∙ 12y agoNo you can not! Bittersweet chocolate is not unsweetened chocolate is it? The reason you can't substitute it is because if a recipe asks for "unsweetened" chocolate and you used bittersweet chocolate it would taste totally different because the recipe is made for unsweetened chocolate to accent the other ingredient's flavors.
