Day Tripper makes three mushroom chocolate bars, and they are among the more straightforward options in a category that often overcomplicates things. No dessert concepts, no unusual bases, no flavor names that need explaining. Milk chocolate, cookies and cream, and a crunch bar.
This review covers what each is, how they differ, and how they compare to the rest of the chocolate we carry.
The Short Version
- Three bars: Milk Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, and Crunch
- Scored into breakable squares
- Third-party lab tested
- Ships via FedEx Express with a cold pack when it is warm out
- Adults 21 and over only
The Three Bars
Milk Chocolate
The plain one, and that is the argument for it. Creamy milk chocolate, scored into 10 squares, with no mix-ins and no flavor concept on top. If you want to know what a Day Tripper bar tastes like without anything else in the way, start here.
Cookies and Cream
White chocolate base with cookie crumble throughout it. The sweetest of the three and the most familiar, which makes it the safe pick if you are buying for someone who has not tried one of these before.
Crunch
Milk chocolate with crispy rice worked through it. The texture is the whole difference here. Crisped rice breaks up what would otherwise be a dense mouthful and keeps a square from coating the way solid chocolate can.
How to Choose
With three bars this close together, it comes down to two questions.
Do you want texture? If yes, Crunch. If you would rather the chocolate be smooth all the way through, Milk Chocolate.
How sweet do you want it? Cookies and Cream is the sweetest by a clear margin, since white chocolate contains more sugar than milk chocolate. Milk Chocolate sits in the middle. There is no dark option in this line, so if you reach for dark chocolate everywhere else, you would be looking at a different brand.
How Day Tripper Compares
Against the rest of our chocolate shelf, Day Tripper's advantage is simplicity. Three bars, all recognizable, nothing that needs a paragraph to explain.
Rize carries the widest range of sizes, from a 5g bar up to the 24g Rize X, and the most flavors. Road Trip runs four flavors, including a dark chocolate orange. Goomz goes a different direction with textured bars like wafers and shortbread.
If you already know you want milk chocolate and you do not want to think about it further, Day Tripper is the shortest path. If you want to compare across brands, the full mushroom chocolates collection has everything in one place.
Shipping Chocolate
Chocolate ships differently from the rest of the catalog, and it is worth knowing before you order.
Chocolate goes out via FedEx Express only, Monday through Thursday, with a cold pack when it is warm out. USPS is not offered at checkout on any order containing chocolate, even if chocolate is one of several items, and FedEx cannot deliver to a PO Box. Orders before 11:00 am PT ship the same business day.
When your bar arrives in warm weather, bring it inside promptly. Extended time in direct heat will still soften chocolate no matter how it shipped.
Storage
Cool, dry, away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep the bar sealed between uses. Break squares at room temperature, since a warm bar bends instead of snapping and a cold one shatters unevenly. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
