Making chocolates

Hey everyone! Been reading alot of teks on making mushroom chocolates.. Are there any that give you an almost precise dosage in each on?? Or am I just missing it? I wanted to turn them to powder and get 3.5 in each chocolate. Is that possible or are all the teks a bit hit and miss when it comes to making them for precise dosage? Thanks!

I make chocolates....this is what I do....I put all the weight I want to use in my foodrpcessor and mill the dried mushrooms into a fine powder.....meanwhile I melt a bag f chocolate chips using a pot of water with the bowl of chocolate chips on top....I then mix theowdered mushrooms In with the me Ted chocolate and stir and mix as evenly as I can.... Then I spoon the chocolate into tea candle aluminums (my grocery store sells bags of 50 tea candles for 1.99$...that's fifty chocolate molds.....) then let them set and wrap in light duty aluminum foil...,

If you mix evenly enough you get a good distribution of mushroom dosage...so say you put thirty five grams of mushroom powder into your bowl of chocolate chips....then divide that mixture between ten molds....you have ten 3.5 gram chocolates....that will be very close to evenly dosed....I like 1.5 gram chocolates as milling into powder vastly increases surface area and effectively increases potency.
Hope this helps.

Just divide the amount of shrooms you are using by the number of chocolates you make.
if you are using molds, make a few test pieces and weigh them up so you can then plan.
EXAMPLE: your test pieces weigh 25g. And you want to make 10 pcs.
you will need 250g of chocolate/shroom mix, and you know you need 35g of shrooms(35/10=3.5g per chocolate) of that needs to be shrooms.
that is an example, I don't know what you are actually working with. but it is relatively easy to figure.

Considering its volume that's more important than weight (10g of shrooms doesn't necessarily take up the same space as 10g of chocolate) wouldn't it be better to measure in ml? Shouldn't be difficult with fine powdered shrooms.

So I normally feel 1g when I take it on an empty stomach (shrooms are pretty potent), will taking it like this feel the same as if I just took 1g normally? Is this really worth doing? Because I have a bag of chocolate chips in the cabinet and some dry mushrooms just sitting around

it will weigh the same when saturated with chocolate.

It is definitely worth doing....but only if you mix all the shrooms with all the chocolate....I wasted an entire half oz one time trying to mix individual chocolate and ended up with a gross mess....

Use division and units of measurement along with mixing to make sure each one has the weight you want

Damn measuring.. Thats what I figured, I was going to try each chocolate individually but that does sound like a mess and extremely time consuming

I'm telling you that if you try to mix them individually you're going to waste your time....everything moves towards equilibrium in mixtures if you stir it long enough.....I'm speaking from experience in making mushroom chocolates also....pour all of your mushroom powder into all of your chocolate....mix it up til it's smooth.....then divide into the number of candies you want....the worst thing that can happen this way is one or two are SLIGHTLY stronger or weaker than the others....

I think he was saying that he was originally planning on doing them individually but after reading the replies he realizes that it does sound better to mix it all together

it will weigh the same when saturated with chocolate.
Perhaps you're right. So the dry shrooms actually absorb the chocplate? But that doesn't help him create accurate doses does it? He'd be weighing his shrooms pre chocolate saturation... meaning the dry shrooms will probably take up more of the moulds than the chocolate by weight, meaning weighing out the test moulds to guage a dose won't be accurate?
I'd still say volume would be a more accurate way to go.
See how much volume 3.5g of shrooms is, then subtract that from the total volume of yor moulds to see how much chocolate is needed. Then multiply by however many moulds you're making. No?

I'm just gonna throw it into an ice tray and do the math of how much is in each one later 
When I'm cooking it I'll just go off of how it looks. I'm not shooting for super concentrated candies anyways, I'm down to munch on 2 or 3

Of course I'll weigh out the mushrooms before I grind them up and throw them in I'm just not going to worry about getting a certain dosage in each chocolate. If I do the math after it's all said and done and each chocolate has .8 or 1.4 or something like that, I'm not going to worry about it.
