Magic mushroom chocolate may sound like a fairy tale term, but this fungal breed contains psilocybin chemical, which is a common hallucinogen. Consumed on their own, shrooms have a strong, tangy flavour. However, the intensely flavoured shrooms can be fused with rich chocolate, making it a great sweet treat.
What You Need to Make Magic Mushroom Chocolates
To create magic mushroom chocolates, you’ll need the following:
- The chocolate of your choice (or ingredients listed below if you want to make it from scratch)
- A large glass bowl
- A cook saucepan
- A grinder
- Dried, grounded magic mushrooms
- Chocolate molds
- Fridge or cool storage area
People often recreate mushroom chocolates with other rich constituents. The dried mushrooms can be mixed with cocoa powder, sugar, unsalted butter, a pinch of salt, and whole milk to create a tasty shroom trip if you want to make your chocolate from scratch. The shroom chocolates must be given ample time to cool down in the refrigerator. This will help you master the art of making chocolates in the comfort of your own home.
Dosage for Shroom Chocolates
As magic mushrooms can have a significant impact on a person’s nervous system, it is essential to include a limited quantity of this ingredient in preparing the chocolates so that you don’t overdo it.
If you don’t regularly consume shrooms, you shouldn’t put more than 0.4 grams of dried mushrooms if the chocolate mixture is lower than 1 gram. However, if the mushrooms are fresh, then you can add up to 1.5 grams to the chocolate mixture.
The intensity of the mushrooms in the mixture can range from 0.6 grams of dried or 5 to 6.3 grams of fresh ones under normal scenarios. If you are a regular user of psilocybin shrooms, then you can easily handle the effect of 2 to 2.3 grams of dried shrooms or 20 to 22.5 grams of fresh ones. All these computations are for a mixture of 1 gram of chocolate.[1]
How to Make Magic Mushroom Chocolate
For those searching for making their own chocolate edibles, this recipe is a simple way to create chocolate shrooms easily and with minimal effort. Take into account how many pieces of chocolate you want to make, and make sure to adjust your shroom dosage accordingly.

Step-by-step instructions:
- Grind the dried mushrooms into a fine powder. Add the chocolate bar to the bowl and prepare the saucepan filled with water to melt the chocolate into a dark, rich sauce. Place the chocolate in a bowl on top of the boiling water in the saucepan.
- You can also heat the chocolate bowl in the microwave for a few seconds to melt it. However, be mindful that your chocolate doesn’t become burnt.
- Cool the melted chocolate slightly and then add chopped mushroom to it. Mix it well so that the mushroom and chocolate are well combined in the mixture.

Hot Chocolate With Magic Mushrooms Recipe
A fun alternative to the traditional chocolate edibles is making hot chocolate with shrooms. It’s a sweet variation of having shrooms in tea.
Ingredients:
- Magic mushrooms
- 2 ¼ cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chocolate
- 1 cup of whole milk
- Utensils as mentioned above.
Instructions:
- Grind the dried mushrooms into a fine powder. Add the shroom powder into a bowl with the cocoa powder until everything is evenly combined. Store the dry components in an airtight container to be used later.
- Next, heat a cup of milk in the microwave or on the stove. Add the chocolate mushroom powder to the milk and stir it well. Two tablespoons of this powder will provide just the right amount of chocolaty flavour to the milk.
- It’s essential to let the chocolate drink rest for five minutes before drinking it. This will help the mushroom combine well in the warm milk.
- Be aware that liquid forms of magic mushrooms can often increase the time it takes for a trip to come on, so make sure you are well prepared and somewhere comfortable to enjoy the effects.[3]
It’s best to drink this straight away, and it isn’t generally a good idea to store it away for later. It’s best served hot on a cold day, but if you want a cold variation, you can wait for the milk to cool down before consuming it.
Where can I buy shrooms online to make chocolates?
There are many places in Canada where you can get magic mushrooms. You can buy shrooms online from our dispensary, The Fun Guys. We have all the raw ingredients you need to make your chocolates excellent.
In Canada, while the possession and sale of psilocybin (the active compound in magic mushrooms) are regulated, there are exceptions for medical and research purposes.
Making magic mushroom chocolates yourself can be a satisfying experience, but if you want to skip buying shrooms to make chocolates, you can purchase shroom chocolates directly.
What’s the Right Strain of Mushrooms for Making Chocolates?
Choosing the right strain depends on the desired effects. Golden Teacher shrooms are a popular choice for a more introspective and enlightening experience. For those seeking more potent and intense visual effects, strains like Penis Envy or Blue Meanie might be preferred.
Using one of these three popular magic mushroom strains ensures your chocolates will provide the desired effects. Golden Teachers are the most commonly used strain for shroom edibles in Canada.
Consider each strain’s potency and typical effects, and start with a lower dose to gauge your reaction.
Can I Make Mushroom Chocolates with Fresh Mushrooms Instead of Dried ones?
While most recipes recommend dried mushrooms for their predictable potency and easier grinding, fresh mushrooms can be used. However, fresh mushrooms contain more water, which could affect the chocolate’s consistency.
Adjusting the quantity is crucial, as fresh mushrooms are less potent by weight than dried ones. Always dry and grind them finely before adding them to the chocolate mixture.
What’s the Best Way to Store Magic Mushroom Chocolates?
Magic mushroom chocolates should be stored in a cool, dark place, preferably in an airtight container, to maintain potency and prevent melting.
The refrigerator is ideal for extended storage, but ensure they’re well-wrapped to avoid moisture. Consume within a few months for the best experience.
Can Magic Mushroom Chocolates Be Used for Microdosing?
Yes, magic mushroom chocolates can be an excellent method for microdosing, provided you accurately calculate the dosage. Ensure a consistent mix of mushrooms in each piece to maintain a uniform dose when making the chocolates.
Start with a low dose, typically a small piece of chocolate, to find the right amount for microdosing, aiming for sub-perceptual effects that don’t induce a full psychedelic experience.
The Benefits of Magic Mushrooms in Chocolate
Magic mushrooms are used for a variety of reasons. Whether it’s to open your mind spiritually, to reduce anxiety and depression or to try and reach euphoria, mixing them with chocolate only enhances the experience.
Due to the unpleasant taste, many people can feel queasy after consuming shrooms, but mixing with chocolate masks the taste and can make for a great snack when out in nature. Mixing with certain chemicals that are present in cocoa is believed to intensify a magic mushroom trip, making it easier to feel the effects.
This should be taken into consideration when considering the dosage amount, as you should always build up from a small amount, especially if you are new to taking magic mushrooms.
Finally, taking shroom chocolates can be a fun way to end an adventurous day of magic mushroom hunting. The process is easy; you can create your favourite flavours to accompany your shroom trip.
Conclusion
Magic mushroom chocolates are a treat for your taste buds. However, you need to be conscious of the precise quantity of every ingredient. It’s the perfect way to enjoy discreetly and makes transporting them to your desired location easy.
Magic mushrooms have a strong taste, but they can make a great dessert combined with milk, sugar, and cocoa elements.
