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.

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'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.
