How It's Made: Watermelon Hard Candy

For the people wondering why we use our hands to put the corn syrup into the kettle it would stick to gloves or a ladle too much if we did that, trust us we've tried. Also the health code regulations that we abide by have determined that it is more than safe for us to do so without gloves because we then heat the candy up to 310ºF or 154ºC. As for the people worrying that Max didn't use soap when "washing his hands," he actually wasn't washing his hands, corn syrup isn't unsanitary or pathogenic, he was just rinsing the corn syrup off of his hands. And the reason he was rinsing his hands in between grabbing the corn syrup is because if you rinse your hands under cold water then corn syrup won't stick to your hands very much. The more you know 🌈🌠

the conversation makes me feel like the adults are talking at thanksgiving

As an avid people watcher, listening to a natural conversation is literally so soothing for me, this whole video just radiates vibes of hospitality and I love it

Atleast there was a conversation going on instead of a boring music.

8% making candy 92% conversation

If he pours the whole bag of sugar in Omfg he poured the whole bag in

These dudes just chilling and talking casually while making this candy, that’s the kind of workers that are good friends

I honestly love seeing people just have a non forced, happy conversation. No music, no edits just people happy to have a job :)

The fact that these people are doing all the work by hand instead of machine shows how much love and dedication they put into making this candy! #respect

I swear i wanted to take a big bite of that soft candy while they were mixing it.

I love the Hard Candy making process.. It's satisfying..and Max is so cute. 😝

It's funny how it's called "How it's made" like we could actually make this.

Me trying to study for my finals Also me watching a 48 minute long video about candy

Why are everybody so surprised with the amount of sugar? what did they expect? lol wtf😂

This was the first ever video I've seen from Hercules Candy and since then I can't stop watching your videos

I need to find out if you ever did dual flavor hard candies. The moment I heard that I started thinking about it. Orange creamsicle, root beer floats, key lime pie, margarita, Strawberry Shortcake, coffee and cream Bourbon and Coke where are some ideas I had

I could listen to that old man mix that candy on the table for hours. That's a man that is in no rush and is taking pride in his technique

So no one's gonna talk about how we were listening to a random conversation for 48 minutes._.

I love how they just talk to eachother normally and just talk with eachother. It feels natural

Why was this random conversation between friends while working and making candy so calming like i could fall asleep to this it’s comforting kind of like being a kid in the back of a car and adults are having a conversation you don’t understand but it’s so nice
