If the Road Trip gummies are the ultimate high-potency party travel companion, then their chocolate bars are the sophisticated, late-night cruise. At Ethereal Gold Dispensary, we’ve seen the mushroom market explode, but few products manage to bridge the gap between confectionery and consciousness-raising as seamlessly as these bars.
In this Road Trip Mushroom Chocolate Review, we’re breaking down the legendary Desert Stardust blend in bar form, the dosage levels for every type of traveler, and the flavor lineup that actually makes you look forward to your dose.
The Desert Stardust Difference: What’s Inside?
Just like their gummies, the chocolate bars utilize Road Trip’s proprietary Desert Stardust blend. As we’ve discussed before, this isn’t psilocybin. Instead, it’s a carefully protected mix of legal tryptamines, nootropics, and botanical alkaloids.
The experience of the chocolate is often described as slightly smoother than the gummies. Many users report that the fats in the cocoa butter help carry the active ingredients, leading to a more gradual come up and a long, gentle afterglow. It’s a euphoric, visual, and deeply introspective experience that remains federally legal.
The Flavor Lineup: A Human Taste Test
Let’s be honest: most mushroom chocolates have a lingering forest floor aftertaste. Road Trip has clearly put in the work to fix that. The chocolate is high-quality, velvety, and actually enjoyable to eat. Here is how the flavors stack up:
- Milk Chocolate: This is the baseline. It’s smooth, creamy, and exactly what you want if you like a classic, no-nonsense treat. There is almost zero botanical aftertaste here.
- Cookies & Cream: A crowd favorite. The white chocolate base is rich, and the crunchy cookie bits add a great texture that distracts you from the fact that you’re about to go on a cosmic journey.
- Dark Chocolate Orange: For those with a more "mature" palate. The citrus oil is bright and zesty, which pairs beautifully with the bitter notes of the dark chocolate. It feels fancy.
- Strawberry Crunch: This one is a sleeper hit. It’s sweet and fruity with a satisfying crispness. It’s the perfect choice if you want something that feels light and summery.
- Peppermint Bark (Seasonal): The holiday legend. This one features layers of chocolate topped with crushed candy bits. It’s refreshing, cool, and arguably the best at masking the mushroom blend entirely. It’s like a seasonal treat with a very big secret.

The Road Map: Dosing Your Chocolate
Each bar is divided into 8 breakable segments, making it easy to find your perfect altitude. In our Road Trip Mushroom Chocolate Review research, we’ve found this guide is the best way to plan your evening:
- 1/2 Segment (The Microdose): A subtle shift. Great for creativity or just making a movie night feel a little more special.
- 1 Segment (Low Dose): Gentle calm and a mild mood lift. You’ll feel lighter and more connected.
- 2–3 Segments (Moderate): This is the sweet spot for many. Expect noticeable euphoria, brighter colors, and a warm body buzz.
- 4–5 Segments (High Dose): Prepare for visuals. Textures may begin to move, and your thoughts will go deep. Best for a safe, comfortable set and setting.
- 6–8 Segments (The Journey): Full immersion. This is for the experienced explorers seeking a transformative, visual-heavy experience.
Why Authenticity Matters
Just like the gummies, the market is flooded with fake shroom bars. Many of these are just low-quality edibles or contain unknown research chemicals. Every authentic Road Trip bar comes with a scannable NC tag on the package.
At Ethereal Gold Dispensary, we only source directly from the authorized makers. We verify every batch with full-panel lab testing to ensure that the only thing you’re experiencing is the pure, legal Desert Stardust blend — no mystery chemicals allowed.
