You could rub a touch of cooking oil on it - this is just a decorative piece, right?
Doh! That's the sound of me hitting myself in the head... of course luster dust is gorgeous on chocolate! The ones I use do add a touch of color though.
I molded a piece of milk chocolate by adding a little bit of Karo syrup.
But it has a dull finish, any quick way of shining it up?
Thanks
Not sure why you added Karo when molding because Karo+chocolate=modeling chocolate for hand modeling flowers, figures, etc. You can, obviously press it into a mold, too, but the result won't be the same as "molded chocolate".
If you used liquid chocolate in a mold and it's dull, there's no way to make it shiny again unless you re-mold it (without Karo).
A dull finish usually indicates that the chocolate was out of temper (the fats are coming to the surface). Another option can be that the mold needed polishing (a cotton ball works nicely).

I would remelt it with paramount crystals -- you get the shiniest chocolate in the universe like that! Then when you unmold, use the cotton gloves -- fingerprints take away from the shine and even lustre dust cannot cover that .
