How To Make Magic Mushroom Chocolate
Making these magic mushroom chocolate treats is actually quite simple. Let’s take a look at the necessary ingredients, equipment and cooking instructions.
Equipment
- Glass or metal bowl.
- Large saucepan.
- Sharp knife or coffee grinder.
- Stirring spoon.
- Chocolate moulds or a non-stick baking tray.
- Any toppings, if desired.
Ingredients
- Bars of chocolate.
- Cracker-dry magic mushrooms.
- Raw, unrefined cacao, if desired.
Cooking Instructions
- Ensure your magic mushrooms are thoroughly dried.
- Use your sharp knife or grinder to either cut or grind the magic mushrooms into small pieces.
- Now break up the chocolate into pieces and place it into a glass or metal bowl.
- Pour some water into the saucepan, then place the glass or metal bowl on top of it.
- Ensure there is at least one inch of space between the water and bottom of the bowl.
- Place the saucepan over a medium flame and bring the water to a simmer.
- Once the water simmers, the steam will heat up the chocolate.
- Stir the melted chocolate gently with a spoon.
- When the chocolate is fully melted, allow it to cool for at least one minute.
- Remember the temperature needs to be below 70°C. Use a candy or alcohol thermometer to check this.
- After the chocolate has cooled, but is still liquid, add in the grinded mushrooms.
- You can add raw cacao powder at this point, as well.
- Stir the chocolate mix so everything is distributed evenly.
- Carefully pour it into the moulds, then place them in the fridge to cool.
- Once the shroom chocolate treats have set, enjoy them!
How To Dose Magic Mushroom Chocolate
You simply have to use one normal dose of mushrooms per portion of mushroom chocolate. For instance, if you are making one mushroom chocolate bar to share between two people, then use two doses of mushrooms. Make sure you evenly distribute the mushrooms throughout the chocolate bar. This equates roughly to one dose per half of chocolate.
With that being said, it can be difficult to evenly distribute the mushroom throughout the chocolate. Always proceed cautiously with your first dose, especially if you are not used to psilocybin’s effects. If you properly grind and stir your shrooms, though, a more intense trip than expected should not occur. It’s important to always err on the side of caution when it comes to dosing the mushrooms.
Does Cacao Enhance Magic Mushroom Chocolate Effects?
Unrefined, raw cacao works as a light MAOI, meaning when combined with magic mushrooms, it can slightly enhance their overall effects. Stronger MAOIs can be unpleasant, yet most users agree cacao is quite appealing.
Most chocolates do contain refined cacao, in which the MAOIs are not present. If you wish to add this element to your chocolate, it could be worth adding some extra raw cacao to the final mix.
How Long Does Magic Mushroom Chocolate Last?
Of course, there is no single answer to this as it mostly depends on the chocolate used. If the chocolate remains sealed and stored in a cool and dark place, it will likely retain its psychoactive properties for at least one year. Although it can taste bad, chocolate doesn’t go off in a way that’s especially harmful.
Can You Make Chocolate With Magic Truffles?
Yes, it is certainly possible to make chocolate treats with magic truffles. This mix will work as long as the truffles are 100% dry. The active compounds in magic mushrooms and truffles are the exact same, producing the same effects, as well.
*Please note in 47 out of 50 states, psychedelic mushrooms are perfectly legal. Users can buy, sell and own psilocybin mushroom spores for research purposes only. However, it is illegal in nearly all jurisdictions to cultivate magic mushrooms. Psilocybin spores are never to be cultivated.
The only exception is in New Mexico, where it remains legal to grow mushrooms as long as no steps are taken to preserve the mushrooms. Make sure to familiarize yourself with your local psychedelic spore laws before placing an order. Psilocybin mushroom spores are currently illegal in California, Georgia and Idaho.
