Please see pics. Obviously on the 3 bars pic, the left one is untempered, middle is tempered, and right is somewhat(?) tempered.

First question, does the chocolate have good shine?

Second question

As you can see, it has some white spots on the right one, and minimal spots on the middle one.

I notice this white spots occurs when the mold has some residue (maybe a sugar residue) from the previous chocolate that was molded before this one. What is this residue? and How do I prevent residue on the mold? I use a non prof mold, maybe that's the reason? Or I didn't preheat the mold.

Third question

On the second pic, you can see some holes. How do I prevent this holes?

Thanks.

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
