Lets talk.chocolate

Hey all!
So I have some mushrooms, a little over 2lbs, from some tuba grown with clone cultures I was testing out. I havent tried them myswlf but the verdict is.. they arent very good. Not like what I usually grow.
There's several different cultures, and I know some of them are okay and at least one is pretty weak. I didn't label these so well so it would be a major pain in the ass to go through and test them out and weed out the duds.
so what I think I'm going to do is powder them up very well into a very homogeneous mixture. that way the potenxy should be relatively consistent by weight.
I figure then I will find a pretty decent dose and put it into each chocolate.
Ive never made chocolates with mushrooms before.
So:
1. Anyone have a good recipe or is it usually just chocolate?
2. I dont want them to be huge but I might have to fit like 4 gram into each chocolate, is that doable without them being nassty?
3. How do you make sure you get a pretty exact dose in each chocolate when making a whole ton of them? Do you have to weigh and mix each chocolate individually?
Thanks!

i've never done this but my buddy makes chocolates all the time and this is how he does it. he grinds up his fruits and weighs 1.8g onto individual peices of foil then he takes these small dark chocolate discs (hides the taste better than milk) and puts like eight of them in a little bowl in some water that is just at steaming temp without sizzling. then when it is just completely melted he adds the powder and mixes it in and pours into a mold. I think he reuses the foil to wrap the chocolates. I'm not sure if he used the biggest amount possible per chocolate or not.. just experiment with it. his are about 1/3 a hershey's bar.. you may need to double it, however when I took two of his chocolates I started gagging from so much chocolate.. one thing I keep telling him that would make them better is if he filled them with butterfinger crumbs (they sell bagged) good luck and let me know how it goes and if you added anything awesome!

Most chocolate is melted with mushrooms stirred in
Can dose by weight... Assume homogeneous mix... 1 lb chocolate, 1/2 lb mushrooms Cut into squares Weigh Ratio Enjoy
Some folks use ice cube trays... But... Eh
Peace

little silicone cupcake things work well, put some peanut butter in and you have psychedelic peanut butter cups! I wouldn't do it all at once. I would do them individually to keep it from getting too hot

The powder doesnt clump up though? Making some real strong others weak?
Cause yea this would be the easiest way if it mixes up fine

see, that's another worry, It could all settle.. i think you should be fine if you pour it thin enough and stir it well before it cools. well ground dried fungi is like flour it doesn't stick to itself it should be a fine powder

A friend of a friend made some cookies from a store mix. 50 grams dried and extracted with dry Everclear alcohol, complete extract was added to the cookie mix and he said it turned out very good. He said he is going a step further next time and along with an alcohol extract he is going to do a lemon extract too with some powdered mushroom and add it to a lemon icing to top off the cookies for more kick!
