From Starch To Finish: How We Make Mango Cream Eggs

[@sierra565]

Steve is a busy, busy guy, but he's never in a hurry. Be more like Steve. :)

[@dismalrealms3587]

Cuz he's high all the time

[@Smileythesilent]

My favourite part is the brushing of the creams after sifting, it's so satisfying how quickly the colour pops out of the whiteness😁

[@mshafer2006]

I have been watching y’all since the very last year y’all were in the basement and I still love every video. I did go back and watch all the videos up to the last year in the basement and not a day goes by that when I see the notification that y’all put up a new video I still get excited to watch. Regardless of the length of video, I make the time to watch each one start to finish. By the way Hello from Minneola Florida

[@HerculesCandy]

Thanks so much for all the support Michael!

[@kelleyhiner1361]

Michael I haven’t been watching that long how do I start watching them from the very beginning in sequence? I love them all so much.they brighten my day

[@Uniquelyyours1]

The starch to finish series are some of my fav vidyas to watch, Craig:) The eggs are so yummy to eat. Thanks, Hercules crew, for all you do:)

[@bradhuff6879]

I think when he brushed the creams,it was the most satisfying part to me. Great video,really enjoyed.

[@craigmiesterable]

Greg is a great addition to the team. I hope he stays long term. He brings fresh eyes and a fun quirkyness to work. They should start doing Greg memes or have someone write down his quotes.

[@bonniebohannon5368]

I am enjoying the new members, Cooper’s excitement and knowledge is contagious. I like the videos where Scott is the camera guy bc his questions are genuine and I love his voice when he learns something new….. BUT this video when Craig laughs takes me home 💕 have to go rewatch some old no egg videos .

[@lauravalles3792]

Gosh you’ve got a great bunch of people working at Hercules! Compliments to Corporate and their hiring. A fantastic way to enjoy my breakfast while watching your crew! 👍😎

[@travelguy67]

I really enjoy the family moments on this one. Don't poke Corporate, Craig!

[@Cynthea_Lee]

Karo corn syrup pours... It's what I grew up on when making candy.... The fact that it comes in buckets and you can pick it up with your hand fascinates me every time I watch y'all do it.

[@kennedyfrank80]

Great to see you guys being able to post again loved the video And it’s a great way to start my week back to school

English woman here: Boxing Day is traditionally the day when household staff/servants got their Christmas boxes. It’s also known as st Stephens day as referred to in “good king Wenceslas”.

[@HerculesCandy]

Good to know!

[@bunnieowensowens1146]

Max your always so busy making the cream candy now mango that sounds so good great job max you deserve a raise for sure

[@edgarsalgado981]

Hope you guys keep these fort a while, planning an order for next month

Craig is correct, Boxing Day is the day after Christmas. Thanksgiving is on the second Monday in October 🇨🇦.

[@jennyrine7216]

Nice to hear your voice Craig 😊

[@allytatti]

CHOCOLATE GRATING TIP!! If you dont do this already, put the grater flat on the table and grate towards yourself. Much easier on the arms and shoulders and you get more pull. If you're worried about the face down grater scratching your stainless steel, put a cloth or a cutting board down. Hope it helps!

[@maddieadams75]

Nice team ♥️ always good to hear Craig’s voice

[@ChooseForToday]

I like the tails--makes the eggs looks like spaceships! :) I'm on board for the mice for Halloween, too.

[@TheSlippydude]

It would be an amazing idea to use the egg molds to make 'Mice creams' for Halloween!

[@HerculesCandy]

I agree!

[@PippiLong1]

I feel guilty just watching and not jumping in to help. You make us feel like we are part of the production. Enjoying the view. 🐣 🐥

[@HerculesCandy]

Haha thanks Pippi!

[@AlwayzPr0]

just got my cream egg and 1/2lb assorted creams, excited for Easter to share with my family!!

[@nicolelocin5507]

cooper looks really efficient making the cream eggs :))

[@mandas677]

It’s my favorite thing to watch them get the cream scraped out. Especially when the cream is super firm.

[@mr.feathers8697]

I saw Max at his new job!!!!! I didn't want to bother him.

[@trinivegan7649]

You had me at mango 🥭

[@HerculesCandy]

I see you have a refined palette 🧐

[@rondalees]

Brittle is delish… I think I am a traditionalist and like peanut the best… we would make small home batches with my dad at Christmas when we were growing up :). My adult daughter loved the box of turtles and I ate part of a big turtle…mmmm. Haven’t tried the other candies yet bc they are for Easter.

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

Cooper is getting very comfortable with the camera being WAY TOO close (Craig). I appreciate the camera angles and the intrusive filming (also Craig) 😄

[@HerculesCandy]

I'm here for ya!

[@ProvingSpooky]

Honestly, Craig Greg is doing a great job with those creams. I see no tails!👏

[@mc-sp8zr]

20:40 This reminds me of the inside to a Cadbury Cream Egg (and yeah, they're totally smaller than they used to be)

[@HamiltonMechanical]

Just got a notification that my latest order shipped! second time i've ordered from you guys, and DEFINITELY won't be my last! You guys are now my go to for unique cool holiday candy :) looking forward to my kid's reactions to the potato chip bunnies!

[@HerculesCandy]

Are you going to tell them that there's potato chips inside? Or is that going to be a surprise for them? Haha

[@HamiltonMechanical]

@@HerculesCandy I'm not saying ANYTHING :) haha

I'd love to see how buttercream and chocolate buttercream are made again if that's possible 😊

I’m eggcited for Easter 🐣

[@HerculesCandy]

Same! I'm so hoppy!

[@thisthatandtheother2226]

So, I love your vids! When people ask why don't you pour it, they are probably thinking of Karo Corn Syrup. It is pourable corn syrup.

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

You guys are really funny today.

[@Perpetuallytired28]

I was not wearing my glasses and was confused about why you had goldfish crackers in your thumbnail

[@HerculesCandy]

🤣

I wish if I can come to your shop one day and try all types of hard candy ❤️ I am a big fan of your family I have been following you since the beginning keep going ❤️😍 Mariam from Libya 🇱🇾

[@HerculesCandy]

Thanks for watching for so long Mariam!

[@harpoon_bakery162]

Family picture would be awesome

[@daveazar]

Why not get a electric grater? I worked at a restaurant that had a commercial cheese grater that had multiple head for shredded and course and fine grated settings

[@Sailorkyun]

They are a lil old fashioned in here hahaa

[@daveazar]

@@Sailorkyun well they used to fill peanut butter cups with a knife and they covered everything by hand.. gotta keep nudging then

[@kelleyhiner1361]

Every time I see this pic for this video I think the creams are goldfish crackers. I love all the videos so much. I watch every day. I wish I lived nearer because I would ask for a job. It seems like a work place that would be a lot of fun.

[@echoalphagolfyankee7204]

use a food processor instead of a cheese grater, there are grater blades for food processors

[@lockout6896]

Your candy is amazing.any way to get on a email list for when you have watermelon hard candy in stock?

[@mikos321]

The egg cream: white cream with some nice flavor with a mango cream core (yolk)

[@amersfreon]

MANGO is the best!!!!

[@jacquelinehunter8452]

For the chocolate cheese grater thing… have to tried using a food processor with the grater wheel attachment?

[@ZachSwena]

You need to put the corn syrup in a modified slushy machine with a bigger spout and is big enough to fit 10 gallons of syrup...

[@roxannesides3200]

could you use silicone molds?

[@Sunriru]

id love to see the molds used for a peanut butter cream with nuts covered in chocolate~

[@robertneitzel8348]

How's max doing since leaving for the new job it's been quite awhile

[@jetfuel3053]

Could keep the corn syrup in the freezer and then scoop it out instead of handling it? I know it won't freeze solid but just become a harder gel...according to my good friend Google

[@splashbrothers5975]

It’s so odd because my name is Cooper and good to meet you cooper

[@momof2boys104]

I want the blue raspberry like Craig

[@blacksun721]

A 10 pound brick of chocolate sound pretty expensive

[@qazwiz]

YOUR CALCULATIONS FOR CALORIES does that include the chocolate in the enrober or just the creams inside?

[@HerculesCandy]

Actually if you go back I was talking about the hard candy, idk how much would be in a batch of cream 🤔 I haven't done that math yet haha

[@Kaytie_Alexis]

Why do you use corn starch for the molds rather than flour or powdered sugar?

[@leftear99]

I'd be willing to bet that it's because cornstarch is the least hygroscopic of all the food-grade starches, meaning it doesn't absorb moisture from the atmosphere and won't get sticky/clumpy like sugar and flour can. Sugar is particularly hygroscopic, so even though it's a logical contender flavor-wise, it would make the outsides of the candy tacky and difficult to coat.

[@Jmac1962]

I assume y'all recycle the used corn syrup buckets, with how many you go through? How do you deal with that?

[@janetraona9071]

There’s a video that posted within last 6 months showing how starch is removed and disposed and refill starch into container.

Thanksgiving is a bigger deal in the US than Xmas.

[@connieburian5848]

Would it taste any different if there was too much starch on the egg?

[@HerculesCandy]

Probably not much of a taste difference because corn starxh doesn't have much flavor to begin with. And there would have room really be a lot for the chocolate to not cover it

[@Craz1eCh1ck05]

Why not get a food processor to grade the chocolate?

[@bonniebohannon5368]

Yes I changed my alarm sound bc that sound for some reason is horrendous 🤣

[@karenschneider1966]

Why does it have to be poured so slow for the creams?

[@pollywog06091964]

It's very hot liquid and if u pour it fast it may splash onto someone and cause a very bad burn and it's a waste of syrup if its spilled.

[@MARKluvsAZcards]

As a candy maker it's still odd to see tapioca added bare handed rather than just pouring it or using spatula for assistance. Just a table higher than the pot, bucket does have a yellow pour assist. You get a good rhythm and make alot.

[@cassidysummer509]

The end of egg season is VERY sad... I still need the dark marshmallow eggs and both Peanut Butter ones.... SO sad....

[@BigDawg99xx]

How many different starch pattern moulds do you guys got. Is it hard changing the molds around.

Nope, you just take one out and slide another in. I think there's like 7 or so shapes that we have
