Dreamland Psychedelics Mushroom Chocolate Bar

Can You Spot the Difference Between a Dreamland Mushroom Bar and a Regular Chocolate Bar?

Dreamland Psychedelics sells chocolate bars with psilocybin, the psychoactive ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms, instead of cacao. Can you tell which one of these bars has mushroom and which one has cacao? The answers may surprise you! Photo courtesy of Dreamland Psychedelics.

How Mushrooms Affect your Mood
Mushrooms are often called magic mushrooms because of their hallucinogenic properties. But no matter how you feel about mind-altering drugs, there’s one thing we can all agree on: They don’t usually taste very good. Despite its name, psilocybin—the chemical compound that makes magic mushrooms psychedelic—is a tasteless substance that typically has to be taken orally or brewed into tea. For some people, though, eating psychedelics may be as easy as enjoying an after-dinner chocolate bar—which is exactly what two Spanish entrepreneurs hope will happen with their new company, Dreamland Psychedelics.

Low Sugar, High Nutrition
Although regular chocolate bars provide some nutritional value, they’re also packed with sugar, which can have adverse effects on your health. By contrast, Dreamland Bars are made from all-natural ingredients that are actually good for you! Plus, they don’t contain any nasty added flavors or other artificial sweeteners to tempt your taste buds. Additionally, these healthy chocolate bars are vegan-friendly and totally free of GMOs! Best of all, our innovative recipe uses mushrooms to boost levels of well-being in just about anyone who eats them (check out our testimonials for more information). Not sure whether or not you should try a dreamland mushroom bar? Ask yourself: do I really want to improve my mental health by eating candy?

The Benefits of Mushrooms
Dark chocolate contains antioxidants, which can provide anti-aging benefits, as well as provide many other benefits. As beneficial as dark chocolate is on its own, that’s not where its superpowers end; it also contains psilocybin mushrooms. Mushrooms have long been used to treat anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

A Brief Guide to Psilocybin (Magic) Mushrooms
Terence McKenna once famously said that magic mushrooms are nature’s LSD. A psychedelic trip, or trip, usually occurs after ingesting some type of psychedelic substance. During a trip, you may experience hallucinations (seeing things that aren’t there), delusions (believing things that aren’t true), altered perception (experiencing colors differently than normal), feelings of panic/anxiety, nausea/vomiting, sweating/chills, increased heart rate and blood pressure, loss of appetite and inability to sleep normally. These effects can last anywhere from 6-8 hours. It is important to note that not everyone who uses magic mushrooms has a bad experience; many people who take them feel uplifted or creative.

What Are They Made Of?
At its core, our chocolate is made with four things: organic cacao butter, organic evaporated cane juice, cocoa mass powder (cocoa liquor) and real vanilla beans. We then use our secret ingredient: shiitake mushroom extract. The mushrooms give us that magic truffle taste without all of the fat or calories found in traditional truffles. It’s not even an extract—they take raw shiitake mushrooms, slice them thin and marinate them in water to pull out their flavor. Then they add a bit of sea salt to give it that umami kick people love so much!

Why Do They Have to Taste So Bad?
Mmm, chocolate. There’s just something about that sweet, creamy taste that makes us go weak in the knees. Unfortunately, chocolate isn’t as good for you as it tastes—in fact, it’s pretty bad. Studies show that regular chocolate contains caffeine and can increase blood pressure over time. So how do you get your fix without sacrificing your health? Head over to your local head shop and try some Dreamland Mushroom bars! These tasty treats are designed to replicate what mushrooms taste like: A mixture of wood chips with a hint of garlic (mmm….)
