💑 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!

Julia shows the most promise out of all of the apprentices at Herc's so far. A natural gift! It's a testament to her skill that Steve doesn't feel the need to lurk and watch over her shoulder.

I think it’s funny how even though it’s been years, there’s still at least one commenter asking where Max is under every video. I guess that just proves how much we all love him.

I have watched you videos for a very long time and love the interaction with patrons. My parents paid a visit on my recommendation because you make amaretto creams and my dad loves anything amaretto. I was sad to hear these are not made year round and only seasonal, (I thought they were part of the box mix and available year round)so unfortunately he left without them. They said the people they spoke with were polite.

The cornstarch molding process for the cremes reminds me of sand casting machine parts. There was a forge near me that still manufactured up until it closed around 2018 when Google bought the building for the land.

Toasted coconut feels like a great autumn seasonal flavor. It might be interesting to try to make a pina colada flavor or mai tai flavor candy for beach summer memories.

Hercules, Hercmeles, Hercusles. May I make a request? Prank someone. Make a gross candy. Present it as a new idea and have the victim(s) take a bite. Like a garlic creme, parmesan creme, anchovie.. I don't know. Something nasty as candy but perfectly normal as food. OR just popped in my head just now actually. Do this idea as a Hercules Candy game. Like the BeanBoozled challenge. Could even do a Spicy version. Like orange, red and yellow pillow candies. Orange is either orange or orange habanero, yellow can be lemon or lemon ghost Pepper, red can be cherry or Carolina reaper or scorpion pepper and cherry. Hercules Nice or Spice Challenge, Hercules/Hurtcules Challenge. That would be amazing.

6:38 For home use, you could use one of those thingies to fill with pancake batter - would work, I think. Or just use a smaller funnel you already have, and use the handle of a wooden spoon - I have a small wooden spoon meant for sauce which has a thin long round handle… Would have worked in one of my funnels fine, I think. Yup, that worked perfectly!!! Wouldn’t make as big batches, but I actually have 4 options here. One a stainless pancake batter thing, two an even bigger plastic pancake batter thing (both with handle grip that opens/closes a hole under them), three the funnel with a wooden spoon handle as an open/closer and four, using a pastry bag with a tip too!!! So there are cool options… I would probably use silicone molds though, as the Maizena/corn starch option is a bit too complicated (the presser thing, that is, making that would be complicated)… 🤗☺️❤❤❤
