We Made Our Most SOUR Candy Yet!

We Made Our Most SOUR Candy Yet! And we didn't even add any more citric or malic acid than usual! Our theory is that with ribbon candy there's more surface area than traditional hard candy for the citric and malic acid to hit your tongue. So you get more sour in every bite.

💑 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!

Yay Steve's wearing the shirt I sent. The graphics made me laugh when I saw it. Spaceballs is the film I always rewatch.

[chickenrichard]

Thank you and the entire team for always providing a clear and concise look at how traditional candy making is performed. I can't wait to take my son to the shop one of these days!

[lordgiantsbane]

They had to use the coconuts as horses because the film’s budget was so low and they couldn’t afford to get horses, trainers, and vets so they improvised it and it became a calling card for the movie.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail was made in 1975!! I had to look it up, but I knew it was not in the ‘80’s because that is when I first watched it and it was old then! I just love the banter you all have! That is what makes these videos so much fun!!

[theresia]

I finally went to Hercules Candy few days ago after watching their videos for years! I got to put my pin in the map 😆😆 Thank you Terry and Steve. I love the sour candy!!

New candy idea that's either brilliant or crazy, maybe both.

Coffee ribbon candy filled with any of the following:
Caramel
Vanilla cream
Chocolate
Nutella
Marshmallow fluff
Raspberry cream
Irish cream

Than if you did a few different filled ones you could take the beginning and end pieces that aren't filled and make a mocha almond chocolate bark.

I showed my mom this video and she had a flashback to when she was a kid and having those ribbon candies at Christmas.

Spamalot was Monty Python’s Broadway show. So funny.

[britneymichelle]

Bring back muckadoos and aldi/bj grocery videos 😭 I rewatch the old ones all the time 😂 I miss the cooking videos with your mom too 😢

[LilithGrace]

My sister and I just bought a bag of these and we're not disappointed! They have such good flavor!!! It's the perfect amount of sour and the watermelon was my favorite. 10/10

[brenden]

I spend way to much time watching you guys make candy. Lol keep up the good work!!

[Some_Idiot_on_the_Internet]

My nephews are obsessed with sour candy. This would really make their day.

[danielorozco]

That beautiful galaxy midnight blue 🌌 looks amazing 🤤

[MsBanana]

The videography of that intro was Keep up the good work guys!

[shannonwuke]

I love watching you guys making sweets together. The talking and the laughter is great. My arms ache just watching you pull the goo!

[geosekiro]

I remember when I was in 6th grade and I watched your videos, I can tell that business is thriving and so is your editing skills! What a blast from the past, love the content!

[ChuckCanada]

I lost how many times Quick Steve said ''It's good''.

Must be pretty good. :)

[JakeB]

I'm making some candy today! I tested first with just melting sugar and using maple syrup because I had nothing else on hand. It made these Mapley glass candies. I have some citric acid coming today and some flavoring I'm reaaaalllyy excited. Everything about this excites me even just seeing the cool little tool he used to scrape the pot. It amazes me the things candy makers have found that just work.

[SandraWeierman]

I love the blue so pretty. But I don't like Rasbery all that much. I had a thought of chocolate ribbon filled with coconut cream. Now that sounds almost as good as chocolate caramel filled ribbon candy. Almost. Oooh, and a spicy chocolate sounds good!
