Astral Bars – Dark Chocolate (5g)

The dark chocolate Astral Bar is a 5 gram psilocybin bar built around a blend of Penis Envy and Tidal Wave mushrooms. The mushrooms are ground and mixed into the chocolate, then scored into four even squares so you can portion by the piece.

What you get

Each bar carries 5 grams of Psilocybe cubensis, split across four marked squares at roughly 1.25 grams apiece. The blend pairs Penis Envy, known for its heavier, more introspective character, with Tidal Wave, a strain people reach for when they want a brighter, more visual edge. Together they give the bar a rounded feel rather than a one-note push.

The payload is the same in every Astral Bar across the range. The only thing that changes flavour to flavour is the chocolate itself, so if dark isn’t your thing you can pick from the rest of the psilocybin chocolate bars and get the identical mushroom content.

What it tastes like

Dark chocolate does the most useful job of any flavour here: its bitterness and cocoa depth cover the earthy, slightly bitter taste of ground mushrooms better than sweeter bars do. You still get some of that mushroom background, but the dark chocolate keeps it in the corner instead of the front of your mouth. If you already like a bitter, low-sugar bar, this is the one that tastes most like a normal chocolate.

The experience

Psilocybin usually starts to come on within 20 to 60 minutes and runs for around four to six hours, depending on how much you take, your body, and whether you’ve eaten. Lighter amounts tend toward a warm, social, colour-forward headspace. Larger amounts move into stronger visuals, shifting thoughts, and a more inward trip. The Penis Envy side of this blend tends to make the deeper end feel weightier, so treat this bar with a bit more respect than a milder strain.

How to use it

Eat your square on a fairly empty stomach and give it a full hour before you decide it isn’t working, since the classic mistake is taking more too soon. The scored squares exist so you can start with a portion, see where it takes you, and keep the rest for another day. Chewing the chocolate slowly and holding it in your mouth tends to bring the onset a little sooner than swallowing it fast.

Staying sensible

Set aside a free afternoon or evening, stay somewhere you feel safe, and have water and a bit of food nearby. A calm, trusted person around helps if you’re going in deeper. Skip it if you’re mixing with alcohol or other drugs, and give psychedelics a wide berth if you’re pregnant, on SSRIs or other serotonergic medication, or have a personal or family history of psychosis. Keep the bar sealed, labelled, and well away from kids, pets, and anyone who might mistake it for regular chocolate.

Who it suits

The dark chocolate Astral Bar is a good fit if you want measured, square-by-square dosing and prefer a bitter bar over a sweet one. If you’d rather a softer chocolate, the range covers plenty of ground, and if chocolate isn’t your format at all, the wider psilocybin edibles and shroom gummies shelves carry the same active ingredient in gummies, teas, and drops.
