Today, Benjamin and I, along with friends from Rochester, visited Hercules Candy Company in East Syracuse. It's housed in the owners' home, and the candy is made in the basement. We went on an informal tour where we were able to go into the basement and talk with the owners as they made the candy. Today they were making chocolates! Mmm....and we got to sample dark chocolate candies with a cherry cream center! Delicious!
After watching for a few moments and asking about all the different chocolates they had made, we went back up into the shop and bought some yummy treats! I chose a dark chocolate turtle (with pecans and caramel), and Benjamin bought a bag of green anise ribbon candy! We're pretty excited about it, especially since we saw the video of the ribbon candy making! You can see it, too, on Hercules Candy Company's web site! Just go to their "VIDEOS" page. You can also see how they make candy canes and peanut brittle. I could never make the ribbon candy myself because I'm soooooo terribly slow at everything.
I had fun...mostly because I loooooooove candy!! I'm so glad to have a candy company near my house! (only 1.8 miles away)
Check it out! Hercules Candy Company
