Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate & Mushrooms Theme Week.
Today's Brainstorm Singles - Mushroom Chocolate(s) for Focus & Energy were distributed by Alice Mushrooms Inc. (Los Angeles (Venice), CA).
There was quite a contrast between aroma and flavor notes for this dark chocolate. The aroma was a very faint, barely detectable (chocolate) aroma. But the flavor notes were quite intense--dark chocolate with a relatively bitter, slightly moldy, earthiness--presumably from the mushrooms/mushroom extract(s); but I am not 100% sure about that.
Texture: smooth texture with a satisfying melt
The small, individually-wrapped chocolates made it easier to have one small "dose" at a time. I appreciated the melt; and that the amount of caffeine per serving (66 mg.) was included on the packaging.
This bar contained a mushroom blend: "...750 mg [8:1 Lion's Mane Extract (fruiting body), Organic 8:1 Cordyceps Extract (fruiting body), Guarana, Phosphatidylserine]"
"Other Ingredients": Organic Semi-Sweet 72% Dark Chocolate (Organic Unsweetened Chocolate, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Cocoa Butter), Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter Guarana"
Allergen-related information: None found on packaging. (Be aware if you are mushroom or mold sensitive, this may not be a chocolate for you. I experienced nasal congestion and sneezing after consuming this bite.)
