💑 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!

You could cover them in Golden Grahams instead of pecans and have s’more pops

@soniagomez5197 10 месяцев назад

Add wax paper on both leaves of the press. It should be easier to take off. Wax paper or plactic.

@lesliegrimm4344 10 месяцев назад

not waxed paper but parchment paper would keep it from sticking.

I am so happy skittles went back to lime green instead of green apple. They were lime a long time ago, then switched to green apple for years but recently went back to lime here in Canada. I don't mind green apple. It was just everywhere. Lime became rare for fruity candy.

He was kind of a know-it-all, though. He told Steve what to do! He had to be right all the time. Greg used to get irritated with him 😅. I wonder why he left so quickly after learning the ropes at Hercules.

@CS-bn4un 10 месяцев назад

If you don't already, y'all should lightly toast the pecans (Be careful! They burn very quickly!) before coating ANYTHING with them. It will enhance the flavor of the pecans and will add a wonderful extra layer of flavor. Southerner born and bred speaking...have harvested, shelled and cooked with LOTS of pecans!

@CalliKira 10 месяцев назад

I think most nuts benefit from a light roasting 😂

@merryworld4776 10 месяцев назад

@CS-bn4un 🎯 100% Dad's side of family from Mississippi going back over 200 years. We lived in another state. Decades ago my uncles would ship huge boxes of pecans to us. Some would stay out in the nutbowl to snack on. The rest would go into the freezer for later. Those pecans were always sweet & tasty. Yummo!

Wow, i used to be obsessed with your account. Due to different reasons I haven’t watched in about 2 years. After your channel just popping into my mind I thought I’d have a look and can’t believe you are still producing high quality and entertaining videos ! Keep up the great work 🤩

@purplespal 10 месяцев назад

If you need the candy pressed thinner, try rolling it through an adjustable pasta machine.

@purplespal 10 месяцев назад

BTW this my favorite treat I have ordered through you.

@danielcarter305 10 месяцев назад

I'd be worried that the caramel would stick to the rollers. I dunno if you want to spend all that money on a pasta machine just to ruin it. Even second-hand pasta machines are expensive. Although the rollers are stainless steel so I doubt that this would actually be the case.

@AhNee 10 месяцев назад

@@danielcarter305 Between layers of waxed paper...it would roll it out much thinner, too.

@tinak8081 10 месяцев назад

This is a great idea! Use parchment paper with the caramel inside, so it wouldn't stick.

@user-ou5wg8zz6u 5 месяцев назад

i use some powered sugar or corn starch lightly coating the caramel. it helps going through the rollers.

@debbieabney383 10 месяцев назад

It was so nice to see Karen. I thought she didn't work here anymore. She's looking really good. And I would buy chocolate Skittles the green ones are my favorite.hooe everyone is doing well.☮️💙😊

@SwiftSloth 10 месяцев назад

“Covering things in chocolate is a weapon” put that on a t-shirt 😂

@DOMAPOI 10 месяцев назад

I think you should try melting the caramel, pour it onto the cooling table and spread it out really thin. Then after it is cooled cut it with Steve's bark cutter into square and wrap the marshmallows with the squares. Works great that way on my marble countertops.

@tinak8081 10 месяцев назад

Cutting the Caramel the width of the marshmallows, and then using a small round cookie cutter to cut the bottoms and the top. It doesn't matter if there's a gap. Because you're gonna put chocolate over it and nuts. Thank way you can make a bunch of caramel parts all at once or have someone cutting and someone assembling. The marshmallows wouldn't be as bulky or have more caramel on than the necessary.

@kristin_cool6537 10 месяцев назад

Sorry I think I got confused, what would the round cookie cutter be cutting!? But I agree, there’s so much that less caramel will be fine, and if it becomes more time efficient maybe that means prices will stay the same for a lot longer.

@tinak8081 10 месяцев назад

@kristin_cool6537 if you cut the caramel to the width of the marshmallows and wrap it around, the top and bottom would be blank , so you use the round cookie cutter to make a disk for top and bottom instead of using the caramel to stretch around. It would make it cleaner looking and it maybe not use as much caramel. Caramel is definitely hard to work with when cold so rolling it out and making cleaner cuts would speed things up. Time is money. I hope that helped make since. After the first time I saw you all make these I tried it and it worked for me. I run a home bakery and make these as well now.

@fastweirdo 10 месяцев назад

You may want to consider getting measured portions of the caramel and rolling it out with a rolling pin that has a guide for thickness. You'd do this in between sheets of parchment and maybe have lines drawn in it for the correct sized rectangular strips (as opposed to the circular tortilla press ones). After that, you just get the bench scraper to cut and release the strips for the marshmallows.

@jvebarnes 10 месяцев назад

Hello guys I just wondered if making the Caramel into a strip then wrapping and pinching it into place would be easier and faster. you could make the strip on the candy crank using the flat cylinders so you get uniform thickness.

@dchin3055 10 месяцев назад

To keep the nuts from coming off the pop when you bag them..take a disposable plastic cup cut the bottom off then slip the bag over it. Use like a funnel

Possible New Candy Names: Leprechaun Droppings Rainbow Chunks/Clusters Encase the Rainbow Schottles (skottles) I know it would be a little time consuming, but doing each flavor separately before combining the batches would make for a fun surprise

@newlife533 10 месяцев назад

He can put parchment paper between the Carmel an smash several at a time

@HerculesCandy 10 месяцев назад

Interesting idea, I definitely don't think the caramel idea has been tested to its limit haha

@danielcarter305 10 месяцев назад

I used to buy sheets of caramel to wrap around apples for caramelappels they were sandwiched between parchment paper, and it works perfectly! IMO, you should definitely do it this way. First start with one piece of caramel and work your way up to multiple pieces.

@robinh.8513 10 месяцев назад

Yep, parchment paper, carmel probably won't stick as much. Even if you are making tortillas, you out the dough between plastic.

@jpherrity 10 месяцев назад

Got my DUCK! May make a mold of it…..

@marymccowan6629 10 месяцев назад

You can buy the parchment paper in circles to make hamburgers that would work

@bellefrost 10 месяцев назад

@KeeperOfTheBooty 10 месяцев назад

If the green skittles were still apple flavored 🍏 this would be like mini chocolate covered apples 😍

@EmilyGOODEN0UGH 9 месяцев назад

When using a tortilla press, whether for dough or caramel, everyone uses a freezer bag cut open as an insert, no suction issues and you just peel off the plastic. I see you eventually got some parchment paper. :) Also, I see everyone wearing long sleeves... perhaps put a bowl in a bowl of warm water and set the caramels in that as you start working? Not to melt, just to warm. And rather than changing the chocolate on the turtle pops, how about changing the nuts? Sprinkles - rainbow or chocolate? Peanuts? How about dark chocolate dipped with white chocolate mini chips? Or white chocolate with dark chocolate mini chips.

@justcallmesuzzie 10 месяцев назад

Karen is a celebrity and a legend! So good to see her again.

@taraskye80 10 месяцев назад

I recommend a rolling pin to roll out the caramel. Maybe have a small heater there to keep the surface a bit warmer so the caramel rolls nice. Then cut into the size of strips you need with a pizza cutter so you can roll the strips around the marshmallows.

@queennefratiti69 10 месяцев назад

I need to order again because that cherry almond bar looks amazing! Also dark chocolate turtle pops would be phenomenal!

@NoCheeseNoMercy 10 месяцев назад

Solution for turtle pops: Cut marshmallows in half, put a thin strip of Carmel between them, poke with stick, dip in chocolate, cover with nuts

@danbrit9848 8 месяцев назад

ive bin wanting new stuff in the world of candies...i love the experimenting

@elisethiel5769 10 месяцев назад

if you want to use the tortilla press and not have it stick, use 2 layers of grease proof paper or silicone baking sheet, then its not sticking to the press and you just have to peal it off the sheet after. using silicone baking sheets will make the press get it that little bit thinner too so you might not have to make it thinner then

@denaliprincess 10 месяцев назад

Oooh, have you tried using a pasta roller for the caramel? 🤔I've used mine for a lot more than rolling pasta! 🤗

@KeepitSimpleDIY 10 месяцев назад

You should try using a pasta press where you can start at a higher thickness then get thinner and have sheets of caramel that you could cut into squares the needed size. Use powdered sugar to make sure it doesn't stick similar to how you would use flour to make sure pasta doesn't stick to the rollers

@peacefulpear8 10 месяцев назад

Lemon starburst all day! Pink second. Favorite skittle...the red one and the orange. Also like the tropical ones.

@Roxi4 10 месяцев назад

The skittles chocolate sounds so good! Yum!!! It reminds me of the marvelous creations chocolate Cadbury does - Milk chocolate with jelly beans, M&Ms and popping candy! It's a brilliant combo! Candy inside chocolate is super popular around Australasia! You can also get skittles without the shells! Those are delish!!!

@BigFrankieC 10 месяцев назад

I imagine the orange or cherry skittles would be amazing.

@antoinettepieterse5426 10 месяцев назад

The Skittles in chocolate could be called "Tie dye clusters" 😂

@leannaskinner8495 10 месяцев назад

my favorite skittle is Freeze Dried. Any flavor. dipped in chocolate would be perfect.

@maxinecrossfire2514 10 месяцев назад

Dark side flavors are best freeze dried

@nemon661 10 месяцев назад

Maybe a smaller industrial table dough rolling mashine could make some decent even square sheets, that could be cut into fitted sizes for the marshmellow. As long as it stays somewhat cool it should not stick to the roller.

@shanekenealy2292 10 месяцев назад

@alan11121959 10 месяцев назад

Hi guys! Have you thought about pressing the caramel between 2 sheets of thick plastic? Then it won't stick to the tortilla press...BTW that's how tortillas are made...

@alan11121959 10 месяцев назад

...cut the sides and top off a zipper bag...

@hipoalergenic 10 месяцев назад

I'm Mexican and I can confirm this, you need plastic sheets between the tortilla dough when pressing, if not the dough will still like the caramel. And maybe heating it up a litlle with a heat gun just before pressing would help too.

@RobinBoth-vp8yk 10 месяцев назад

Yes!!! Turtle pops in dark chocolate please!! I would definitely purchase them. Also, I love the color of Terry's Hercules sweatshirt in this video - the blue is great!! I went into your website to look for it, but I don't see it there. Could you tell me if these are available for purchase? Also, thank you so much for my peppermint flower pops included in my last order. That was a wonderfully delicious surprise & i appreciate it very much. Thank you!!

@HerculesCandy 10 месяцев назад

The blue sweatshirt is one of a kind. When I ordered the maroon sweatshirts I was allowed to order other colors as long as the ink color was the same. Unfortunately we don’t have the space to stock another color in all the sizes we would need.

@RobinBoth-vp8yk 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for getting back to me regarding the sweatshirt.

@kmetz878 10 месяцев назад

So, the blind stuff-covered-in-chocolate thing now needs to be done with a chocolate -covered ice cube. Getting a gush of water when you bite into chocolate would be so confusing.

@nikkihayes9236 10 месяцев назад

The "MOUNTAIN BERRY" Skittles are my FAVE!!😋🥰 They make resealable bags of all the different shades of red and pink STARBURSTS, and I always remove all of the lightest shade Watermelon flavor to trash.

@MMuraseofSandvich 10 месяцев назад

Chocolate and citrus work surprisingly well (Terry's Chocolate Orange), so it wouldn't surprise me at all if the lime worked. The only problem is that the green Skittles don't really taste that much like lime. I don't have a favorite Skittle or Starburst, they're all good to me. Cherry Starburst in dark chocolate = Cherry Garcia without the ice cream? Strawberry anything in chocolate = _Homer gorging noises_

@incredible5587 9 месяцев назад

yellow skittles and yellow starburst are the best!!! most people throw them away but just its great stuff!!!!

@Emmalene49 4 месяца назад

You could use a rolling pin after the press to get the caramel thinner. I use a rolling pin and place caramel between parchment papers to roll them thin.

@ScreemBean 10 месяцев назад

There are fruit flavored jumbo marshmallows that I'd love to try covered in chocolate. in dark, white, or whatever's the best. 😍They don't need nuts on the outside, it could just be sprinkles. 🌈

Cut open a freezer ziplock bag and put whatever inside and then flatten. Makes it way easier to flatten and remove and cleaner!!!

@Casper7762 10 месяцев назад

Y’all need a larger food processor. I am sure that you would be able to get one somewhere and that it might be worthwhile to buy maybe 2 of them with 2 extra canisters and parts and with the biggest one so that you can actually chop of crush up larger amounts especially for the holidays when you’re needing tons of nuts, peppermint pieces and other toppers.

@metalmaniac788 10 месяцев назад

just a suggestion but wouldn't it be faster to use the enrober on the caramel covered marshmallows, then stick the stick in and roll in pecans? Make it an assembly line, might require two sets of hands. Just a thought. I'm sure you guys thought of that and have a reason for not doing it. Love the channel and the candy. Cannot wait til the winter to order more.

@sandyhayden-bristow1382 10 месяцев назад

Maybe use a non-stick spray on the candy press would help stop with the sticking issue.

@luzraji76 10 месяцев назад

Is a tortilla press, I'm mexican and we put 2 pieces of platic to not stick, we reuse it over and over. I was thinking about it last time. ❤

@sallyhamilton7202 10 месяцев назад

I don't know much about handling caramel, but would it possible to warm it just a bit so it's pliable, but not turning to a liquid, then roll it out with a rolling pin between two layers of waxed paper. Essentially handle it the way you would pie dough. Then you could cut it to size with a sharp knife and shape it around the marshmallow afterwards

@badmood88 8 месяцев назад

Pasta rollers might work. Maybe get it started in the tortilla press

Pink starburst and I kind of really like the red ones but I don’t mind any of them

@Bexinmo 10 месяцев назад

Pink Starburst and Green Skittles (Lime or apple). They changes the flavor of Green and recently changed it back. It was lime in my childhood, then became apple, now its lime again. I love you for changing your gloves after picking something up off the floor. Call the Skittle clusters Unicorn Poop!

@reginabringas4283 10 месяцев назад

My grandmother used the tortilla press she cut the plastic from the bread bags in two circles to keep them from sticking. Wax paper might work too.

@KeiPalace 9 месяцев назад

ah this reminds me of a product made in the late 80s or early 90s by Kraft Caramels called Wrappables, they were flat circles of caramel you bought in a package at the store and instead of dipping apples, you wrapped them in the caramel.

@MelboCreations 10 месяцев назад

Wax paper is used with a tortilla press dough in the middle and press some people just use plastic wrap also.

@muttshouse 10 месяцев назад

Why not use a pasta maker to roll out the caramel? You can run it through a couple of times to warm it up and thin it out. Then you can cut them in ribbons for wrapping.

@bowman0416 10 месяцев назад

Have you tried a pasta roller ? I would think you could roll out evenly and then cut to size.

@troglotroll 9 месяцев назад

I also love skittles and hate the green ones! They used to be good when they were lime, but now they’re green apple flavored they’re gross. Glad to see I’m not alone! The best one is orange for sure
