Making GIANT Chocolate Easter Bunnies!

[@donnafassano163]

Steve's gentle hand decorating the bunnies really makes me understand the prices of a shop vs a store. I hope this craft continues for many years to come

[@jillianjoys1443]

I work for my Father and I must say how delighted I was to see this family business! Working with family is most definitely the HARDEST job I've ever had, and also the BEST job I've ever had and I wouldn't change it for all the gold the world. There is just something wonderful about keeping a family vibe in a business...seems to have more HEART and TRUST in it and at the end of the day, you feel as if you are contributing to your family's "story"

[@jjtorres3891]

I work with people that was once strangers and very quickly family. Very large, family owned motorcycle dealership were we have only 3 family members and 20 employees. The owners are caring Christians that love the industry and work with us and there everyday! I could not be happier. I can say it is much easier than working with family. Or else I'd move back home and work with my dad in his real estate business.

[@Whisperwomaneq2]

Ever tried dark chocolate on the eyelashes? I think It would look much better than the pink.

[@RedKittieKat]

Such sweet bunnies! I love them all :) Karen does such a nice job packaging them and Dad does a super job giving them that cute factor.

[@mindyvaughn8217]

These older videos have their own kind of therapy about them. They are peaceful. I like that.💖

[@margaretlane8808]

The pink lashes and pink whiskers although have been applied with love and care.... creep me out! LOL!

[@Sursie_Metzger]

There’s something about going back to these 4 year old videos that’s just so surreal but also extremely adorable.

[@lisaballard1353]

Are you all going to make a truffle video? I would love to see that. I made milk chocolate covered cherries using Steve's method, and my husband loves them. He's picky, so kudos! My dad is a huge chocolate fan, and I'd love to make him some like yours. Love the videos, still voting, fingers crossed on a Hercules win!! ❤️🍫

[@lindsaywest823]

Now Karen has talent!! I could literally watch her do that for hours 😂 oddly relaxing. I have commented on so many videos because I freaking love your family ❤️. If I could get a shout out it legit would be life or a reply 😬 love y'all (yes I'm in SC I said yall)

[@tootseug]

Wow. What attention to detail. Thank you!! Beautiful bunnies!! And such LOVELY packaging!!

[@juliebaker6969]

I like the idea of painting the ears, tail and basket, but I think the eyelashes, and whiskers, and maybe even the nose might look better in dark chocolate rather than pink. Just my opinion.

[@HerculesCandy]

I could definitely see that being a preference, thanks for your input Julie!

[@serenakoo9912]

Getting used to the extra long videos, Craig! If you keep this up I won't settle for videos shorter than an hour 😂

[@HerculesCandy]

Uh oh what have I gotten myself into!?

[@rebeccaeiler]

When you're falling asleep on the job because Karen's voice and bunny wrapping skills are so... sooo... sooooooooo... soothing...

[@LoneWombat2126]

I love how much care is taken in making, and wrapping each bunny. That is heart in a business and love for what you do. I love you guys!

[@dani-wy2qw]

A pair of bent nose tweezers for putting on eyes and smaller brushers for detail work would make steve's job so much easier on him.both these items can be found at michael's.bent nose tweezer will allow you to see the spot to put the eye without hand getting way.

[@pyrojoe711]

No better feeling than watching a Hercules Candy video while eating one of your chocolate covered potato chips. So yummy.

[@HerculesCandy]

That's a great way to spend a Saturday!

[@JessicaHeppell2022]

Hercules Candy I love watching you videos you are located close to me as I'm in syrasuse NY

[@morrisseymoz5778]

Hercules Candy do u make chocolate fudge squares...

[@cassiocf]

That bunny went to Coachella for sure

[@lisaballard1353]

Putting coconut shavings on their tails would be cute!

[@mindyvaughn8217]

Craig I’m so glad you decided to start filming your Dad back at the house. Steve I miss the old days a little bit. Did y’all make any big bunnies this year? 💖

[@faerica7]

Don't forget to beat the devil out of that brush when you clean it ;)

[@craftlover9702]

It's fun seeing watching your Dad decorate the 2 lb bunny and how other stores decorate them. Where I work it's one of the jobs that I do. We use candy carrots on the backpack or jelly beans, or the bright colored large malted milk balls. We use candy flowers to brighten the sides of the backpack. Enjoyed watching your Dad decorate!!

[@darryldrax606]

Craftlover 9 no robins eggs ?

[@craftlover9702]

Yes, actually the malted milk balls we use are speckled robins eggs.

[@sharonolsen6579]

Wow... so much work goes into the production of these giant bunnies !!

[@jenni22776rn01]

We just received my Easter shipping yesterday and everything! Everything was packaged so beautifully and yummy!! My boys cleaned out the chocolate covered Chios before this morning!! Great job. 🐰❤

[@SilentShadovv]

Your mom is the coolest mom ever! I love her personality :)

[@florencekirk9021]

I love all the details that your family puts into making the chocolate. Much love and respect from Utah

[@rhymeandreasoning]

"voila a bunny is born" lol..I always wondered where bunnies came from..now I know.

[@catalina9844]

Congrats on 13k subs, and 17k+ votes! Happy birthday Craig and Cara, lots to celebrate.

[@ericmiller931]

I really enjoy watching your family business. Thanks for sharing to the world

[@DavidGonzalez-xp2xg]

im seriously crying when he said what was that them bunnies are making noises lmao 15:17

[@HerculesCandy]

haha glad we could make you cry

[@kellorang8963]

I am amazed at how much work and detail goes into making one of those big chocolate bunnies ! I find it fascinating to watch your family business do everything by hand . That big bunny is worth every penny!

[@melaniepace1971]

It’s nice to see candy made the old fashioned way

[@stevennashington1274]

that lady is so patient its so relaxing

[@Allikattoo]

Those bunnies are a little scary with the pink eyelashes and whiskers, my Mom said they kind of look like they may have eaten the children's ears first. Hahaha

[@pattycook3732]

Allikattoo They look like teenage girl bunnies, a little overzealous on the makeup for Easter!

[@Bb-bk5xg]

I'm not even going to say what the basket looks like...

[@TheonlyZoeymarie]

I love watching the videos and the way y'all joke around. Keep up the good work! ❤️ I'm voting everyday too!

[@as8972]

This family is so wholesome. I love it!

[@lindasinclair6550]

ship them as easter bunny jigsaws - then if they break they can't complain lol!

[@HerculesCandy]

I think you're onto something! haha

[@susieballard4957]

Is there a video detailing how y'all got into the candy making business? I am new to your channel as of today. So if I asked questions that are in previous videos I apologize I don't have the time to watch 15 videos in a row. You guys seem like a great family

[@asexyparamedic3459]

These bunnies make me think of the chocolate Reptar candies with green slime filling from Rugrats! You should totally do that! 😋❤ Also what would be cute is to chocolate glue Robin's Eggs into the bunnies little basket!

[@abby44666]

The pink face details ....psycho bunnies!!!!

[@nadiagalvan2526]

you should make an asmr video of her just wrapping. the crinkle sound of the wrapping paper rustling sounds so yummy 🙏🏽

[@Selinaisonlyme]

Wait idk if this has come up but what if you sold the bunnies plain and added candy and extra coloured chocolates separately and sold it as a "decorate your own Easter bun" that way it's a fun activity and it's shipping friendly?

[@HerculesCandy]

Great idea!

[@margaretlane8808]

Selinaisonlyme That's a great idea!!! Write instructions on melting the chocolate glue and everything. I would totally do that with my boys!!!

[@reallyreaally]

Selinaisonlyme that's what I thought they meant

[@Selinaisonlyme]

Just watched the video about "build your own bunny kit!?" video and they were referring to selling broken chocolate buns as a pseudo bun operation/fix it diy. Kinda different from what I was thinking but logistically I dot know if there is a high enough demand to create the "decorate your own easter bun" kit but a fabulous idea nonetheless.

[@HerculesCandy]

Selinaisonlyme haha you're exactly right, it sounds great!...But there's not enough demand for it haha

[@fromjon4654]

It is so nice to see a loving family. It is such an odd sight I watched for hours in a fascinated trance. Was like seeing Bigfoot. God bless

[@HerculesCandy]

haha thank you, I'm glad you like the videos

[@ExoticOnTheBeat]

I just noticed your dad does duck face when working 😂 Love the videos, keep up the great work and i will be buying some treats from y'all soon. Broke at the moment.

[@zainabalwahaibi1456]

I just love the Monty Python and the Holy Grail references you use every now and then! Loving your videos

[@michellerivera6201]

Love the Bob Ross references!

[@HerculesCandy]

haha how can you not when painting anything!?

[@michaelmiller6013]

Your mom is hilarious. You are a good camera man and I would quit my computer repair business to come make chocolate! Seems like a fun life! New store looks amazing!

[@alliechampagne1404]

Holy SMOKES! Karen did a FANTASTIC job wrapping that bunbun!

[@sandymaciver5801]

Great video guys. I remembered to vote today.. yay me! Haha! Hope you have a great weekend Terri, Steve & Craig & Karen. I love seeing Karen wrapping the chocolate she is such a sweet lady..

[@therealme5932]

I need to know your parents skin care regimen. They look fantastic! Your dad didn’t seem to have a single wrinkle! I just found your page yesterday and I’ve been hooked ever since! If I ever make it to that side of the country (I’m in Southern California), I’ll be stopping by for sure. Thanks for sharing these videos.

[@HerculesCandy]

haha they don't really do much for their skin, but they are vegan so I'm sure that helps

[@jonathandpg6115]

Wait so does that mean they don't eat their own chocolate?

[@ShellyMcDonnell123]

"Why do you think he's carrying the little chick around on his back, with a bunch o' beans..?", "He's a friendly little guy." 20:00. Oh Okay. :-)

[@laurascopel9532]

Are you still second highest in the Fedex grant? I've already voted for you guys for the day :) I hope you win!

[@christiedecker2724]

Creating in gum paste, mainly flowers of all kinds, I would also love a job like yours, Steve, sitting there painting the chocolates...such fun! Thanks for sharing it with us, Craig.

[@christiedecker2724]

Add some green grass, (Sorry, I'd do something different with the whiskers and eyelashes) and yes, perhaps a bow tie for the 'males' or a bow for the females...it would be fun. :)

[@bettendomain9281]

- Mom? - This is not the mom you're looking for! - Oh, must be a different mom! LMFAO

[@justicedsweets6817]

Use tweezers for the bunny eyes. Keeps the gloves from interfering

[@josefholzer2433]

I'm surprised that your parents don't sit back, and let you guys do all the work! It shows how good your candies are!!! Lol! I'm a huge fan of Hercules Candy!

[@myobnosy2245]

You should put potato chips on the bunny's feet. call em snowshoes. lol

[@darryldrax606]

Myob Nosy I was thinking dyed green coconut for grass around the edges of the basket then the chick would be nesting in there ..... 😉

[@danielletalley9556]

I like how when it drips a lil or he drops something his son is all like "OH GEEEZZZ!!!" Like it was HUGE.. hahahaha love it.. XD Love the relationship between them both for sure.

[@biguns0025]

You guys should offer a premium custom candy order that includes a making of your order video. I'd buy it lol.

[@karenricci8885]

Use tweezers, when you put the eyes on.. It might work better. M👍

[@sharonolsen6579]

My thoughts exactly ! : >

[@hig6775]

I just want to move to wherever you guys are and work there. This seems great, i know there is a lot more behind the scenes stuff but I feel it'd be worth it. :D :D Love you guys! You're doing amazing.

[@prismbunny]

Those eyes actually look adorable on those bunnies!

[@chappieboy7]

Might want to try a smaller detail brush for the face - less messy looking.

[@dclove7211]

I have so much love for your mom, I'm pretty sure she is my spirit animal.

[@femmeisagan5826]

Karen that was an amazing work ..Thank you for showing us your secrets Karen😘.. Hercules Candy i learned a lot from all your works, from chocolates ideas, to making ribbons, everything...I hope you don't mind😂... I'm from Philippines and also making chocolate lollipops for quite sometime already but not regularly and using only rice crispies in white and colored chocolates....last week I did for my mother's 80th birthday give aways a hundred pcs red chocolate Rose and lollies for the kids...I'm addicting watching you since I stumbled your videos in you tube...thank you so much I learned a lot.....you are all funny and accommodating ...love you all....Femme from the Philippines...😄😄😄

[@jessiemccaull6408]

I would love to visit you and your family. I love how close you all are.

[@HerculesCandy]

Thanks, we'd love for you to visit!

[@helenbell1988]

I have read all these comments and “advice” and .., well I love the way this family keep up the traditional ways of making things its part of the joy and feeling when something is handmade like this with so much care. There may be more efficient “perfect “ bunnies out there but to me they dont come close to those made here !! I live in the UK 🇬🇧 so cant buy any but I would if I could !!

[@janettemarsh2630]

Wow the patience of saints absolutely fantastic xx

[@rachelmarieLMT]

My husband and I love supporting family owned local businesses and I intend to order all our Christmas candy from hercules this year!

[@rhymeandreasoning]

32:37 mark..Your dad has amazing skin/ complexion !!!!!

[@Epoxinator]

I guess a giant chocolate Godzilla would be breaking someone's copyright. Plus there's that tail...

[@kimberlypatton8473]

Haha! Barking bunnies! At our house the favorite joke if my husband is his "barking spiders"...I'll bet you know what that is!

[@Danielle33384]

🤣🤣👍

[@allisonkrehbiel8671]

This is a stunning work of art. Will you let us know when it sells?

[@Go-Dawgs]

Still my favorite video of all and it's hard to choose!! But Iove to watch him make these!!

[@serinabarbadensis]

My new favourite show.

[@hellnbk]

"Wait till corporate finds out" LOL!

[@beckymunro2071]

I started watching this channel.a few years ago when you guys were still in the basement. But I haven't seen this one. This channel sure has grown over the years.

[@alyssaaaanicoleeee]

The bunnies are so cute, I love the pop of pink!

[@stephanieboond5082]

I wish I lived in your country , also nearby your house, I would love to help you out, making all those chocolate bunnies 😁 & all the rest of the sweets. They all look lovely YUUUMMMY

[@deniseosborne4045]

The apron looks so good.

[@consultingdetective6310]

[@Plague_Doc22]

Dont know how I came across u guys..you're weird..but in a good way, And i love how its a family business and alot of craftsmanship in what you guys do. Relaxing yet funny to watch.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

I think the chocolate bunny shards are called..BUNNY DROPPINGS :-) :-)

[@wasabipnda]

I notice your dad likes to pout while making candy 🍭 (not hating, just an observation) :D

[@lucynorman1780]

I'll bet I gain 5 pounds just watching your mom and dad make chocolate everything and when your dad made coconut clusters (coconut is my favourite), I would have helped with the leftovers.....🤤🤤🤤🤤🍫🍫🍫🍫

[@throwaboat7891]

I find it so adorable that Karen needs a stool to wrap the bunny. Also, Craig, did you end up finding the mom you were looking for?

[@HerculesCandy]

Never did find her...

[@throwaboat7891]

oh dear. Who's going to tell papa Steve what to make then? also, 19648 votes now!

[@AbigailBGnath]

Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
