This new candy is disgustingly tasty!

[@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 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.

Love the music choice for the escaping cookie!!

[@-lanieEST97]

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! ❤ 🐛🪱 🍫 🫕

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

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

[@mlmschaff]

I tried this the day they were making it. It was really good. The worms texture was kind of like raisins.

I love watching you all make candy. Your so lucky to have a job so sweet, and one that is loved by many. I had the apple caramel ribbon candy, it was so good. I'm on other side of continent. Looking forward to ordering some soon.

[@ceciletx27nehemiah19]

That candy is easy to make and doesn't even take long cause of course it would be a much smaller batch. Iv made bark candy with peanuts, pretzels and marshmallows. Really good!

[@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.

[@MamaHand1949]

You could grate some dark chocolate to put on top too look like dirt poking through. Of course you would have to add it after it was cool enough not to melt it.

[@HerculesCandy]

Yes, and also not too late so it actually sticks to the bark haha

[@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.

[@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!

[@crocheting-around-the-planet]

This looks so yummy. I'd put the Oreos in a plastic freezer bag, and smack them with a rolling pin. I think bigger pieces of Oreos are better.

[@NekoKotorii]

Have you guys ever made classic sherbert? (crystals are a bit bigger than powdered) bit of grit in the dirt.

[@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.

[@5RobotLions]

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.

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 🤣

Maybe try less worms inside of the chocolate and more chunks of oreo? The dirt dessert I remember was mostly pudding, oreos and only a few worms on top. It wasn't ever inside of it.

Can you create the dirt bark with dark chocolate?

[@qazwiz]

i think smaller worms normal gummy worms are too big for dirt bars.

Now if this was made with special gummy’s and magic chocolate… you could charge triple the price and it would fly off the shelf.
