I have made some free candy props, (Posted on sharecg)  And I just used some textures I made for the candy. I am sure there is some way to make the candy more realistic using the nodes in the material room, I just haven't got a clue how to do it! 

I have a few lollipops and other hard candy, 1 similar to a lifesaver, can anyone give me some pointers on how to do some materials for them? Solid colors are fine.  Thanks :)
