"I don't know why I didn't review these when I bought them several years ago! When I bought these, I bought two bags of each. I used tons of them every year when I make spritz cookies (and I'm still using my orginal stock!). I hand decorate each and every one (I would recommend you buy the dragees tweezers if you decorate lots of cookies) and these make such a statement it's unbelievable! They are very shiny and even though I have had them for a little over two years they are still as shiny as the day I got them. If you really really want your cookies, or anything you make to stand out, use these!"
