If Greg says he will make a candy taste a certain way - he will. Just ordered several types of his candy, and let me be very clear - it was THE best hard candy I have ever had in my life. This man is a candy genius! He is brilliant. Cannot wait to order more! And as an aside, I always love the music he chooses for these videos.

I always love the little history tidbits, it's so cool to see where ideas came into being. Another great video!

i love this, but i think what makes the normal content so soothing for me is your narration after the fact, with no anxiety about if the batch will come out successfully. it feels like i'm peeking in on a peaceful process with a calm guide rather than watching someone work on the spot. that's entirely just me though and the videos are great either way.

This is awesome!! I love the explanation of what you’re doing and why, I hope the store heats up so things get easier for you!! :)

This is why oral histories are amazing! So glad to hear the story if chocolate covered strawberries from their originator.

Of all the candies I've seen Greg make this one really blew me away. Great color scheme and spot on graphic. They came out incredibly well especially when you consider that the candy was cooling quicker than it normally does at the beginning.

Oh, Greg. Your videos make me so happy.

These videos are so much fun to watch, keep doing what you're doing!

I got a new mic that got rid of most of the background hum of the store that made it possible. The downside is it is substantially harder and more time consuming to edit.

Hey Greg! This combo gave me an idea that is going to sound really odd. Ever thought about a fruit and cheese combination to your candy? I suppose starting with a cream flavor and adding something for tang would give you a mild cheesecake/creamcheese flavor or even brie. But what about cheddar like some people like to have on apple pie? Also, do you guys make your own ice cream? Babish and Sohla did a buttered popcorn ice cream that was pretty fun sounding and I figured it might be one you'd be into also :)

Hey Greg, absolutely love the live audio!

What a great story, I live right next door to the Driscoll HQ in Watsonville. Cool to know they were the first chocolate covered strawberries

I missed your videos! Here's to a happy new year for all of us, I always look forward to your videos and if shipping was so expensive and unreliable right now I'd definitely be ordering some

missed you guys, happy new year!

So glad I had the opportunity to visit your shop at the end of January 2020. I'd gotten hooked on your videos the previous year, and when I realized we'd be passing right past your exit on our trip home, we just had to drop in. Never thought I'd get a chance to go there in person (we're from Northern Wisconsin). Was sad to see you weren't working that day, and there was no candy being made, but it was still a wonderful experience!

I loved the holiday assortment I got last year

I bought a bunch of LP candy as a treat for myself and my husband this past Christmas and it was absolutely delicious and delightful. Perfect glassy texture and spot-on flavors. Highly recommend!

Watching you make candy is just... Relaxing...

There is something very cool about seeing a professional work with conditions that are not perfect, how to keep working when things start to go wrong. Super neat
