Before my daughter moved to Syracuse, I used to love watching videos of Hercules Candy making their…read morecandy. I was fortunate enough to finally visit when I was in the area. First, from the outside, it looks fairly typical, inside is clean, and has whatever type of candy or chocolate you desire. Amazing experience. They have a guest sign in sheet where you sign in, leave a message and place a pin in your hometown. The staff were friendly, helpful and just delightful to be around. I came for the fruity pebble bark. As luck would have it, it was one of the few things they were out of, it's popular, that's probably for a reason. So we got a couple of small bags of chocolate. I for milk chocolate covered pecans and my wife, dark chocolate covered toasted coconut. Their chocolate is next level good! I've been around, I frequent any local candy places I can. This was fresh, rich, flavorful. Some of the best chocolate I've had. Do yourself a favor and if you're in the Syracuse area, make Hercules candy a place you visit. You will be glad you did.

Ok, so I saw this cute video on YouTube about viral blue cream chocolates. I loved the look of the…read morecandies and the process of making them, and figured I'd try them out ... just once on a whim. My wife light heartedly teased me, "you did not just spend $$ on a box of candy from an unknown shop on the other side of the country!" I was worried about them surviving the trip to Fresno. Well, they arrived today, perfectly intact with a tiny bit of chill left in the cooler pack to keep them that way. My wife tried one (it's up to four, I think, now), and then she wanted to know the name of "this shop I found". She immediately dug up the shop's website and began picking favorites. Hercules now has two solid fans now in Fresno. My wife has been looking for years for a chocolate experience she's missed for all that time, and these provided that. It's fantastic that you can order light, dark, or mixed as well as creams, nuts, or mixed to get exactly the variety you like best. We got all dark and a mix of fillings. They are perfectly sweet without being cloyingly so. And both the chocolate and the cream inside are so smooth without a hint of the crystalization present in even premium brand mass-produced chocolates (think Godiva). I should probably add that I love them, too. But I had a feeling I would watching them being made, so that was kind of expected. The red creams are amazing! There were some crunchy toffee ones that I really loved as well. I haven't hit a blue one yet like in the video, oddly enough, but there are plenty more to go! We will definitely be having more shipped out this way before the 100°F summer months make that too risky.

It might be subzero winter, but the friendliness and warmth of the woman at the chocolate bar and…read morecashier kept the place nice and cozy! She was conversational and offered to weigh any chocolates before I bought any. I love how they still make their chocolates by hand (though that also means they are about $28+ per pound). I ended up getting salt water taffies just because of nostalgia, but maybe next time I'll try their chocolates.

I'm going to nit pick and say that I wish the chocolate on the truffles wasn't as thick. I believe it takes away from the delicious filling each has. Although I only bought a box of truffles, they also sell other candies such as lollipops, hard candies, and chocolate-covered fruits. I'll be returning to taste their other goods!

I got the Reese's pieces pretzel(say that 5 times fast) and it was really good. There were three large-ish pretzels and enough chocolate and Reese's that I didn't really taste the salt of the pretzel but not so much that it was overwhelming. My friend got the peanut butter chocolate fudge. She said it was good, and coming from her that's saying something. I though it was good too. It was a softer fudge and was mostly chocolate with globs of peanut butter. I would have spread the peanut butter out more but that's just me. We also got a caramel vanilla coffee and that was good as well. I am very picky about coffee so it was nice to find something different that I liked. Overall, it was a good stop and I would love to be back and try new things. TLDR: Good food and good coffee, would go back.

I try to stock up every time I visit and end up eating the candy before I get home. This is definitely a place that everyone with and without a sweet tooth should visit. It's nostalgic and reminiscent of times of old when I would buy penny candy. Also when most stores had a variety of candy to choose from.

They will not take them out of the heavy jars to ship because they said they would stick. Well have they ever heard of wax paper, parchment paper or plastic wrap? They really should do this and they could just wrap them and put them in a box and send them a lot cheaper and not loose customers. Nora's wake up you should find a way to ship them cheaper!
