What Does Chocolate Magic Mushroom Cookies Entail?
Chocolate magic mushroom cookies are regular chocolate cookies infused with psilocybin (the active compound found in magic mushrooms).
What makes this method special is that it’s discreet, delicious, and ideal for those who want a more enjoyable way to consume shrooms without the raw, earthy taste.
This recipe is ideal for microdosing or for experienced users seeking a controlled, measured trip. Each cookie can be dosed precisely, making it easy to manage your experience.
The combination of sugar, fat, and cacao may also help ease digestion and kick in the effects more gently.
How to Make Chocolate Magic Mushroom Cookies: A Step-by-Step Guide
Before diving into the process, let’s start with the essentials.
Ingredients:
- Dried magic mushrooms (preferably Golden Teacher strain). Also, quantity depends on your preferred potency.)
- Chocolate bars (dark or milk, your choice)
- Raw cacao powder (optional, for added richness)
Cacao powder is made from raw cacao beans and nibs that are fermented, roasted, and milled into a powder. It’s similar to cocoa powder, but it’s more nutritious because it’s less processed.
Equipment:
- Saucepan
- Sharp knife or coffee grinder
- Mixing bowl
- Non-stick baking tray or silicone molds
- Stirring spoon or spatula
Instructions:
- Step 1:
- Chop or grind your dried mushrooms into small, even pieces. Use a sharp knife or a coffee grinder for a finer texture.
- Step 2:
- Break your chocolate into chunks and place them in a heat-safe bowl.
- Step 3:
- Fill your saucepan with a bit of water and place it over medium heat. Set the bowl of chocolate on top, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water; this is your double boiler.
- Step 4:
- Let the steam gently melt the chocolate. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the mixture is smooth.
- Step 5:
- Remove from the heat and let the chocolate cool slightly, but keep it liquid enough to work with.
- Step 6:
- Add your chopped or ground mushrooms to the melted chocolate. You can add cacao powder at this point if you’d like a deeper chocolate flavor.
- Step 7:
- Stir well to distribute the shroom powder evenly throughout the chocolate mixture.
- Step 8:
- Spoon the mix into cookie molds or onto a non-stick tray in cookie-sized portions.
- Step 9:
- Refrigerate until solid.
Storage Tips for Chocolate Shroom Cookies
To properly store your chocolate magic mushroom cookies and preserve their potency, wrap each cookie in parchment paper and place them in an airtight container.
You can store the container in the freezer, not the refrigerator, as freezing slows psilocybin degradation more effectively.
Avoid exposing the cookies to direct sunlight or excessive moisture so the shroom edible doesn’t go bad. So, wrap the container in foil or store it in a dark, dry place inside the freezer.
NOTE: Do not re-freeze if thawed. Always let the cookie come to room temperature naturally before consuming, without using a microwave.
Additionally, you can label each piece with the date and dose to track shelf life and prevent accidental overuse.
Will Psilocybin Mushrooms Lose Potency in this Recipe?
Some steps in this recipe can affect the potency of the shrooms, especially if not done carefully.
Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, begins to degrade at high temperatures. Multiple sources indicate that it starts at 70°C (158°F), but this also depends on prolonged exposure to heat.
Using a double boiler prevents direct heat exposure and maintains a low temperature, which helps preserve psilocybin. However, if the chocolate is too hot when the mushroom powder is added, some potency may still be lost.
Cooling the chocolate slightly before mixing in the mushrooms is crucial. Finely grinding the mushrooms can also improve absorption, but overheating remains the greatest risk to potency in this recipe.
For a Better Microdose Experience, Consider Pre-dosed Shroom-infused Chocolate Bars
Pre-dosed shroom chocolate bars make microdosing a lot easier and more reliable. Each piece already has a set amount of psilocybin, so you know exactly how much you’re taking every time.
Our commitment at Schedule 35 is to make magic mushroom edibles accessible, given their microdosing benefits for the body and mind.
We offer three tasty variants of psilocybin-infused chocolate bars, each containing 5 grams of psilocybin per pack (0.3g per piece).
That’s a big deal when you’re trying to stay in the microdose range and avoid tripping by accident. It’s really tempting when you’re consuming it as a treat.
