Do You Have a Question?

I'll be answering ten questions each month... and if your question is chosen, I'll post a personalized response!

How do you get the melted candy coating on "pops" to look so shiney? I do add shortening to the melted Wilton candy melts to thin out and thought this might make them shiney, but they are nothing like what I see in my Wilton Pops book or the pics posted. Thank you so much.

Candy Melts get shinier when hardened in the refrigerator. For some reason, if you allow them to harden at room temperature, they dry with a duller finish.
