This candy makes you CRY when you make it!

Peppermint hard candy really makes you cry if you breathe in enough of it all at once, I'm really not exaggerating! You'll see Julia and Ezra both wince throughout making this candy. And it used to be a lot worse when we had the candy shop in the basement and didn't have a vent right above the candy stove!

💑 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!

That transition from Julia taking the temp to Ezra pouring the shots was insane 😂 so cool

[FondaPassmore]

Ezra is doing so well at candy making! Julia is a good teacher and they make a good team! Love watching the process❤

[betsycrockett]

Y'all are truly the best. First I get to watch you make delicious candy. Then I ordered some. Not only was it more delicious than I imagined, you included a personal note! This is one very happy consumer.

[linzertube]

Great skit! Helga and Batman in one video!!! It’s a GREAT DAY!!!! Love the outtakes, too!
That’s so generous to support another small business, Craig! Cool products, too!

I know Ezra is probably camera shy or simply not talkative, but he seems very sweet and talented and I want him to know we're rooting for him! 😁

[Flyhighsky]

You're a funny guy Craig. Your editing is humorous. Thanks for sharing you and your family's lives.

[chappy]

I'm a big fan of Ezra. He is just quiet and methodical and focused. He has caught on and really turned into a master candy maker. Good job, Ezra!!

[Pink]

This was hilarious. 😂 Love your family so much. Such a sweet family. So lucky. 😊💕

[bulldogsrock]

Ezra looks like a pro now pulling the candy😊. Thanks for highlighting him today Craig. Nice video😊. I should have waited until the end to comment…..OMG! You guys truly are hilarious!

[claremccrory]

Great job guys and I love the Helga/Batman ending! 😂❤

[newyorker]

I always enjoy your videos. For me they are very interesting and informative, while at the same time being totally professionally presented.
I just ordered more candy as Halloween gifts to friends across the USA. They always enjoy the surprise of receiving your special candy. A treat they were not expecting.

As someone who has made peppermint fudge before, I know what you experience when you add the peppermint extract to it. You guys are doing a great job all of ya. Keep it up.

[RisingTidesAC]

Who talks less? Steve or Ezra? We love you Steve and Ezra!

[christa]

Julia needs to be cloned. She is excellent at everything she does. Such a great worker!!!

[jackiepead]

You guys are so funny! I loved Helga and Batman! Plus I wanted to say thanks for my order. The candy was so well packed that there were no breaks in the ribbon candy! So thanks from Virginia!

[jode_ster]

Hi from Australia, you guys! Thanks for sharing your sugary adventures!! 😄

[ichaukan]

Was not expecting to see Steve rolling as Ozzy for Halloween this year. Cheers, y'all!
