I learned a lot from these chocolates.
Lessons learned:
White chocolate tastes AWFUL with shrooms. Never again 
Using dark orange flavored chocolate was way too strong.
Its better to use name-brand chocolate than generic bulk chocolate. Lindt and Hersey's brand were my favorites. Cadbery did not melt very well.
Adding dried nuts seemed to help with the taste, as both internal additions as well as toppers. But it mostly helps with texturing.
The shelf-life for these shroom chocolates is about half a year. But I recommend eating them within a month.
Using a cupcake pan as a mold for the cooling shroom chocolates was very helpful. Using multiple cupcake paper liners helped a lot too.
Labelling the bottom of the paper liner with the grams of shrooms added was really helpful too.

Gourmet Shroom Chocolates 3

Im really excited to make my first gourmet shroom chocolates. I just bought a bunch of ingredients for making 'em from the bulk store:
Milk Chocolate Melts White Chocolate Melts (edit: do not use white chocolate!) Butterscotch Chips Reese's Peanut Butter Chips Crushed Almonds Chopped Walnuts Honey-Roasted Peanut Halves Rainbow Sprinkles
Im gonna be experimenting with all sorts of mixtures and flavors 


Updated: 12/13/2023
Important Lessons Learned Thus Far:
Don't put coconut chunks in a coffee grinder! It will damage the coffee grinder. Buy shredded coconut or use a food processor instead. Shredded coconut inside of a coffee grinder is probably OK but i havent tried it yet.
Milk shroom chocolates do not age well. Make sure to store them well or eat them soon after making them. Id estimate they last about 1 month until they start tasting terrible.
Never use white chocolate! It tastes awful with shrooms mixed into it. Use only milk or dark chocolate.
Try to use as little chocolate as possible per X amount of powdered shrooms. This will make eating the chocolates easier. Ive found that 10 grams of chocolate per 1 gram of powder shrooms works well. Add 1-2 grams of chocolate at a time if more is needed to help with mixing ingredients.
Nuts do little to mask the shroom taste but they work great to help mask the texture of powdered shrooms.
Highly recommend buying an electric chocolate melter. Makes the whole process much easier. They freakin' rock!

Hrmm, I do like the idea of something a little chewy in there, like the shaved coconut meat and maybe dried fruits or nuts. Could help mask the potential grittiness that the shrooms can impart to the chocolates, if they aren't really well powdered.

For what it's worth, I found Ghirardelli chocolate melts nice and tastes good with things added to it.
You might want to keep an eye on the ones with coconut as they age. Sometimes chocolate with coconut will bloom quickly.
Also, Amazon has a lot of these style chocolate molds...

I like Guittard chocolate when making/baking stuff. Never tried making shroomocolates though.

Yeah, my thoughts are adding more flavors and textures to make the chocolates more enjoyable to eat. The dried ingredients will be either crushed or chopped.

Today's the big day! I have all the things I need to make the 2nd round of Gourmet Shroom Chocolates.
Today, I have (in clockwise order, starting at the top) Milk Chocolate melting chips ("sampled" a little too many ), semi-sweet melting chips, sliced almonds, crushed walnuts, dried pineapple, dried coconut, and dried banana chips. For my exotic ingredient, I have some Froot Loops (which i may or may not add this round).
Ordered this "jumbo" cupcake pan. They were not exaggerating! 
Some trippy rainbow baker cupcake wrappers. 

And I got my new electric 2-pan chocolate melter too. Thing thing looks awesome! Gonna test it out now

Very nice. I think those are the small single serve packets of fruit loops in the baggie. All the good stuff comes in baggies..lol.

Ha! So it turns out, I really didnt use the Froot Loops because the other chocolates I made came out so well! 
I'll post some pics soon. Conclusion? This WORKS! And it works WELL 
Only downside it seems is storage. I gotta get a vacuum sealer, which I currently do not own. Freshness matters with these shroom chocolates. An important lesson I learned with making these unique chocolates....

Rice crispys next! Did you do a proper temper? What's the dosage on your shroom cups? Since chocolate is fat soluble and it encapsulates the shroom powder, supposedly there's minimal potency loss from oxidation or water. Easily stored like regular chocolates wrapped in foil or Ziploc or freezer.

No rice crispys you heathen. Chips and cookies then for crunch. You're not talking actual cupcake height are you?
Fruits and nuts sounds good 
Mental note of chocolate combinations I'm going to try.

Iβve found in my pysco-chocolatier experiments that a little milk will give it a pleasant fudge like consistency. It can be over done pretty easily so you have to watch out. IMO, itβs easier and more pleasant to eat then regular harder cupcake tin-esque chocolates. Iβve also played around with a slightly larger silicone cube mold and that made proportions of chocolate to powder a little easier to keep consistent.
Also agree with the white chocolate assessment. Lol

Cool man!
That fudge idea sounds great. I wonder if you could use Almond milk 
My next experiment will be dipping dried fruits like strawberries, mangos, banana chips and papaya in the dose-measured shroom-chocolate mix then topping it with crushed nuts. Might be tasty

I have to say I'm glad you posted this because I thought about doing something similar, and white chocolate is my fav.
Have you heard or seen anything about putting shrooms in gummies, thoughts on flavour and viability ?

After many successful experiments, I am going to the next-level and using an experimental ingredient.
What I have learned thus far is any ingredient that has a strong taste works the best. So far, the best additions to the gourmet shroom chocolates have been powdered dry banana, powdered dry coconut and diced mango or pineapple. The crushed nuts I have added have little effect on masking the taste of the dried shrooms but they add some subtle tastes. But overall, the dried nuts add a nice texture and thats about it.
With my success with using dried fruits, I have decided to go synthetic with the taste of fruit.
At the store tonight, I bought 4 things: 2 types of chocolate chips (milk and semi-sweet), shredded sweet coconut and Fruit Bowl Jelly Belly Jelly Beans. My goal is to shred (powder?) the fruity jelly beans in my coffee grinder then mix it in with the shroom powder and chocolate. If i cant shred them, I'll probably just cut them into pieces with a knife. I may add some ground-up sweet coconut as well (coconut chunks almost broke my coffee grinder, best to avoid that form) but will have to likely add a little more chocolate to the whole mix, which i am OK with.
If i can successful "powder" the Jelly Beans and mix it into the chocolate, this could be a very effective/tasty Gourmet Shroom Chocolate. I still want to use dried powdered fruit but these Jelly Beans could be a worthy replacement for them.
Stay tuned

At one of my jobs we made edibles. I think the process was probably similar.

 I think chocolates are gonna be the way I consume for a while, really enjoyed it last time.

Im not sure what "blooming" is. Is it when the chocolate turns light brown?
Yes. You can usually see it as a color or texture change. I really hate the way it feels in my mouth.
It can be caused during the tempering process or by not storing it properly. It is caused by a separation of the fats and sugars.
