How to Make Magic Mushroom Chocolate, While the effects of magic mushrooms can be enjoyable, their taste is less than pleasant. Magic mushroom edibles, particularly those made with chocolate, offer a convenient way to consume psilocybin while masking the flavor.
As laws surrounding psilocybin continue to loosen, magic mushroom chocolate bars in varying strengths are now available for purchase online. However, availability can be limited by location, and the quality and potency of the product may not always be guaranteed.
Fortunately, making your own magic mushroom chocolate bars at home is a simple process, giving you full control over both the potency and flavor.
How to Make Magic Mushroom Chocolate Bars (The Easy Way)
Making magic mushroom chocolate bars is simple and can be done with just a few ingredients. All you need is your favorite chocolate and some dried magic mushrooms. This method is perfect for those who want to make delicious psilocybin chocolate without spending too much time in the kitchen.
Ingredients:
- Dried magic mushrooms
- Store-bought chocolate bars
- Water
Equipment:
- Weighing scales (accurate to 0.1 grams)
- Medium to large saucepan
- Glass bowl
- Sharp knife
- Rubber spatula
- Coffee grinder or food blender
- Chocolate molds or shallow tray
Step 1: Measure the Dose | How to Make Magic Mushroom Chocolate
The first thing you’ll need to do is decide how much psilocybin you’d like in each piece of chocolate. This part is customizable to your preference.
Start by figuring out how many individual pieces or squares will be in the finished bar. If you’re using a mold, check the number of squares it will create. If you’re using a store-bought bar, count the squares in the chocolate.
For example, my mold creates 15 squares (5 rows of 3). Using standard Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, I prefer to use about 0.5 grams of dried mushrooms per square. For a 15-square bar, this means I would need 7.5 grams of mushrooms. If I wanted each square to contain 1 gram, I’d use 15 grams of dried mushrooms in total. You can adjust this based on your preferred dosage.
Step 2: Grind the Magic Mushrooms
After you’ve weighed out your desired amount of mushrooms, the next step is to grind them into a fine powder. The finer the mushrooms are ground, the more evenly they will mix into the chocolate, and a finer powder will also help reduce the noticeable taste.
I recommend using an electric coffee grinder to get a smooth, fine mushroom powder. If you don’t have one, a blender works well too. Alternatively, you can finely chop the mushrooms with scissors or use a mortar and pestle, though keep in mind that this will result in a chunkier texture in your chocolate, making it slightly more “chewy.”
Step 3: Break Up the Chocolate
Using a sharp knife, break your store-bought chocolate bar(s) into smaller pieces. This will help the chocolate melt more evenly and quickly. Once broken into shards, add the chocolate pieces to a heat-safe glass bowl.
Step 4: Set Up a Bain-Marie (Double Boiler)
To melt the chocolate gently, create a Bain-Marie by placing the glass bowl with the chocolate on top of a saucepan filled with water. Put the saucepan on the stove and heat it over low to medium heat. Be cautious to avoid getting any water into the chocolate, as moisture can cause the chocolate to seize up.
Step 5: Melt the Chocolate | How to Make Magic Mushroom Chocolate
Bring the water to a gentle simmer and stir the chocolate in the glass bowl as it heats. It will take some time for the chocolate to melt completely, but using the Bain-Marie method ensures the chocolate melts evenly without burning.
Step 6: Temper the Chocolate
Once the chocolate is fully melted, remove the glass bowl from the heat. Stir the chocolate gently with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl. As the chocolate cools slightly and thickens, move quickly to the next step.
Step 7: Add the Magic Mushrooms
Now, stir in the finely ground magic mushrooms, ensuring they’re evenly mixed throughout the melted chocolate. This will help distribute the mushrooms evenly in each piece of chocolate.
Step 8: Pour the Mixture | How to Make Magic Mushroom Chocolate
Once the ground mushrooms and melted chocolate are well combined, pour the mixture into your chocolate mold or onto a shallow tray lined with parchment paper. Gently tap the mold or tray several times to release any air bubbles and ensure an even surface.
Step 9: Set the Chocolate
Place the mold or tray in the fridge to allow the chocolate to fully set. This should take no more than a couple of hours, depending on the size and thickness of your chocolate. Once it’s completely firm, your magic mushroom chocolate is ready to enjoy!
Step 10: Enjoy
Once the chocolate has fully set, it’s ready to enjoy!
You can store the magic mushroom chocolate bar in the refrigerator, where it will last for up to a year. However, for optimal potency and flavor, it’s recommended to consume it within two months.
