In my personal opinion it's the best thing that we make, but because it' so time consuming we just don't make them all that often. So get these rare truffles while you still can!

💑 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!

@HerculesCandy For one pound, we line an 8x8 pan with saran wrap (or wax or parchment paper) and pour it while warm, top/seal with saran wrap, then refrigerate. You can then turn out the pan onto a cutting board. We cut into 64 (8x8), 1-inch square pieces. It goes much, much more quickly than scooping out spoonfuls (and in my opinion is easier too). We then roll the squares until round and dip them later. These make fairly large chocolates so you can cut into smaller pieces if desired.

What gets me is that the ending of the video shows the second s'mores bark cooling on the table; the chocolate-filled pretzel hard candies cooling on the side; and then these truffles being packed. It goes to show what a complicated logistics job Terry is overseeing with the candy makers.

I have made truffles before. The recipe I followed used cream and dark cooking chocolate. It had melt the chocolate in the cream as it was heating up. Once combined put in a bowl and put in the fridge for 24 hours. You then take it out and let it come up to room temperature then beat it by hand until it changes colour and looks like milk chocolate. Place back into the fridge for 4 hours. Then take it out and let it warm enough to scoop out easily. They suggested coatings were, melted chocolate, Coco powder, Drinking chocolate, icing/powdered sugar, coconut or crushed peanuts. I gave them to a cousin. She is a hairdresser and for the last 3 days before Christmas she gave one with a coffee to each of her clients (she kept some back for herself and her boys). They loved them

I've also learned from these videos.. We used to dip the truffles in melted chocolate, but the method shown here looks a lot better for temper & finish. I'm not a fan of PB, but seeing as I'm all grown up (allegedly), I'm sooo tempted to make a batch of dark chocolate truffles with a generous slosh of brandy or rum added. Or I guess Cointreau for that orange flavor! :)

When I was in High School, I was a mother's helper for a couple with 2 kids. The husband imported and exported chocolate. He had "a lady" that made truffles for him to resell. She didn't make them in summer for obvious reasons. One summer, the favored customer begged to buy a dozen truffles and the lady agreed. My boss had her make a 13th for me. The truffle was as big as an apple! And oh so good.

Over here artisan bakers make the truffles with white cream in the center, coat that with a layer of chocolate and dust in coco powder. They tend to be tiny loaf shaped as well instead of round. They make the filling with butter, whip cream, sugar and some vanilla. 'Slagroom truffels' in Dutch. Quite delicious too :)

I have been making truffles for over 40 years. I have found if you use a very small ice cream scoop, smaller than the one you showed, it is easy to keep them uniform. I then plop them from the ice cream scoop into a dish of powdered sugar and then roll them in my hands. Put on wax paper and stick in the freezer for about 20 minutes before hand dipping in chocolate. I take them out of the freezer a pan at a time so they don't melt as I am dipping them. Makes it much faster and easier. I also make a peanut butter and jelly truffle by making jelly candy into small balls. Freeze the balls and after scooping the truffle mix into a ball, poke a hole with a large dowel like metal skewer, drop the frozen jelly ball into the hole and fill with a dab of truffle. Again, freeze the truffles before hand dipping in milk chocolate. The PB & Jelly truffles are everybody's favorite.

I make these every Christmas, but mine have either Whiskey, Rum or Bailey's Irish cream then roll them in cocoa powder or chocolate sprinkles. Sometimes I roll them in very finely chopped walnuts or hazelnuts. I have made them with Malibu (coconut rum), with some chopped tinned pineapple, dried on kitchen paper, in the middle then rolled in finely shredded coconut so basically a Pina Colada! These usually taste better using white chocolate.
