I have to admit that I miss Max being there! He was so upbeat, happy, funny and enthusiastic. I like Julia as she is nice.

[@memeingmywaythrulife]

What happened too Max?

[@margaretdevries8090]

He left for better opportunity! And he was super nice but I wish people would get over him !! With all the family working there ,there was not a great future for him !

[@roberthindle5146]

I know Max is a long-time friend of the Andrianos family but I'm sure he has career plans that didn't involve him producing candy with them forever.

[@Crystalyn5178]

I'd try layering it: melted chocolate, scattered worms, then crushed oreos dusted heavily on top. (Pressing the oreo crumbs down, while candy is still warm.) That way, the worms look as if they are coming out of the mud & dirt. You could taste the oreo more. And the worm colors would show just enough for fun presentation. I could see kids going crazy for this! Love your channel! Always a good time seeing your faces & ideas. ❤

I'm a part time cake decorator I recommend a round two. For sure!! This is such a fun idea being that it's well remembered and still eaten today... I say Use half the worms and still blend the oreos but instead sift them after blending keep the excess dust (set aside) use the chunks of oreo in the mixture of chocolate & worms. At the end add the left over worms and dust the top with the sifted oreo dust. (The dust won't go stale this is how i dust cookies an cream cupcakes) & This will help enhance the oreo flavor 😋 ♥️ I really hope this one gets perfected, such a nostalgia to this one! ❤ 🐛🪱 🍫 🫕

[@FreeJohnDoe2006]

In the early 90s we made something similar in public school, Gummy worms, Chocolate pudding & crushed up oreo cookies

You could make a bark assortment box with this dirt cup, s’mores, and green caramel apple and call it the summer camp trio or childhood treats trio.

[@kcassidys]

Way to go Julia! Great idea for new bark. And making that break for it was awesome. 😂❤

[@MichellePondueCruz]

I like how the light shines through the worms. It's kind of like Turkish Delight. I know...people hate that stuff, but I love it.

[@Inthemains]

you gotta put crushed oreo on top, to really complete the dirt look 😋

[@catalina9844]

Yes I agree

[@HerculesCandy]

Depending how long the bark exists before someone eats it, they would likely get stale unfortunately

Warning to you, don't add wristbwatch revival or baumgartner art restoration. You'll be up all night.

[@desertdragonworksaz]

Julia, you have my dream job! LOL! I just ordered some of the hard candies (because it's 112 degrees in AZ right now, and chocolate would be a huge mistake), got them today and I LOVED THEM! So much, that I just ordered some more. Can't wait for the ribbon candy to be available again, I don't care if it breaks in transit. Love your channel, guys - keep up the wonderful work!

[@MeiWerner-he7gw]

I’ll admit I loved the ASMR channel but actually hearing them talk is even more fun!

[@HerculesCandy]

Good thing you can watch both channels!

[@RadioJustin]

You should have another couple sleeves of Oreo's crushed and on standby to cover the top with before the chocolate sets fully. Then you can have the fresh Oreo chunks still, and it provides a nice visual to the top of the bark. You could maybe even have chopped up worms ready to sprinkle on top!

[@TarynIona]

For the past 3 weeks it's been all about the move from Fargo ND to Pahrump NV (about 45 mins west of Las Vegas) and so I am working my way through the videos I have missed while I was out of touch. This is definitely one I would love to get, it's on the list with the hope that they are still in stock! Thank you Julia for doing this! I need to figure out some ideas and send them your way, but to be honest, you have all ready got the best ones out there and have made them! ❤Going to check out if you still have this and the strawberry cheesecake bark in stock, because... I am so craving those right now! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

[@Silverwolf207]

I really enjoy these videos they make me smile, you all are amazing and have great vibes.

[@wilcon88]

So Hercules should have a week where employees can make whatever they desire with candy. Once a year. Call it hack week like Facepunch (Rust game developers) the stuff that usually gets hacked or personal projects can get made during hack week.

[@TheBaldr]

My favorite type off bark is I take Extra roasted Kraft peanut butter and put in small thing thin candy bar like molds and freeze, then they are covered in chocolate and sprinkle crushed peanuts on top.

[@StevenwoodrickBerger]

I love the idea

I received my 4oz Wormy Dirt bark today along with other stuff and my small batch somehow has zero worms :( That's some bad luck considering Julia used the entire bag of worms. Maybe I'll try again when I place my next order.

Hi Julia! Try putting the crumbs of the cookies through a strainer of some sort. That way the smaller stuff goes through and the larger chunks stay behind. Have fun!

dark chocolate. The bitterness of the dark choco will bring out the sweetness of the oreos and the tartness of the worms

[@Turkeysammich3000]

I had this a lot as kid, one lady brought a huge dish every Easter, I think she used little debby devil creme cakes instead of oreos, this she’d place cadburry eggs like they were Easter eggs on the ground

[@MazzyJC]

You need to make spiders and flies bark. You need fried noodles plain ones no flavour sachets. Not sure what brands are available in the USA (in Australia we have Changs), Crunchy peanut butter and mini marshmallows and melted chocolate, Milk, Dark or White. You just mix all ingredients together. Some do them in drops from a spoon I do mine on a cookie sheet then slice it. I'm sure you would like it.

[@word2pierre]

Julia’s so funny

[@andrewcastiglia9548]

You should have saved some of the fine oreo crumbs to sprinkle onto the top after mixing to give it some more pop

[@judyyoung1695]

If the exposed oreos on top would get stale, what will stop it from getting stale after exposure after cutting into it?

[@555jumana]

You could place them into mini plant pots for Halloween 🎃

[@josephbennett3482]

Too bad it ain't Halloween or April fools , you could really mess with people by attaching super thin fishing line that isn't easily seen to a gummy worm then putting it in the oreo soil then when someone goes to eat from the mixture secretly move the long fishing line to make the worm wiggle and slowly move in the mixture of oreo soil 🤣

[@candiceeggerud350]

We buy those same bags of gummies often and while it shows many different flavors on the bag, inside is only 2 colors and flavors. i have wanted to contact someone and find out why the family size bags of gummi worms and bears have less variety. on another note, we love your channel and hope to one day have money enough to purchase some Hercules candies. I bet these taste amazing
