The shiny coating on chocolate is produced by the chocolate itself! If you temper your chocolate properly then you should get a nice shine to your chocolate! If not then try putting a little bit of lard or butter in the chocolate as you melt it! Good luck!

It's easy to make your own candy by covering dried and fresh fruits, nuts, and other centers in melted chocolate. To achieve the optimum shine on your chocolates, though, you will need to melt the chocolate, let it cool a bit, then re-warm it slightly. This process is called tempering.
Instructions
Tips & Warnings
"Tempering" the chocolate by heating, cooling, and re-warming evenly disperses the cocoa butter in the chocolate and ensures that it won't get white streaks when cooled. If you're not so particular about the sheen of your chocolates, you can just melt the chocolate and go.

Melt the chocolate with some butter, and this will give it a shiny coating.

Temper your chocolate- milk and white choc temper at slightly lower temps than dark. Melt 3/4 s of your milk choc to 112• (no higher) bring down to 90• stir in the other 1/4 of the choc. Stir the heck out of it
