Was introduced to Hercules by a co-worker with the Super Sour and Watermelon candies. Then started watching the videos. I enjoy the behind the scenes look and the process in making the candy. I ordered all hard candy - Green Apple, Super Sour, Lemon and Cranberry and Green Apple and Caramel Ribbon and Peanut Butter Cup Ribbon. Favorite is the Green Apple (hands down) Cranberry is a very subtle flavor, was hoping for more, but not bad. Would LOVE if they would double the citric and malic acid and make a Super Duper Sour. I love that it is mixed throughout the candy and doesn't die out after you suck off the coating. I like the Super Sour as it is, but would like it more if it had more sour. The ribbon candy does not ship well, it doesn't seem, but, you have to break it to eat it anyway, so that didn't bother me. The peanut butter cup was intriguing. If texture is a thing for you, this may throw you off. Getting the peanut butter cup flavors while sucking on a hard candy can confuse the mind. Good flavors, just mind bending... I look forward to purchasing more.Final note: I 100% love Terry's humor. I had gotten emails about candy's being back in stock, but when I went to make my order, the cranberry was sold out less than 2 days after it was restocked. I added a note to my order that if they had any cranberry in stock, I would love to add a bag to my order. I got a call from the shop within an hour or so saying they had one bag left. I said I would love to have it it if I could, and her response was, no, she was just calling to let me know they had one bag and that I couldn't have it... ?? My kind of humor... I thank them for their prompt service and response. I paid for the bag and it was in my shipment. Someday I will make the trip to visit the shop. Until then, I will just have to order remotely...Yes, the candy is worth the shipping fees... Just buy a lot so that percentage of the shipping is smaller compared to the products...

Got my chocolates in the mail: the dark chocolate potato chip bark, s’mores bark, and the peanut butter cookie bark. Timely delivery and tasty. Will be ordering from them again!

Ordered online from the West Coast after watching many, many of their YouTube videos, and have been incredibly impressed with the quality of the candy and how quickly my orders have been processed. The Sour Hard Candy pack is my current favorite thing. Highly recommended, I think you've got a long-term customer from me. Thanks for being amazing :)

Absolutely amazing flavors. Yes the chocolate is great, but the flavor in the creams and the hard candy is what sets them apart. Quick, well packed shipping is a plus as well.

Absolutely beautiful chocolates. I delivered a chocolate box to my husband in California and they arrived in perfect condition. You can tell this company puts their heart into their products! Thank you!

Watched them on YouTube for about a year and always resisted ordering. I would tell myself "I have nice chocolate stores nearby, they probably don't taste that different" etc. Wow, was I wrong.This chocolate is creamy, decadent and delicious. Our family has tried different types of filled ribbon candy, hard candy, chocolate covered gummi bears, Valentines chocolate boxes, and various types of chocolate bark. Everything was amazing and exceeded my expectations! You can't find chocolate like this everywhere! It's special and a real treat.If you're skeptical like I was, take a chance and try it. You won't be disappointed.

Remember have a chocolate cover potato chip for the first time and it was mind blowing. Just never thought about sweet and salty when I was younger. The chocolate is very smooth and creamy. The chocolate can be pricey and it's really good very local. They do sell hard candies. Its a nice little store and easy to find the candies you are craving. Good place to get a Valentine's Day gift for your mom, dad, boyfriend, girlfriend and or significant other.

Ordered online after seeing their youtube videos, and I must say, it is as good as it looks on camera. I will definitely be ordering again in the future. Must be said, too, processing and shipping were extremely fast. If I'm ever in the area I will definitely be stopping in!

I ordered candy from Hercules Candy Company for the first time recently and every single candy I ordered was in great condition when it was delivered to my home. The ribbon candy I ordered came in perfect condition. Everything was packaged so well that prevented any breakage and the candy is of course delicious. I really appreciate the care that went into my package.

Great candy, people and service! Chocolate covered potato chips, pretzels, marshmallows and gummy bears are a must. Also fantastic ribbon candy when available!

I have not personally been there yet, but a dream of mine is to stop this shop when I visit New York State for the first time ever...but I still believe I can rate the atmosphere and service still.Food: Wonderful and flavorful! What it states is what you get, and of course they have a whole variety of everything plus experimental new flavors!Service: As I stated I have never been there, but I have had the opportunity to watch them on YouTube for many years now, plus their latest TikTok videos! They care, respect, and are passionate to this craft and their employees in every clip.Atmosphere: Part of last section fits in this category, but I'll add in the time, effort, and skill they put into just shipping the packages. The items are shipped with minimal wiggle room for the items to break apart while shipping.I know I can only rate 5/5 on their scales, but in reality it is a 10/5 stars. Please keep up the great candy creations, and continue enhancing the wonderful environment you already have!

I ordered a box of the assorted chocolates and requested all creams because they are my favorites. I told them my favorite cream flavors and Terry was very kind and accommodated my special flavor requests to the best of their abilities. The chocolates arrived today and they are amazing!! The best creams I have ever had. I don't mind paying extra for a great quality and delicious product. I will definitely be ordering again.

I was watching one of their YouTube videos when I realized they're right here in Central NY! When I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the staff. I was hoping to get a peek at some candy making, but maybe next time, I'll get lucky. The candy is delicious. I tried their stuffed candy ribbons. The green apple with caramel is dangerously delightful. Omg. I could eat an entire bag by myself. The sour fruit candies were delicious as well. Keep in mind that these candies are handmade with love. Come support a local business and enjoy some top-tier candy. You won't be sorry.
