100 Year Old Candy Company Has Never Made THIS Before!

[@margaretdevries8090]

I think Julia took to candy making so easy she can do everything! I thought she had done it all before to0! Every job from making the candy to packaging to setting up the orders is important and they all do their jobs excellently! And seem to be happy and get along ! Keep up the good work y’all ❤️

[@fondapassmore5256]

You go Julia! You making candy is such a beautiful art form. You make it look easy but I know it has to be everything to a tee. You being picky shows how much you care. The filming of this video was excellent. So enjoyable!! Thanks for the great content., Everyone there is so nice and playful. So much fun to watch. Love you guys!!

[@juliafromhercules]

I love details✨ thank you so much ❤

[@marymccowan6629]

I have been watching since the basement days. And Steve was still in his shell. ❤❤ I love your videos . Julia took to candy making like a fish to water

[@A.J.Collins]

In bronze casting, we call the removal of flashing, "chasing." (In your case, the flashing would be the thin amount of chocolate that Kara was breaking off.)

[@bradykelso8682]

Thanks! What a pleasure it is watching your videos! Cheers!

[@hellofrank46]

I love that your candy is hand made with dedication and love. Greetings from Argentina

[@fullerfamily5190]

That overfilled bunny is just “earmarked “! 😂

[@HerculesCandy]

Exactly!

[@Exiled.New.Yorker]

The point of using a whisk is to aerate. The creamer machine has already beat plenty of air into it. If Julia used a whisk to mix flavor into hot candy, there would be air bubbles in the candy from uneven aeration.

[@StonedtotheBones13]

Yeah, I think most ppl are just going "well a whisk mixes things better than a fork or spoon" not really realizing that the medium affects that.

[@delaghetto4616]

Just got my order after years of watching and wanting to try and everything was great from the hard candy to the chocolate!

[@autumnm2075]

I'm with Julia on the vacation type, sitting by a body of water relaxing, trying new restaurants.

[@marymccowan6629]

I am with you Julia . I like your kinda vacation.

[@kennedyfrank80]

My favorite way to go to vacation is camping which we do a lot in the summer. Just laying out in a chair relaxing listening to the outdoor sounds at night with a campfire. That’s the best.

[@Wanda6308]

I haven't watched in a long while, now I am seeing new faces. I still miss some of the original people, but I know you're new ones are doing a wonderful job

[@michellem4118]

Also had to watch the end again cause Steve's reaction to Terry's reaction to the scary bunny behind her 😅

[@goo3168]

my favorite type of vacation is maybe going to a new city and hopefully attending a concert, enjoying all the sights they have to offer. indulging in local restaurants/cafes, hitting up antique shops or small business shops to find cute souvenirs, and maybe even an art museum the see the creativity of the locals! Ooooorrr, having a staycation, like Julia, and focusing on my hobbies that are fun to me like art, taking a stroll on the nice part of town, going to a cozy cafe to read... and bask in nature at a park on a beautiful day :o)

[@juliafromhercules]

I loooove concerts too!!

[@TheGribbleNator]

I think it was cake decorating that lead me to this relaxing algorithm of candy making, but regardless of how I got here, I love that in addition to your videos being very calming, I learn about the candy making process!!!

[@HerculesCandy]

I would not argue with any of those vacations!

[@grannysquared7140]

My perfect vacation is on a paddle boat cruise down the Mississippi River, which I am doing in September

[@prjndigo]

playing with mud and runny clay will give you the corn-syrup skills thin chocolate off the robing is the same as the thin hard candy between the drops - flashing - so breaking it off can be called dropping, de-flashing, deburring, shelling and one lady I did creme and robe with called it smoothing. You can actually use a smoothing knife that works like a flashing knife, one of the little long-arm skill saw tables with a little round shield and a round cable blade will do the work really quick. Never use a whisk when stirring up creme because they can cause a lot of crystals and lose heat quickly in the air, the correct tool is the egg silhouette shaped wooden paddle that matches the curves of the copper basin. You can keep that tool warm by the burner and its slow to heat and cool and won't make many crystals.

[@williamforbes7156]

The candy dripper @17:33 could be modified to hold like two? Say 2 flavors and you could have like a swirl or a tiedye candy, idk i struggle with basic caramel but trying to juggle 3 different things is a no-go. They are delicate and you need haste but also precision! Flavors could be fruit like berry or cola idk

[@lewislgm]

My wife her sister and myself made it into the store today these are incredible also we got to try the smores bark OMG that was incredible Thank You we had BLAST visiting your store :)

[@jonitabrown4921]

I would work here for free just because it looks so satisfying😊

[@POTSy-EDS-Zebra]

I had made a comment before about using something like the scoop/sieve she used to scoop out the tails and I got so excited when I watched this and saw y’all had gotten one! Not taking credit I’ve just always wondered if it would be easier for y’all to use something like that and to hear that it’s much easier just eased my mind that I didn’t have to wonder anymore haha

[@sierra565]

Imagine if you did a "sweethearts" thing similar to the twin bunnies at Valentine's day, so lovers can break it apart and eat it together.

[@HerculesCandy]

Awww cute idea 🥰

[@dawnypuke]

Excellent video love the bunnies and Julia is excellent 👍 🐰

I don’t have ocd but those bunny tails are different this year ! The tails are on side ways ! 😂😂😂

[@ashleighetheridge127]

I was thinking to myself, have they ever dropped one of those bowls while carrying them. About 1 minute later my thoughts were answered 😅

[@StonedtotheBones13]

One of the things I love is that even tho the question might've been answered before, Scott or Craig usually asks a lot of questions a viewer might.

[@user-ii3vn8tn3q]

Saylors Candies , when I was little and they were still in business, made a rum patty . I still look for that recipe

[@Arcella1981]

I have a question, when making the impressions of the bunnies into the cornstarch ( or what ever design you are going to make ) why not just press down and hold then bring it up and then just go back down? instead of moving them out looking at them and then having to reposition the cornstarch board again to just press again? ( this is a genuine question, because I am sure there is a reason for it )

[@crocheting-around-the-planet]

Why do you use a huge ladle to mix in the color and flavor? It seems like the absolute worst tool to use. Use a mixing paddle, it will stop the splashing.
