It sweet much melts in your mouth

Chocolate and mushrooms. The combination doesn’t immediately ring factual, like old-school blends of the elixir with mints, peanut butter or hot pepper. But lately, amid a whirlwind of experimentation in which pioneering chocolates are successfully marrying the polygamous partner with bacon and cheese, the earthy offerings of fungi are also proving to be a perfect match.

Chocolate is also said to be effective at masking the funky feel of magic mushrooms -making a psychedelic trip a yummy one, too.

Of course, there is another kind of truffle: the tuber belongs to the mushroom family. And it is possible, although unusual, to find truffle-truffles.

Unlike the differences between, say, a Caramilk and a KitKat, the highs and lows that comes with these experiments are as strong as the tastes.
