Inside The Largest Handmade Candy Factory | Made Here | Popular Mechanics

For a century, Hammond's Candies has been hand-making its world-famous confections in Denver. Clearly, there's something sweet in the water out there-so for the latest episode of the Popular Mechanics series "MADE HERE," we visited the factory where old family recipes and a love of artisanal products continue to make Hammond's a magical place.
It all began when Carl T. Hammond, Sr. dropped out of high school and got a job as an apprentice at a candy factory. After years of toiling at different factories, Hammond ventured out on his own and opened up Hammond's Candy Company in 1920.

That one woman army, she does a lot of stuff at this factory, kudos to her

[@LindaClements]

Arthritis Early for sure - WOW

[@Pfromm007]

She better be the best paid, legit magic lady

[@fredsafarowic3149]

Amazing but they better have the woman with the tattooed arm heavily insured. She's incredible. That kind of confidence can only come with a lot of practice!

[@Pikachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

The amount of work is just insane 💪 More power to you all. Especially the ladies.

[@RR_Zarp-Darpy]

Why th e men do?

[@leighsanchez481]

Just came across this video, absolutely brilliant, that lady was lifting up the candy as though it was nothing. The others were working really hard too. Wow what else can I say. Well done everyone.

[@candieslittle]

I love Hurcleys candy making videos. They don't have all the big machines and do alot of hands on candy making.

[@jointthief8077]

I agree I was literally coming into the comments to say that it's kinda point less to say handmade if your using Machines Hercules does little to no machines at all

[@valariesrisingsun7937]

Well that's because they're family ran. This is a big company. And it's still done by hand. Pretty silly of you guys.

Yes! I Love Hercules Candy!!! I've been subscribed to them for a couple years now an really enjoy their videos

[@overtaxedcitizen4975]

Thank You Popular Mechanics for making a video that is able to be viewed! No annoying over-dramatic banners, voice-overs, or superfluous crap. Video and soothing music, we are smart, we can figure it out. Thank You Thank You Thank You! So refreshing!

[@kermitlikestea3674]

im impressed... that lady and everyone else is so hardworking xxx

[@stephanierasanya7342]

Looking at how much pressure they are using to make candy makes me want to appreciate more and more. I am really glad because of these people if it weren't for them we wouldn't have enjoyed candy.

Just got some candy from Hammond's - amazing, delicious, well-packed, quickly shipped, and a freebie thrown in. Hands down BEST peppermint I've had in all my 50 years!

This is why I always say to appreciate all things no matter how simple because you never know how much work was put into it.

Poor lady and her back, ugh bet they are so sick of candy. I feel for her and all those people and the lifting. Hard work and see not much staff. Yep we know how that goes. Interesting to watch, but can just feel how it is day after day. Great workers there! Thanks for your hard work! 😊

[@canukmrsben]

Kudos to those who work on the production line but also to the engineers who design the machinery.

[@DCoopVideos]

Amazing how people even think about how to make these candies, with those techniques and machines. I applaud.

Amazing artistry! As for a job that looks very physically taxing - my back and feet hurt imagining 8hrs of that! Thanks candy makers for all you do to make our lives a little happier :-)

[@marciahill7946]

A very surprisingly soothing and quieting video. Absolute minimum of noise n the lovely well chosen background music make it a must for first thing in the morning, to start the day in a good mood. It's got it all, soothing music, unhurried people and a lovely sweet treat at the end. Its lovely you've got me hooked, I'm a fan.xxxxx

[@darrensoogrim4093]

Why did I find this so satisfying to watch?

[@vinaymulukutla358]

Thanks for sharing. I'm fascinated with how boiled sweets are produced, starting off as boiling sugar in a copper kettle before adding flavours, colours and ultimately tempering the candy mass with skilled hands.

[@heatherwhatever7714]

What an art. How beautiful.

So few soo few left upon whom skill and grace is visited I hope that people wake up soon and learn to appreciate how rare it is to have something that is hand made and appreciate it and are willing to pay for that privilege.

I will never take a candy cane for granted again. What a great job. You have to know what you're doing but you also can have your own thoughts.

Yes, we went there , really nice factory in Denver , is free tour factory to the public... start with short film room and the the lady tour guide list keep talking about the factory on a microphone while you look thru that big glass windows .. then you keep walking the hall to another big window and that's it. She give you a big lollipop and you end at the shopping store.. make sure you take pictures with the old truck outside.... hey is free about 25 minute tour or so...

Now they probably stopped giving tours, or just limiting them due to the COVID 19 ☣️ and social distancing.
