I was surprising how different chocolate chips can be! The generic store brand had a much nicer shape then the high priced ones. I guess they put their $$ into advertising, not their chip shape. You really have to get close to a chip to see the difference.

I didn't use oil or heat lamps to get the sheen. I used spray acrylic. The acrylic soaked into the chips rather quickly, so I had to reapply. They did get a little glossier than I would have liked, this is one of my later shots. Unfortunately I couldn't eat any of the chocolates afterwards.
Excellent work. I only wish the white "chip" was more white than cream in color. I love that you faced them all in the same direction and put the heat to them.
Very nice idea for the challenge. The composition of your picture is really nice; however, the melty, slimy look that the chocolate has really detracts from the photo. It's too bad it got so melty in the hot lights.
