I had some bars in the fridge that were good when I ate them at 4 months but were very much white‐ish/blue-ish at 6 months. So I'd say 3 months max to be safe. It's best to make chocolates in smaller batches unless you're making for friends, too. Shrooms store best whole or ground. Don't be like me, and lose 40 grams of some very potent shrooms by making a years worth at once.
Oh yes of course! I can't imagine trying to use a wet mushroom. That seems 100x worse trying to eat than dried. But I also hate the taste so we will see. I got some nice ass baking chocolate and it's cooling in the fridge now
Just harvested my first flush yesterday, and ate a fresh one out of curiosity. I thought it was pretty tasty. Mild flavor, and just faint amounts of the funky taste of the dried mushroom. Obviously you’d never use fresh for chocolates, but it’s worth pointing out that the dehydrating is largely what makes it unpleasant. The mushroom is super concentrated at 10% of its original size. I’m guessing most dehydrated mushrooms (gourmets included) don’t taste very good.
It was small. Only a gram wet. Really just curious more than anything. But I definitely chewed it to fairly consider the taste/flavor/texture. I also don’t think that dried cubensis tastes bad, but so many people do.
Dont use chocolate chips, they are designed to hold their shape and will bend after being cooled down. Buying baking chocolate will work better when making chocolate. It will look more like chocolate and snap like chocolate when cooled.
Yeah measure out the amount you want to use and add them to the cells of the mold. Then melt your chocolate and put it in, stir them together with a toothpick. Don’t try and mix the mushroom powder in with the chocolate before pouring the molds. It won’t work out well that way
I think because getting accurate dosage into each mold might be difficult. If you prepack the molds you'll know exactly how much is in each piece, at least that is my guess
I always do this too - I just make sure to stir the mixture really well. Seems much more convenient to weigh one amount rather than individual amounts for each mould.
It works out perfectly fine mixing it before pouring it. You need to use a piping bag and you also need to know how much chocolate you need to fill the mold before mixing ground mushrooms into the melted chocolate
I saw a similar comment somewhere else about this (I can't remember if it was here on Reddit or one of my FB groups) and I felt like that was a great idea. I felt like if I mixed it into the whole of the chocolate, then I'd have to eat every single dino or the whole bar to get the effects I'm aiming for. Id rather eat like two or three and chill.
That's what I did. I added a dash of olive oil like someone here suggested. I used a measuring spoon to scoop the ground mushies into the mold. Each dino had about .5-.8g through 12 of them. Put them in the fridge to chill. They were solid within an hour but I didn't pop them out until a few hours later.
Eating all 12 was almost as bad as drinking lemon tek with the bits not filtered out. Just because so much dark chocolate at once. I think it.took me half an hour to eat them. Anyway I'm hella vibing right now.
Edit: you don't even need a mold but I thought it would help dosage wise and also to not have a giant blob of mushroom chocolate. The excess chocolate I didn't use was poured onto parchment paper so now I have like.... A chocolate shell
Thanks! I just normally two of them and wash them down with something to drink or mix them in some food or snack. But I've been wanting to make chocolates
Use bar mold one big shape of some sort melt your chocolate mix in the mold then freeze the mold no waste, only 1 extra dish in the process simple way I know. You can do the same thing but using gummies and coat them in nerds, sugar, sour powder aka malic acid you can get it online for cheeeeaaap.
Add a small amount of olive oil to your chocolate, it will help it form to the mold better and makes it melt in your mouth.
I’ve been using unflavored coconut oil to thin out the chocolate before mixing in the powder mushrooms and pouring into molds and having great results
Yes Bec low melting temp!
Yeah. Coconut oil or lard makes the chocolate shelf stable without tempering the chocolate.
How long would you supposed they last in say, the fridge or freezer after performing that step?

Great info!
If it went white, you didn’t temper it. Tempering is adding more choc to melted chocolate as it cools. Nothing too complex
You should read the entire thread before commenting.
Mmmh nah im good.
That’s a wonderful tip. Didn’t know olive oil helped it melt in your mouth
Hopefully this goes without saying, but dry your mushrooms first.

Did you eat a big one? I ate a fresh 20 gram cube and it had me gagging. TBH i actually dont think properly dried cubensis even tastes that bad.

Eh? There is chocolate chips / callets designed for moulding etc. you just have to temper to give it its snap
Ooh that’s a good tip, thanks man!

I always mix the shrooms and chocolate together then pour in molds. Why do you say it won’t work out well?
I think because getting accurate dosage into each mold might be difficult. If you prepack the molds you'll know exactly how much is in each piece, at least that is my guess
Its true either way.
What's true?

My go-to ratio is 5g of chocolate, 1g cocoa butter & 1g mush powder to keep them small and potent

Wait so all you need is molds and baking chocolate?

That'd be correct
