What Are The 7 Main Benefits Of Mushroom Chocolate Bars

There are many ways to consume mushrooms, including eating them entire (either damp or dried), lemon tekking, powdering them and putting them into capsules, making magic mushroom tea, or incorporating them into food. In terms of this last option, one popular way to do this is to make mushroom chocolates. Not everyone likes the taste of shrooms, so adding them to chocolate can be an effective way to mask the taste. This also allows you to discreetly carry around shrooms with you. This guide explains how to make mushroom chocolates, starting with how to obtain a batch of psilocybin mushrooms and afterwards describing the process of adding them to chocolate.

Classic psychedelics such as psilocybin and LSD enter the brain through the same receptors as serotonin, the body’s “really feel good” hormonal agent. Serotonin helps control body functions such as sleep, sexual desire and psychological states such as satisfaction, happiness and optimism. People with depression or anxiety often have low levels of serotonin, as do people with trauma, cluster migraines, anorexia, smoking addiction and drug abuse. Treatment typically entails selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which boost levels of serotonin available to brain cells. Yet it can take weeks for improvement to occur, experts say, if the drugs even work at all.

Many psychedelic users don’t mind the taste of shrooms at all. However, others aren’t a fan of the taste and may attempt to disguise the taste by eating them with other foods, such as apple sauce or peanut butter. Infusing the mushrooms into chocolate is another effective way to mask the taste. As a matter of fact, once infused, many individuals say the chocolate handles a nutty flavor. Certainly, consuming the dried mushrooms in capsules allows you to avoid the taste completely, but then you miss out on eating chocolate.

Psychedelic use among Indigenous peoples has a long history, therefore does the practice of blending a psychedelic substance with non-psychedelic substances, usually food or drink. These are referred to as admixtures and are thought to enhance a drug’s psychoactive impacts. The most significant example is a practice of the Aztecs of Mexico of combining psilocybin-containing mushrooms with liquid cacao (from the cacao tree whose seeds are used to make today’s chocolate). The Aztecs also combined psilocybin mushrooms with admixtures containing honey, flowers, and herbs, according to records of Aztec history by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.

Store mushroom chocolates in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. A glass Snap-Ware container, which you would normally use for storing weekday leftovers, will be perfect for the fridge. Make sure to line the container with waxed cooking paper to stop sticking. You can also place each individual chocolate in miniature waxed muffin paper.

Mushroom-infused chocolates, on the other hand, are discreet. They look the same as any other chocolate, so there’s no reason they’ll raise suspicion (unless they’re explicitly labeled as containing magic mushrooms). Some dealers and darknet vendors offer magic mushroom bars but they’re often labeled thus, which obviously isn’t as discreet as making your very own, without such labeling.

When making mushroom chocolates, you do not intend to guess your shrooms dosage. Doing so could either land you with an underwhelming trip, an overwhelming trip, or worse, a “bad trip”. When determining your dosage, you wish to consider how potent you want each piece of chocolate to be. Fun Guy would recommend that you make each piece of chocolate contain a low dose to make sure that you can always eat another piece, or half a piece, if you want the trip to be stronger. We also recommend you use a mid-strength Psilocybe cubensis strain such as “Golden Teachers”. Using scales, you can ration 1g of mushrooms for every piece of chocolate. This is an easily divisible low dose. One piece would give you a mild trip, 2 pieces a moderate strength trip, and more than that would be a strong trip.
