Steve built his successor in Julia. She is so smart, a brilliant woman. She can do anything with such excellence. Watch her hand motions and finish on each dip. Don't ever lose Julia. She is so gifted.

CRANBERRY!!!!

My mother would have absolutely loved these. Just seeing the thumbnail made me think of her and tear up. Keep up the amazing work.

[@HerculesCandy]

Awww I'm sorry for your loss, I'm sure she was a great Mother

[@angrymater13la]

@HerculesCandy I lost her when I was 13 and I'm about to be 43 but never gets easier. She absolutely loved chocolate covered cherries. They where her favorite.

[@augustseven9243]

It also made me think of my mom.

[@kathybyers398]

My mother loved chocolate covered cherries, too. I used to bite them open, suck out the cherry, spit it in the trash and then eat the rest of the candy.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I made these according to Steves recipe a couple years ago. My mom loved them. It was messy but they did turn out very nice.

[@robinbrook5624]

I want some of these this fall!! Living in south, chocolate is a no go for shipped chocolate. ;-) I can see enjoying these during the holiday season with a big cup of coffee. Nibbling the bottom off, sucking out the cherry, then eating the truffle and chocolate. 😁

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Wow, you put a lot of work into those bombs! They must be incredibly delicious. Hey, I didn't know a candy store could have a cement mixer! Is it mainly used for coating cherries? Do you think you could put cranberries in there and put maybe three of them in the chocolate coating to make truffles? 😋 Fun video!

[@Parodyofawitch]

I’m making peppermint creams like y’all do and it’s taking a week too😂 I’ll pass on attempting these!

One of my favorites ugggghhh pure decadency ❤❤❤❤

[@aj383]

Those look good, but I feel like the outer shell should be a dark salted chocolate to balance the sweet of the milk cordial and truffle.

[@TM-ow6dv]

I think even one inner layer of chocolate would enough, but I ‘m wondering why they didn’t enrobe it after the stick failed.. guess the truffle layer is to hard.,

[@christa526]

@@TM-ow6dv The stick went straight through the truffle layer and hit the chocolate robe of the cherry. The truffle layer should have been thicker most likely. Anyway this is still sweetness overload

Now this is going to show my age because I remember her, but can Julia speak with a British accent? She reminded of Julia Vhild when she said “with my heart” basically eye balling the sugar. Ms. Child had the same attitude with her cooking.

I don't see why not!

[@sandyleonard1605]

Not gonna lie, when Terry said how much it cost my mouth dropped.

[@lucidality]

Just wondering, why can’t you put the cherries in the chocolate enrober? I feel like that would save you guys so much time

[@LadidadidaTV]

Looks absolutely delicious. I went to order some for my grandmothers birthday, but it costs over $17 for the cheapest shipping method to Indiana. Is this a mistake? Are you guys located outside the United States or something?

[@HerculesCandy]

Unfortunately that's the price that we get charged by either FedEx or UPS. Usually the high shipping costs are because products need to be shipped so quickly before they melt. Our cold packs are only good for up to 48 hours. Another reason for high shipping costs is if it's in a rural area. Rural areas are just harder logistically to get things shipped to quickly, so carriers have to charge us more.

[@LadidadidaTV]

@@HerculesCandy I'm located in Indianapolis, Indiana. I think it's in the top 15 biggest cities in the United States, not very rural at all. That's a shame ups and fedex charge that much for shipping. The candy all looks delicious though :)

[@Nailbeautyguru]

All you need to do is put the cherry on the stick straight out of the icing sugar, just before coating it with chocolate. Actually, that's what I thought you guys were going to do.

[@CrunchyMom70]

Try using wooden sticks like for candy apples that are pointy on one end maybe able to stab into the chocolate but since it’s really juicy inside it wouldn’t work after seeing it

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

13:40 really I like these without the giant toothpick stick. 21:03 well forget eating chocolates without alerting everyone else 😅. Very noisy packaging. The ringlets are so satisfying.

[@chaoticdece2661]

I found y'alls videos recently and made a giant wishlist on your webstore, just to have a dream that I won the chance to pick as much of yalls candy as I could say in 30 seconds. Needless to say, I was rattling off items that totaled like 300$ and it all got thrown away less than 5 minutes later by a waiter. Why are my dreams so cruel?

All I can think of when they tried to stick the stick into that truffle is the Dibbler character in the Disk World books by Terry Pratchett. He was always selling something on a stick, but in his case it was usually something rather disgusting. 🤣
