💑 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!

I enjoy your videos and have picked up tips on candy making from them. Thank you. But. It was painful watching Julia mix the peanut butter cream. That's one thing that continually drives me nuts about you guys. No one knows how or what kitchen equipment to use. Like using a laddle to mix instead of a whisk and not doing it correctly, then either. Then, you use a whisk to sift corn starch instead of an actual sifter. Constantly, you guys misuse or don't use the correct equipment. Hire a chef to consult or at least a cook, please, just someone who knows what and how to use basic kitchen equipment. This is over 40 years of kitchen experience begging you.

My husband’s grandparents ran a candy store in Sterling, Illinois. He has a tiny apron from when he would work (eat chocolate) in the store. He says his favorite Easter candy that they made were called bird’s nests. They would hand mix coconut shreds with chocolate and make a nest and press small jelly beans in the center for eggs. They made them in milk chocolate and white. Have you ever made them?

How to tell when you've had enough magic brownies: when the percussive rhythm of the enrober makes you hear a tune, then you start to dance, and next...giggle out loud. 🤭 A nice way to relax my old bones following many hours of repairing my garden fence and preparing the soil for planting soon. 🌱🌿

@LonelyFarmerScythe 4 ай бұрын

You should do a peanut butter cream with a jam topping, like apricot, raspberry, strawberry, and grape. The tart of the jam might cut a little of the extra sweet PB. Just a thought. I haven’t seen anything like that. The egg mold could be filled with jam, set aside, and then add to PB cream to top the mold off.

folks, look up cuberdons. A Belgium sweet they have (which translates as "nose" because of the shape). The triangular cone shape seems to be very similar to the cornstarch moulds you have in your starch room :) maybe an idea.....Raspberry creams but covered in chocolate...the Hercules twist to the nose :)
