This process could go so much faster and easier if they would just hire some Oompa Loompas.

I'll talk to corporate about that

Appreciate the metric conversion, always had a hard time picturing the amounts, this makes it easier.

[@mellowmanta8975]

I love how opalescent and tarry looking the still too "droopy" candy is. Truly gorgeous

[@steelsquire2153]

And this is why I love this channel it’s magic for your eyes, there is candy, pretty colors, and it’s just therapeutic.

[@Rangemaster26]

Maybe it's just me, but I like the videos SO much better with just the explanations without all the laughing & talking. It's amazing in today's obsession with speed and automation to see people actually hand-making and hand-packaging their candy. WELL DONE, and Great Videos!!!!

[@EnglishVirgo]

That is a gorgeous shade of blue. Some excellent asmr triggers too.

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

Thank youuu!

[@inchworm2402]

So are your teeth and tongue.😅

[@SmilingNinja]

Yeah! It's like neon, metallic blue!

[@joebenzz]

When she folds it on the table with the spatula and it melts is so satisfying.

[@myriadhues457]

Omg it looks like it would be fun to play with the semi cooled candy. And when it was being pulled it was such a dazzling blue!

[@ajuma55]

I would never want to arm-wrestle with Julia. She is SO STRONG!!! She amazes me!

[@PixscleArt]

The candy looks so cool around the 10 minute mark where it's an inky blob filled with streaks and flecks of bright electric blue

[@Gabe54607]

Thank you for those great nuggets of information about what's going on, I appreciate it😊 and using the subtitles is perfect 👌 Craig, I have a request for more packaging videos, please! Those are always great to watch. Thx😊

[@plovergrrl]

First time viewer and I won't lie - I didn't get any ASMR tingles from this, but I watched the whole thing because it's just fascinating! I'm going to check out more. 😂

[@willw7743]

These videos make me want to work at your candy shop. So cool to see candy made in such large batches.

[@a.p.5429]

Corn syrup handling is an art isn't it. Thanks for another quiet video. I really like there aren't loud sounds where stuff is hitting together. The whole process is fascinating.

[@prokath7447]

The texture of the melting candy just soothes something in my brain. I can't explain it, the camera angle was perfect for it 🤤

[@crystalheart9]

Gorgeous blue color on the candy, skillful work making it and delightful ASMR sounds. Thank you for sharing.💙🥰🍬

[@619chrisoriginal]

I love the quiet videos

[@intimidate2161]

Making me hungry just watching it. Awesome video. Here is a skill a robot will never achieve.

[@PatTheBat]

Interesting to see that you included the dry bags into the total weight of candy.😊

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

Yes, the candy makers make sure to include 8.3 oz. of candy in every 8oz. bag to ensure that the customers receive 8oz. or more of the actual candy.

[@jacquelinemamahiggzhiggins2951]

This is the comment I was looking for and the info I wanted👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jonwoodson4971]

I love these silent videos so much. Thank you for continuing to make them. I had no idea that that table had a cooling system built in! I’m curious about the cleaning process. Do you wait to clean the copper kettles until they cool down? If so, why?

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

We don't necessarily wait to clean them as much as the candy makers are busy making candy and can only get to cleaning in between batches

[@enyalacerate2521]

I couldn't take my eyes off of the blue because it was so pretty! 😍

[@tammycox9789]

I prefer no talking one's. Like this one.

This is the perfect channel for you then!

[@finecallmejane]

This is kind of the perfect thing to read by and I never knew it until today! Also the blue candy looks so delicious!

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

I'm glad that people can find all sorts of uses for these types of videos!

[@ni_wink84]

I don’t understand how some peoples brains work, (this isn’t a derogatory comment) when I read my brain is immersed in visualizing the characters and their actions, while I read the rest of the world turns off and I meld into the world of the books narrative, I couldn’t watch a video or listen to anything else because I’m so into the story world of that book, don’t get me wrong I can multitask like crazy while reading lol, make food, clean, work on something like my car etc but I don’t want to watch something intricate while reading, and most sounds are tuned out as I hear the characters voices while I read 😂 just me maybe I’m a complete weirdo

[@KenMaerran]

See kids...there's a reason why you learn chemistry in school...you could learn to make candy! :p

[@aiyacopby5781]

I just got the hard candy in blue raspberry and watermelon. Omg. Sooooooo good

I didn’t know I had an ASMR response until I watched these. I definitely have one.

[@JoshFrancia-vy4wo]

Hi there, I'm also a small candy maker. I was having the same issue with specifically my blue raspberry batches getting sticky when adding the flavoring at the end. I did suspect it was the excess moisture. Do you also utilize the same method for other flavors or just the blue raspberry? Thank you!

[@disneygal200016]

Beautiful color blue. Awesome process.😊

You must have very definite parameters for temperature and humidity throughout the work areas! And boy, there is a lot of strength and trust between the two people carrying a kettle of candy off the cooker to the work table!

[@Chefsantatravels]

Wow I love watching your videos I'm a retired chef never made candy now it's 70 years old I wanna start making candy at home you guys should put out a book on how to make candy unless you have one if you do please let me know. This blue candy i am drooling God bless stay safe stay strong and have a great holiday season ho ho ho✌✌👍🎅

Wow. what an amazing process. great work!

Old school candies are awesome and your shop looks awesome. Ill definitely be ordering from you. The lady making the candy is cute. Subscribed.

[@treyt86]

Ooooh that tapping at 10:20 was the real ASMR goodness! More of that please 😊

[@clareg6927]

I think the reason why the lady was scrabbling the pot is so the sugar crystals don’t stick or burn I love watching these videos the people who do this are really clever

[@moonlight5050]

Wow I didn't realise the table is watercooled..!! What temp would the sugar be by the time it is put through the final sweet shaping 🤔

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

You mean as it's getting pulled out? I actually don't know, but maybe in the future we can show that in one of the videos

[@jaybedcrespo7844]

OMG, she looks so happy!!! I think she's really loves her job😅

[@Anna-nj7lh]

The tapping sound is so nice though😊

[@grifftech]

Dumb question, but it horrified me to see their bare legs exposed when they picked up that molten vat of sugar. I am sure you are super careful but all it takes is one slip and.... good lord I can't imagine that splashing on your legs. I would think at least a long leather apron to protect you somewhat

[@susieast450]

It's because they've never had an accident apparently. After the first major accident, it'll change. They always wait until an accident happens 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@sophiegeorge2816]

I would have thought they would have had to wear trousers and a long apron

[@Colourmad314]

Health and safe in different parts of the world have different laws, understanding and accountability. What is allowed in America would definitely not be in UK & Europe….with hot sugar, lifting and carrying heavy weights….but that’s the difference we all understand and appreciate watching 👀 and learning from each others experience

[@qkwnwkw]

It could've been worse. She could've lifted it up completely naked.

[@stinkyfungus]

​@@susieast450 Family run buisness since 1910... I think they know what they are doing.

[@uxtalzon]

9:47 she crushed that bubble nicely

[@TheAshley9697]

I’ve always been curious, how do y’all clean those precious pots from the previous batch of hard candy…neattt I actually got to see her clean one!!! Welp that answered my question 😂😂😂

[@scottwilliams4383]

She's keeping stray crystals from forming which would make the candy grainy.

[@AnthonyPatterson-qp7bx]

This chilled me clean out

Yep best advertising you could have done. Just had to order some.

This is just fascinating to watch. Question, do you have recipes that don't use the corn syrup, or classic candy?

[@DrDsHere]

Thanks for the quiet video. Nice to have no voiceover or music. Just wish it was longer.

[@davidwhittworth1841]

I recognise a lot of this process from working at Callard & Bowsers in Halifax, Uk in ‘81. I worked on the Nuttals Mintoe,s line. A bit more mechanised than your process but basically the same principle.

At a rough guess, I would say they made between 3,000 and 3,500 pieces of candy. Impressive.

[@philliplopez8745]

Mmm , blue , my favourite flavour

[@gwynnblaidd]

Scrubbing prevents the sugar crystals from burning on the side of the kettle

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

You're right!

[@AsagaoSTL]

Curious why the warming table for pulling isn’t used for candy canes. I’m sure there’s a good reason, I’m just wondering.

[@christinekesler8964]

I guess that since these candles have a stripe they can be called "blue ribbon candy"! 💙💙💙

Is it possible to make candy without using corn syrup?

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

Depends on the type of candy you're making

[@ObiJ3ff]

@@HerculesCandyASMR What are the types of candy that can be made without corn syrup?

[@imalikconnor]

What do you do with the remaining blobs of candy when you are done cutting?

[@agf740]

Love your videos! Is raspberry flavoring heavier or thicker than other flavorings? The cranberry candy seemed easier to handle

[@LoneWombat2126]

I would love if you made a regular sour (not super sour) blue raspberry candy. The regular ones need a little bit of tartness to round out the flavor a bit.

[@Greg_Carter304]

Id love to see you make the sour jolly ranchers that were discontinued.

[@HWPcville]

About copper pots. Is there any concern the copper will tarnish and effect the taste of candy? Maybe the pots are utilized frequently enough that tarnish isn't a problem? Thanks for posting.

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

That's never been an issue and copper is used by pretty much all candy makers because of the even heating properties

[@maryamjoha]

Sugar is acidic, so if it is used frequently there is no tarnish. Corrosion on the other hand can mean a pot will need refinishing or retiring. Some old companies will still refinish your pots and pans. They're few and far between. Buying a copper kettle is an investment for this reason.

[@happilyisolated]

Is corn syrup a kind of gum base? It looks nothing like I imagined it would be 😮 Really neat :)

[@annyphu6528]
