About Shortening confectionery, coconut (hydrogenated) and or palm kernel (hydrogenated)
Confectionery shortening made from hydrogenated coconut oil and/or hydrogenated palm kernel oil is a specialty fat used in chocolate coatings, candy bars, and compound coatings. Both oils are highly saturated even before hydrogenation, giving the finished fat a sharp melting point near body temperature - which produces the characteristic clean snap and melt of chocolate-style coatings.
