My husband just made our first order yesterday. 3 one-pound boxes for myself and our daughters for Valentines Day. It was a tradition when the girls were younger to get Godiva, but the quality really dropped over the years, so the tradition was dropped, also. I am so excited!!
It's amazing how we don't even think about how much cleaning has to go into the whole area when they switch from chocolate to ribbon or hard candy. Thanks for showing that. That's a lot of work to switch it over like that!!
I love the interaction between Craig and Max...you two are so funny sometimes. It is mainly the reason I've been following this RUclips channel since 2017, but I of course also love the interaction between everyone else. Greetings from Guam.
Just a comment which might help when you repair the vibrating table again, consider drilling a hole at the end of the crack (it will stop it growing) If you can also blend the corners where the tray spans the chocolate tank, the cracks will always start from a discontinuity, eg a corner or a change in thickness so smoothing out the transitions will improve the resistance of the tray. Your manufacture should take responsibility for this, it is fundamentally a design error on their part to have left stress raisers in what is designed to be a vibrating part. Keep well.
Over the years watching these videos ,it still amazes me how careful each form of candy is made , packaged and even shipped. This family and group of friends truly go the extra effort to make their product excellent!
I received my first EVER order of Hercules Candies candy, and I AM IN LOVE!!! The chocolate peanut butter chip bark is to die for, and the fruit and friendly hard candy is delicious. Seeing the hard candy in person is crazy after watching it being made on YT for the last couple of years. Also, they're a lot bigger in person. LOL!! Also, the variety chocolate box is so amazing. I mean, the amount of pieces you get is outstanding. Puts See's Candy to shame. Price is fair for the amount you get. Thank you Christine for the sweet message!!~
I love what Hercules candies stand for, family owned and operated. And I adore Max, he is so cute, wish I was about 50 years younger I'd be chasing him. It makes my day to watch the wonderful interactions with all employees, it is just the best. My kids are grown and we don't have people stopping by so hubby and I are pacing ourself on eating our first Hercules order. I do like the assortment and range I purchased, it is all good. Next order I will get a pound of assorted box chocolates, thought I ordered with the first, but it is all just so good, the chocolate is delicious. Craig your videos are all the things we viewers love to watch and questions you put forward. Thanks to you all.
Man! The care and attention to detail that y'all give to candymaking is Amazing!! The "foil rub" to make the impression on the hearts...You guys are the best!! Ayeee! SW La fan!
Max mentioning Great Escape brought out the nostalgia in me! My childhood! My elementary school used to have a trip there at the end of the school year every year, I haven’t been in ages.
I just love you guys!! Teri is the greatest, very intelligent. Steve is so funny just putting up with everybody. I am in LOVE with Max!!! 💖💖💞. He is sooooo adorable! I'm gonna order soon and I will want a handwritten note from Max!!
Cara reminds me of my daughter when she was younger, she would request a pepperoni pizza with no pepperoni and would get upset if I suggested she got a cheese pizza. She's grown out of it now thankfully.
I am just waiting until your store opens back up so I can take a weekend trip and stop in and check it out. My sister in law and I already have it planned. I do enjoy your videos always brings a smile to my face listening to you all.
Craig 👏👏👏 you are becoming quite the camera man! Your questions to everyone had me engaged the whole time, even something as simple as Terry printing a label is cool to watch and learn.
Mmmmmmm all that chocolate!!!! Mmmmmmm! Love that sound of the bark being cut, also when you pour the brittle on the table, dunno why I just love that sound.
I am buying an order with part of my stimulus. I have always wanted to try your chocolates, the love your father shows making the chocolate is much appreciated. Those peppermints look delicious.
Half way through the peppermint patties being coated my 5 year old joined me to watch, and said “They should call those polar bear thingies because of the white on the black.” I told him they were called Polar Bear Patties and he was like “I didn’t know that!!!” Good candy naming yall! 🥰
Always fun watching a fresh Hercules video with the whole crew! I cannot believe that I have been subscribed to your channel all this time for FREE Craig! 🤣🤣🤣
I can't wait to get another stimulus check so I can order chocolate pizza, peanut butter chocolate hearts, potato chip bark, cow chips, and a assorted box. I dream about it all the time.
It'd be funny to do a calendar with the "masked" faces. Always enjoy the videos. Thinking of doing a road trip with my daughter this year after she graduates to your store. We're about 4hrs away
This 3 cookie bark with peanut butter drizzled on it, is my absolute favorite...3x ordered and the chips covered in chocolate and dipped in peanut butter is my second favorite
Omg I can't believe how much you have grown. You are almost to 1 million. Who would have thought a couple years ago that you and your family would be doing so good. I 👍👍👍👍🥳🥳🥳🥳✌✌✌✌✌🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is great. When I have made homemade PB cups, I use powered sugar and a little bit of butter mixed with the actual PB. This is magnificent, Cant wait to order.
When I was watching I saw Max bend down and put the chocolate in the refrigerator. Just a thought. Can that frig be put on something to make it higher. Please save Max 's back.
I ordered my candy two days ago expecting it to show up Friday (Colorado). Well, I get it this morning and now my wife and I are enjoying it today. Thank you! Loving it!
It's -26F here in Winnipeg today and with the wind chill it feels like -44F. Between the cold and the quarantine we are stuck at home! Thank you for posting such a wonderful video on such a nasty, cold and isolating day. If we had a package shipped to us we would NOT need a cold pack.
Happy Tuesday. I had every intention of watching this the sec it posted but I fell asleep. Love you all so much. So proud of how much you have done. Have a great rest of your week.
Hi from Southern California, I received my order on friday and it survived. The ice packs were still ice cold. My husband was home when it was delivered so he made me open it. Hahahaha. My adult kids snub the chocolate potatoes chips at first. Tried it and loved it. My husband hid the Pecan turtles. Your chocolate and candy is Willy Wonka in my mouth. True craftmanship! I can't wait to travel and visit your store.
Just placed my second order today for some goodies from Hercules. Can’t wait to get it. A mix of hard candy, brittle and an array of chocolate covered items including vegan goodies. I am obsessed with your candy. 😍😍😍.
Hi guys. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now, and I’m going to place my first order today. I’m so excited. I’ve been waiting, because I can’t decide what to get EVERYTHING looks so delicious. I hope I do everything right.🤩 Love you guys. May 2021 be your best year yet! 😍
So when filling the valentine heart moulds “you gotta get it right in that window.... That happy medium”. You guys should have said “right in the sweet spot.”
I just put my order in!! I have chocolate allergies but looking forward to my brittles and hard candy orders!! I subscribed to your RUclips channel and love watching!!
me: *watching max do chocolate hearts* craig: “... unless they’re a monster that doesn’t like chocolate or peanut butter HAH” me: 👁👄👁 “i guess i’m a monster”
I just recently ordered two packs of the watermelon hard candy and I absolutely love it! I can’t wait for the strawberry lemonade to come back in stock so I can order it from you guys again! Much love and keep up the good work! ❤️❤️
The sound cutting through the bark is the best.
Crunchy goodness !
I finally got some Hercules candy after 3 years of watching hmm the chocolate peanut butter heart box was great and the bark...
@Quincy Hezekiah shut up bot

We've been doing RUclips before the internet was even a thing
Oops my bad...meant to say 2017 LOL.
She really took care of packing the box. I really enjoyed watching the process. Thank you for sharing. Love from Japan.
I just LOVE how Steve always brings up memories of his kids, especially when they were little . 🥰
Or “the old country” ... that’s always funny...

Yeah geez, if anyone ever needs to know why internal 90° angles are bad for engineering, just show 'em that image
Over the years watching these videos ,it still amazes me how careful each form of candy is made , packaged and even shipped. This family and group of friends truly go the extra effort to make their product excellent!
I think a Hercules box says I love you a lot more than a happy Valentine's day box. All I see is love at Hercules.
That cookie bark cutting, was an impeccable ASMR sound!!!
ASMR candy making video would be awesome

She packages everything with such respect ❤️
AwMawGawd. I can't believe Max has been there nearly four years. I remember when he started. You've come a long way baby.
I love Terry's voice! Yall are the wholesome content this world needs.
Whoever does the writing on the boxes at 10 minutes has amazing calligraphy!
You guys are so underrated, you should get likes right away, you deserve it
The crackling of the chocolate packaging is so satisfying! 💕🥰💕
Man! The care and attention to detail that y'all give to candymaking is Amazing!! The "foil rub" to make the impression on the hearts...You guys are the best!! Ayeee! SW La fan!
Max mentioning Great Escape brought out the nostalgia in me! My childhood! My elementary school used to have a trip there at the end of the school year every year, I haven’t been in ages.
Hercules candy is one of the best feelgood vlogs ever.Keep up the great work.
It's amazing how far this channel has come! I remember when it was only a couple thousand subscribers, truly awesome to see!
" It's Hercules Candy Time"
I just love you guys!! Teri is the greatest, very intelligent. Steve is so funny just putting up with everybody. I am in LOVE with Max!!! 💖💖💞. He is sooooo adorable! I'm gonna order soon and I will want a handwritten note from Max!!
The blurring skills on the package shipping info was hysterically well done!
Cara reminds me of my daughter when she was younger, she would request a pepperoni pizza with no pepperoni and would get upset if I suggested she got a cheese pizza. She's grown out of it now thankfully.
Glad to hear about you having some time off! It's well deserved!
Cheeseburger with no cheese
I use to ask for pepperoni pizza with no pepperoni 😂😂
I am just waiting until your store opens back up so I can take a weekend trip and stop in and check it out. My sister in law and I already have it planned. I do enjoy your videos always brings a smile to my face listening to you all.
We'll be here!
Quick Steve & Max and all the gang at Hercules Candy always make me laugh! They have the best attitudes about work. 😊
Haha thanks Linda!
Craig 👏👏👏 you are becoming quite the camera man!
Your questions to everyone had me engaged the whole time, even something as simple as Terry printing a label is cool to watch and learn.
It’s 12 in the morning and my birthday’s tomorrow but instead of sleeping I watching you guys😁💞
Happy birthday 🎂!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy birthday!
@@rjoyhks thank you!
@@illy5958 thank you!
your new worker is a keeper she no slouch !!
Mmmmmmm all that chocolate!!!! Mmmmmmm! Love that sound of the bark being cut, also when you pour the brittle on the table, dunno why I just love that sound.
I loved the chocolate boxing segment!!! Would love to see more!!
You guys are like coming home to family.
I am buying an order with part of my stimulus. I have always wanted to try your chocolates, the love your father shows making the chocolate is much appreciated. Those peppermints look delicious.
We can't wait for you order Sandra!
Max is Steve's candy making son and Craig films all.
You guys are awesome. I am so pleased that you are still doing your thing, making great sweets. I pray your company thrives for years to come.......😊
9:50 so organized, big labels, clear areas, awesome job.
Half way through the peppermint patties being coated my 5 year old joined me to watch, and said “They should call those polar bear thingies because of the white on the black.” I told him they were called Polar Bear Patties and he was like “I didn’t know that!!!” Good candy naming yall! 🥰
Looks like the name checks out!
YAY the crunch and slice!
Always fun watching a fresh Hercules video with the whole crew! I cannot believe that I have been subscribed to your channel all this time for FREE Craig! 🤣🤣🤣
Good thing you subscribed when you did because who knows how much longer it'll be free!
@@HerculesCandy 🤣🤣🤣 I know, right?!
Terry has quickly become my favorite thing about Hercules Candy.
ALWAYS
No, Steve is the best.
@@Docstantinople No Karen, I like them all equally I just wanted to join in 😄
@@byronmurphy1977 ok but why I gotta be a Karen though?
@@Docstantinople Karen who works there is the only good Karen on social media, all the rest I see are weirdos 😄
Got the cookie bark for Christmas for me and the family. It was fantastic!
Lucky family. Over here in England it’s expensive to ship - so I guess you’re adopting me now. Lol ❤️
@@TiggiTheWillful it gets expensive for shipping to Canada too.
I honestly love Karen so much. She is hilarious!
I can't wait to get another stimulus check so I can order chocolate pizza, peanut butter chocolate hearts, potato chip bark, cow chips, and a assorted box. I dream about it all the time.
Hurry up Joe!
@@HerculesCandy Joe isn't worried about us he's worried about other country's.
Steve is so good with the chocolate. He makes it look easy, which I’m sure it’s not. Appreciate your videos and had work!
I’ve been watching you guys since you were working out of the basement! So great to see how much y’all have grown. Much ❤️ from Philly!
Gotta agree, "Wonky" is a word. And it's understood across the country in VT.
Everything is so good at the candy store because all of it is made with LOVE.
I loved the vidya, Craig and Dylan. Lots of variety is what I like:) Thanks Hercules crew for all you do:)
Thanks Crystal!
That phone ringing scared me! lol. It was loud and I didn't expect it! Then I thought it was my phone ringing! lol
Have you thought about making the heart's filled with Carmel or marshmallow
Caramel would be wonderful !!
It'd be funny to do a calendar with the "masked" faces. Always enjoy the videos. Thinking of doing a road trip with my daughter this year after she graduates to your store. We're about 4hrs away
This 3 cookie bark with peanut butter drizzled on it, is my absolute favorite...3x ordered and the chips covered in chocolate and dipped in peanut butter is my second favorite

Good morning Taylor!
Just placed my order for all my family! So thankful for you all ♥️
I love watching Steve, he reminds me of my dad when he taught me to be a stone mason, really really miss those days......
Hi from Southern California,
I received my order on friday and it survived. The ice packs were still ice cold. My husband was home when it was delivered so he made me open it. Hahahaha.
My adult kids snub the chocolate potatoes chips at first. Tried it and loved it. My husband hid the Pecan turtles. Your chocolate and candy is Willy Wonka in my mouth. True craftmanship! I can't wait to travel and visit your store.
Finally after months of watching your videos I placed my first order! So excited! It would be awesome to see a boxing video including my order... 🙏🏼
Yes! I knew quitting my job would pay off! 😂😂😂😂. Love this channel
😂
Cannot express enough how great you guys are! Love the videos and the whole team. Highly recommend the assorted chocolates and cashew brittle!! ❤️
We got our first order last week! It was amazing and so fun to have a taste of Hercules!!
What a perfect way to start my day....a new Hercules video!
Thanks for the chocolate fix.
We're here for ya!
Just placed my second order today for some goodies from Hercules. Can’t wait to get it. A mix of hard candy, brittle and an array of chocolate covered items including vegan goodies. I am obsessed with your candy. 😍😍😍.
I miss you guys between vids. Thanks for the update!
He reminded me of my older brother when he yells for my mom saying MOM because he wants food
Got my order into So. California and yes, I agree the peppermint patty is really good. Thank you! everything arrived prefect.
Hi guys. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now, and I’m going to place my first order today. I’m so excited. I’ve been waiting, because I can’t decide what to get EVERYTHING looks so delicious. I hope I do everything right.🤩
Love you guys. May 2021 be your best year yet! 😍
i just bought some candy. Ive been watching since the beginning. Im so excited! :D
I literally just got my package im so happy about it. This family is amazing.
So when filling the valentine heart moulds “you gotta get it right in that window.... That happy medium”. You guys should have said “right in the sweet spot.”
omg if you guys did the hearts with crunchy peanut butter inside :o my heart would melt
Love watching the videos and conversation between Craig and max
I just realised there's not going to be a Mr Poley episode this year 😭
Me too :(
Who is he and why does he get his own video?
I just put my order in!! I have chocolate allergies but looking forward to my brittles and hard candy orders!! I subscribed to your RUclips channel and love watching!!
This is my favorite candy from your store. I've ordered it at least 3 times. So nummy! Keep making it.
Just found your channel yesterday it is fascinating what you guys do love it
Thanks Timmy!
Love the videos keep them coming
Cannot wait to see everyone’s face again ❤️
One day lol
These old videos make me sad seeing the people working we grew up with. They are gone now…I wish they would come back for a visit.
i’m watching this instead of doing my online work. i’ll eventually do it.
Seems like such a fun job. Yall seem like you have such a great staff ...and delicious candy!! Definitely putting my FIRST order in soon :-D
my friend owns a cake/candy shop she has just started valentines day orders, hopefully she will get em done by then lol
Hopefully! 🤞
My children would order a cheeseburger with no chees too!! Couldn’t get them to order just a hamburger. It had to be a cheeseburger
me: *watching max do chocolate hearts*
craig: “... unless they’re a monster that doesn’t like chocolate or peanut butter HAH”
me: 👁👄👁 “i guess i’m a monster”
Lol I’m the same 😆 not a fan of pb and chocolate together. Separate totally down for but together 🙅♀️
Does that make you a Cookie Monster?
I just recently ordered two packs of the watermelon hard candy and I absolutely love it! I can’t wait for the strawberry lemonade to come back in stock so I can order it from you guys again! Much love and keep up the good work! ❤️❤️
