and ingredients to make this at home. The video I found called it English Toffee...I think. I asked my daughter what version of it her family might like (almond, pecan, walnut, peanut, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate...). She says, “I don’t know. I’m not a big toffee fan.” Humphf.
Steve seems so huggable, I would so hug him haha
I really enjoy watching y'all make different candies👍
First time I watched I thought Max was Steve's son... both the nicest sweetest personalities ever 😊
I noticed that Steve is putting more chocolate than she is. Lol. 😆
Oh my gosh.
I have been watching your videos for over 3 hours but worth every minute .
Craving each type of candy,you have shown.
Do you mass produce for retail, or just by order?
Is there much waste or loss.
Lots of butter.yum!!
Does,the cooling table ever get scrapes or cracks.?
Jen is very efficient, yet almost a perfectionist.
She is making my mouth water.
I bet when she works from her business she has precise pieces.
It was so good,how everyone pitched in when she kept saying their table was so large. Truly enjoyed this video .
Steve likes to give plenty chocolate and I love it.
What company does Jen work for or does she have her own business.
Great team work.
Thank you for sharing.
Did teri get a little jealous 🤫
Will they sell this batch or give away,at the grand ooening?
Jennifer has a beautiful spirit.
You guys should do some Mackinac Island style fudge. Keep up the great work, everything you do looks amazingly delicious!
I appreciate you teaching younger folk skills to continue your business. its good stuff
This is my favourite type of toffee. A local small business makes this in milk and dark chocolate, with almond and macadamia nuts.
Thanks guys. Love seeing people share their knowledge. Great vid.
How do You Guys and Girls stay so Skinny surrounded by all that candy
My daughter lives toast with her butter! Apparently her great grandma was the same. Butter gene. Everything looks delicious, good to see everyone too!
Lol Max sliding across the floor trying to keep up 😂
My mouth watered the whole time I watched this
I really think you should make this but with a big change.
I think if you put nuts in with the toffee and then do the chocolate with the in rover you can pick some nuts on the top And it would be more efficient for you to make and more available for us to eat... Its a thought.
I just had to know how far these two candy makers were apart so according to Google travel time would be 4.5 hours. Could visit both in one day if you wanted to. YUM!!! :)
That candy looked so yum! I'd eat 5lbs of that stuff myself! But I had some serious anxiety watching! Steve has the most calm spirit I've seen. The chocolate on the marble, the nuts spilling off the table and the messy gloves! I had to skip through to the end. The end product looked amazing though!
I have caught my daughter eating blocks of butter on several occasions. "I eated a budda".
Emma Goudie is your daughters name Paula by any chance?
@@donnafassano163 - nope :)
Sounds like my mom, just add a loaf of bread to go with it.
Apparently I did as a kid (parents found the teeth marks!)
Lol, I did when I was little, my grandmother caught me sitting in the middle of the table eating the pound of butter. Got a smack for that.
Awesome 😍 Thanks for sharing Jen!!! ❤👍❤
Looks so good I’m craving this so bad now !
I was thinking about this a few weeks ago, when I was in my youth my mom would make choc covered peanuts and cherries and such. Was thinking about tempering choc.. she would put a tiny bit of bees was in chocolate and I think that's what was stopping the white haze on top that some chocolate gets.
I love the way Steve handles the Chocalate...so nice and neat...no waste...this is the messiest I've seen anything made..lol bet Steve was freakin... Loved the video tho, Terry I miss you saying "you can see me"
oh man I do miss their buttercrunch candy. It is amazing. Definately having some homesick moments right now.
It would be a nice addition for y’all but y’all already have a lot on y’all’s plate. Thank you for sharing!
Truth!!
Paul D. Green that is too much y'all
Zali Zali Y'all are welcome! LOL!
LOVE the Teaching moments from another candy maker. LOVE toffee Almond crunch.
Men, the comments! the girl was nice, she took a moment of her time to theach them his recipe. Stop the hate! the result looks delicious.
Laura Mijana I’m not sure she was teaching anyone anything. I think it was very kind of the family and shows their humble personality to allow her to feel as though she was teaching. 😉
@@aclark8298 its in the title..
@@aclark8298 it's in the title and Hercules commented that they asked her to teach them how to make it.
@@aclark8298 She was specifically teaching them her confectionary's particular method. There's always something to learn from someone else's techniques.
That butter crunch looks so good!
Wow, this would be a favorite for sure. I love butter, chocolate anything sweet. I'd like to try it with chopped pecans. Will you guys at Hercules start making something similar? Thanks Jen.
Looks sooooo delicious! Nice job!
