Y'all know shellac as something you put on wood to seal it and make it shiny and pretty.
It's the secretion of the lac beetle.
Sometimes it's not called shellac; sometimes it's called "confectioner's glaze". It's used to create a shiny coating on candy, like junior mints and candy corn and jelly beans.
