Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate & Mushrooms Theme Week.

Today's Turkey Tail Maitake & Chaga Functional Mushrooms in 70% Dark Chocolate (square) was manufactured (from cacao bean nib-to-bar) by Moksha Chocolate (Boulder, CO). 

Aroma and flavor notes included: hearty, dark chocolate with a slight, woody/umami bitterness and acidity. 

Texture: smooth texture (no detectable mushroom powder(s) in the mouthfeel or melt)

This 70%er was packed with deep, dark, chocolate-y flavor with authentic woodsy mushroom notes--and balanced acidity and bitterness--making it satisfying and easy to savor slowly. I enjoyed the depth of the combined flavors and that the resulting chocolate wasn't too sweet. 

I appreciated the well-executed flavor blend, the use of coconut sugar, and the short list of ingredients. 

Ingredients: Cacao Nibs, Coconut Sugar, Cacao Butter, Dried Mushrooms (Turkey Tail, Maitake & Chaga)

Allergen-related information: Contains Coconut (Sugar)

Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate & Mushrooms Theme Week.

Today's Reishi Functional Mushrooms in 65% Dark Vegan Chocolate (square) was manufactured (from cacao bean nib-to-bar) by Moksha Chocolate (Boulder, CO). 

This reishi mushroom chocolate bar was labeled for "Night Time"--a reference to the thought that reishi mushrooms contain compounds that can act as a non-drowsy relaxant at the end of the day.

Aroma and flavor notes included: smooth, dark chocolate; faint coconut; and mushroom.

Texture: smooth textured (no mushroom powder "grit")

I appreciated the balanced and well-executed flavors, and the short list of ingredients.

Ingredients: Cacao Nibs, Coconut Sugar, Coconut Milk Powder, Cacao Butter, Dried Mushrooms (Reishi)

Allergen-related information: Contains Coconut (Coconut Sugar, Coconut Milk).
