Functional Mushrooms are the perfect companions for boosting the health factor of homemade magic mushroom chocolate recipes. The natural earthy and bitter flavors of mushrooms complement the notes of high-quality dark chocolate very well.
The biggest thing to ensure here is that you select at least 70% or richer cacao to take advantage of the polyphenols present in chocolate bars. Plus, these bark/bars will naturally be lower in sugar and dairy.
This wonderful recipe by Heather Hendricks shows just that! ENJOY!!!
