I'm a white chocolate girl. He's a dark chocolate man, but the pecan caramel fudge and both white and dark nailed it for us. In addition we bought some cappuccino truffles for another night with a great bottle of red wine. Service was amazing. They gave us samples, we were lucky to be on a Wednesday during the fall season when it wasn't so busy, but it felt like somebody's mother's kitchen while we were there! Small place, very welcoming, and it seemed like many people were congregating near the kettle corn which we did not sample or buy. Fun day, welcoming town and now enjoying our fudge!

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.

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 have tons of gummies, chocolates, and all sorts of random weird candies to choose from. I will warn you, if you aren't careful, you will probably end up spending way more than you should when you come here. Yes the prices are a bit high, but I will not fault them for that. The condition of their candy is pristine and their location is beyond perfect. If you have not come here then you must stop what you are doing right now!
