A bit of cocoa butter in the molds does (in my experience) tend to lead to a bit shinier result. We clean with cocoa butter anyway, so I don't usually really add any...

Would painting the molds first with cocoa butter do it? If so, does cocoa butter have to be tempered, and how do you temper a tiny amount? What about mixing extra cocoa butter into the chocolate? Would this improve the chocolate taste also? Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
