We Recreated Your Favorite Childhood Snack...But Better!

[@lisag5085]

HEy Steve! Great idea - my favorite - S'mores!!! If the cereal doesn't work out you could try Teddy Grahams! They would be delicious and cute too!

[@marycook1644]

That is what I always used in my bark ! Blessings from California.

[@nancy9704]

I totally remember the milk inside the boxes of cereal!!! Classic old-timey fun fun fun! I really miss the sixties and seventies.

[@linzertube]

Amazing new product…what a good idea! I love how sweet everyone is at Hercules Candy (pardon the pun), but they really ALL seem super nice! And, dear, sweet, strangling Karen always impresses with her care and attention to lovingly packaging each product.👏🤩

[@damnhandles]

I'm so excited because after all this time watching Hercules on KZbin from home in Atlanta, I'm actually going to be able to visit in late July. I had a Southwest flight credit I needed to use by September and thought about visiting Austin. But TX in the summer was too much so I thought if I flew into Syracuse, I could visit Hercules AND go out to Niagara Falls. A giant waterfall in July sounds much better than TX in July. 🥰🥰🥰

[@marycook1644]

As Napoleon 💥 would say - LUCKY 🍀 !!! Jealous in California !! 🍫 🍬 🍡

[@1corinthians-138]

You're not alone Steve. I remember the little cereal boxes. They came in a variety pack. I liked fruit loops and honeycomb cereal. 😀

[@marycook1644]

We always had those for camping trips ! 🦉

[@dollhousemakr]

They still make them, too. I grew up wondering why the sides of the boxes were perforated the way they were, until my mom told me it was so you could open the side up and make a bowl for milk. I always just ate those boxes dry.

[@marycook1644]

@@dollhousemakr on the camping trips we would carefully cut the perforated lines and open it. Pour on the milk and walah - no bowls to wash. My mom always brought my dad a bowl. He didn’t want to “ rough it !” 🌲 🐿

[@1corinthians-138]

@@dollhousemakr I ate my cereal dry too. I couldn't have milk, and they didn't have all the alternative nut milks we do now.

[@recoveringsoul755]

@@marycook1644 yes! Camping trips was pretty much the only time we used them. I'd get them sometimes to let my kids see what kind of cereal they might like to try

[@robinboth1063]

Please make this in dark chocolate too!! Looks amazing!! Still hoping for rocky road bark (nuts, marshmallows & raisins).

[@marycook1644]

I used to use Teddy Grahams and chopped almonds and baby marshmallows. After it is spread out l sprinkled baby M & M ‘s on top for pazazz ! Your’s sounds great ! Blessings from California. 🍫🐻

[@lauraandedwardcannon8861]

Graham crackers pull moisture from the air very quickly. They will go soft on the counter in a few hours if not sealed. Even a corner not covered with chocolate will let that piece stale, probably by the time the chocolate cools.

[@HerculesCandy]

Now that you say that I've definitely noticed that they go stale faster than anything I've ever eaten haha

[@tatiannazutania7751]

Cinnamon toast crunch, marshmallows, toasted coconut with white chocolate sounds good to me.

[@roguelorewind6029]

Home made money? Let me get my printer and art app fired up. LOL Love you guys.

[@HerculesCandy]

Perfect!

[@Omnihilo]

It's been a while since I've watched this channel. I was going through some stuff in my life, as well as decided to migrate to a new channel of my own to start making KZbin videos. I lost a lot of my favorite creators in the process, but fortunately found you guys again. I think the first video of yours I ever watched was the peanut butter filled ribbon candy one about 4 or 5 years ago. I have to say, seeing the progress, from moving out of the basement, to your growth as a business and channel, has been really awesome. And I see the editing has some added flavor too! Really happy to see you guys thriving, especially given the past 2 years. 🖤

[@HerculesCandy]

Thanks and welcome back!

[@Uniquelyyours1]

The best part of the video is all of it. I love the edits and Terry's ad. I always get a chuckle out of it. Thanks, Hercules crew, for all you do. Hi Craig, awesome vidya.

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

Scott😂 smells like SCHOOL These edits are hilarious “Candy makes people happy” - Quick Steve

[@jwcatalano3867]

I feel like ghram crackers kinda absorb the moisture in the air making them stale faster? Idk if that's even a real thing but my hypothesis.

[@Mellmick26]

You should use “Original” Shreddies cereal Pretzel sticks Dried cranberries Topped with white chocolate

[@chatnoir2266]

Your videos always make me so happy!

[@JenSpice]

Marshmallows would be good in Cinnamon Toast Crunch *or raisins. 😋

[@derrickrc1821]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@HerculesCandy]

I can agree with marshmallows 😂

[@Schiffon]

Or nuts!

[@StarlahMutiny]

I think a reeses puffs with white chocolate bark would be AMAZINGGGGGG

[@nadenecooper6076]

She did a great job on that ad. Candy looked good.

[@pattiwagner1980]

My mouth waters every time I watch one of your videos!!!!🤗

[@Emmuzka]

The European candy craze is to mix chocolate and slightly salty licorice (and also dip the balls in gold and silver dust for the kicks), it's a really tasty combination! 😍I'm also thinking what would it need to change bark to taste like chocolate truffles? 🤔

[@rsislandcrafts]

I make this at home a lot. It’s amazing and very addictive. I’m sure It will be a hit for the shop.

[@JohnMDiMaggio]

My 3y/o son, Walter played "candy shop" last night before bed. He [pretend] tossed in the corn syrup, poured in the sugar, then mixed and mixed. He made me help him pour it on the table and color it. Then he threw it on the hook. He made me cut it while he pulled it out. He was so happy when he woke up this morning and saw there was a new video! We just had to order some!

[@marycook1644]

🍒 That is so darn adorable !! Hercules inspired him !! 🍫 I luv how imaginative Walter is , and SWEET. 🍭 Blessings from California. 🍡🍬

[@kremesauce]

That’s really cool! A future in candy making is a wonderful attainable goal.

[@lynelljansen8057]

Oh no Steve better watch out, competition!!! 😀😄

[@debbieabney383]

So wish I worked for you guys so I could taste the awesome new s'mores bark. And I think you picked out the best cereal for the job.

[@Ahcardcollector]

I got a pack of these delivered last week and they were delicious. Already starting to figure out my next order. Thanks from TN.

[@Maggie.The.Unicorn]

Fellow dry cereal fan here: I sometimes like to eat sugary cereals as a snack, dry in a bowl, and eat it with my fingers. Like snacking on chips, but a sweet crunchy thing instead of a salty crunchy thing.

[@lolaartellano893]

I love to eat dry cereal also. ?Certain ones taste better plain than with milk

[@shawnwolff4490]

Should use a torch or oven to toast (albeit slightly) the marshmallows before adding to the mix make it real smores!😃

[@SandySanders81]

Cinnamon toast crunch... In white chocolate, snack club bark (potato chips, pretzels, chocolate and peanut butter)

[@sanditschoepe2622]

I'd say that's a winner! I believe Cooper would agree!

[@oliviaannejohnson9689]

Wow what a great idea that really spruced me up to thinking of coming to your store to buy some candy

[@lazr47]

peanuts, raisins, pretzels in dark chocolate. possibly with some vanilla or coffee flavor

[@jeaniegallo4693]

Cereal bark. Blend of popular ones....cinnamon toast crunch, captain crunch, rice krispies for extra crunch, and golden grahams.

[@lori5032]

Yum, Yum, Yum! Makes me want to make some at home! The explanations of the taste tests are the best! XOXOXOXOXO

[@ivyagnew8473]

I just put my first order in! After watching for years, I am so excited to get my parcel of happiness!

[@kayleearmentrout2356]

This bark is awesome I think it would be great with the s'mores cereal

[@theothermrs.randle3416]

Terry is the best 🤣🤣🤣 Love to you all🥰🥰

[@christine-666]

If you did the cinnamon toast crunch with the chocolate and then crunch the whole bunch of it in a bag and dusted the top of the chocolate that would be so good.

[@celinestemshorn7425]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch with white chocolate and cinnamon and sugar drip on top with milk chocolate as base with toast crunch cereal bark.

[@keltorian1504]

Terry’s adds are getting better and better. You could have pushed cooper a little harder though. Lol. Keep up the good work all. Watching from Australia. Your vid’s are very mouth watering.

[@JiMala_BC]

Cinnamon Toast crunch with white chocolate sounds SO GOOD

[@newlife533]

Honey nut Cheerios bark, Coco puffs bark, crunch berry captain crunch bark just to name a few 😜

[@wobblytardis850]

You could drizzle fluff on top just sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs on top and it wont be sticky or you could add some more marshmallows on top just pressed in a bit Seriously love your channel and how you try so many new things

[@richardmattingly7000]

Frosted Flake bark might be a tried in a test batch along with other cereals in separate piles since its only needs to be enrobed by hand not mixed together. They should consider buying a stand alone caramel corn kettle setup and they can flavor it just like hard candy so what it could taste like is up to their imagination..🍬🍬

[@ellishansen8115]

Could you run a torch over the marshmallows before pouring the chocolate over? Just to get a little caramelization of the sugar.

[@farlo_9355]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch and apple of some sort ( hard candy crushed up or dried apple pieces or ...) so it would taste like apple pie ! ? maybe it was just a thought

[@lorisullivan327]

Karen’s restraint is commendable 😬 love her… That s’mores bark is calling me… have a great week!!!

[@smitten2009]

Y’all need official “ Hercules candy taste tester T-shirts”😂

[@Uniquelyyours1]

Yes!!!

[@cynthiamerryman]

You could try Captain Crunch Peanut butter crunch ball cereal w marshmallows. 😋

[@tarawright1287]

Steve this looks awesome you are making me wish I had a spoon to dive into this ☺️😉

[@robking7347]

can't waiiiiiiit to get my order 🤤 this smores bark is gonna be 🤤

[@moniquehebert178]

So many options!!! You mix cereals, cookies, nuts, dried fruits, caramel pieces, nougat

[@KittyMomma223]

Could you toast the marshmallows? Maybe spread them out and run a kitchen torch over them to lightly toast. Then let them cool before adding them to the cereal. The campfire toast/smoke really adds to the great s'mores flavor!

[@cadavher]

If Steve is cinnamon man, does that mean Terry is his cinnamon girl?! Lol sorry, don't know why that Neil Young reference popped into my head!

[@joanntakehara458]

The KZbin ad right after this S’more video was for a local grocery touting their S’more pie and other recipes. I thought you had a trailer!

[@yowyo2006]

Cinnamon toast crunch, white chocolate, and shards of cinnamon candy! Lucky Charms with white chocolate and sprinkes.

[@Ms.Donnelyn]

For aesthetic purposes, just cover the cereal with chocolate and top with marshmallows. So that the marshmallows are more visible. :)

[@dave_archer]

Terry's ad was a masterpiece 😃

[@TheGodSlayr]

That apron at 8:30 is amazing, I need one in my life!

[@xXSlickNickXx757]

Cinnamon toast crunch white chocolate and something else... I made fruity pebbles rice krispies with white chocolate and fruity pebbles topped

[@RosatheSilvermuse]

With cinnamon toast crunch you could add biscotti pieces, and maple syrup, and white chocolate.

[@divine_2768]

You could use a blow torch too caramelise the marshmallows just a little bit to add a little bit of that charred taste you get when you cook em over a camp fire.

[@AmoneyC]

These are unbelievably delicious! I got my bag today and it's already gone hahaha. Legit amazing 10/10

[@carolyngattis258]

Cinnamon Cheerios with marshmallows covered in chocolate. That way the candy is heart healthy.

White chocolate with cinnamon toast crunch and popcorn with marshmallows dipped in milk chocolate

[@Kaytie_Alexis]

Product idea: golden grahams marshmallow clusters

[@robking7347]

this is 🔥🔥🔥 done ate mine in one day 🤦🏻‍♂️ shlda ordered more.

[@roguelorewind6029]

How about Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Red Hots/ in house cinnamon candies and dusted with cinnamon sugar or cinnamon flavored hard candy dust? There are also "Old fashion" cinnamon candy that has a very different flavor from hot cinnamon. I think one is made with cinnamon powder and the others are cinnamon oils.

[@Mellmick26]

You can still get the little boxes of cereal we buy them for camping

[@jetfuel3053]

Kix cereal in chocolate. The little round balls (IF they stay crunchy) will be perfect.

[@Conservchick854]

THAT SOUNDED AMAZING!!!!

[@lujanreggae6671]

Looks amazing 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@claremccrory42]

I remember the wee cereal boxes too, Steve, from back in the midst of time 😂

[@Tangwystyl]

Cap'n Crunch peanut butter topped bark!

[@kathyk479]

And all that stuff used to fit in that tiny tiny basement at your house! WOW! That is so hard to believe!

[@pandachickenmama]

I wonder if you use a propane torch on the marshmallows for a bit before pouring on the chocolate if it would give that hint of being roasted on the fire?

[@mnsanbei3952]

I loved those boxes you could put milk in Steve!

[@AlifiyaShikari]

Oooorrrrr.......You guys could include the fluff in a little baggie with the bark and we can drizzle them onto the bark before consuming??

[@rachelhunt4596]

Fun candy for summer!

[@bear6845]

I'm one of those dry cereal hand deep in the box chaps too.

[@Gracisonpridgen0813]

Please do fruity pebbles with marshmallows

[@tonka8080]

You should hit the marshmallows for a few seconds with a torch just a browned them slightly so they have that nice roasted marshmallow taste

[@kremesauce]

I ordered 8oz and then 3 days later I order 24oz. One of the most amazing things I’ve ever eaten in my life. No joke

[@HerculesCandy]

I'm glad you liked it so much!

[@kremesauce]

@@HerculesCandy I’m now on my third order and have 32oz coming and some chocolate covered pretzels. I’m absolutely addicted to this bark and am burning a hole in my wallet haha Seriously, the bark is remarkable. The only thing I would suggest is more marshmallows but, that all may depend on the batch and section. I can’t get enough fluff and crunch with milk chocolate. Thank you!

[@brandybellmann7513]

Yummy this looks so good.💚

[@J.A.7]

You could do a chip with white chocolate and some of the cinnamon toast crunch cinnamon ( I bought some at walmart )

[@ALiz86]

I think more marshmallows! You could put a mixture of chocolate and marshmallow in between two graham cracker... Or add peanut butter cups to the mix! Would be delicious! I put them on my smores!

[@goodcookandherguineapigand5122]

Looks good. I don't know how you guys do all this I make candy it's fun but a lot of work

[@lynelljansen8057]

[@SCinspector]

Muddy buddy Bark, Golden Graham’s, peanut butter and chocolate with a powered sugar topping

[@judyyoung3831]

I order from you guys and I've NEVER been disappointed. But this one is to much like a smores. Marshmallows have a texture I don't like. You guys are great!!! I give a thumbs up on them all I watch..

[@E2HIGH]

Love the ad by the way 😂

Steve has some much innate knowledge of the materials, it is amazing.

a white chocolate, pretzels, marshmallows. White chocolate & cinnamon toast crunch
