I wouldn't I would buy a sweetened bar.
Semisweet baking chocolate: 1 oz = 1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate plus 1 Tbsp sugar Semisweet chocolate chips: 1 cup = 6 oz semisweet baking chocolate, chopped Unsweetened baking chocolate: 1 oz = 3 Tbsp baking cocoa plus 1 Tbsp vegetable oil or melted shortening or margarine ALTERNATIVELY, 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 7 tablespoons sugar 1/4 cup fat (butter or oil) can be substituted for 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate. (6 oz is about 1 cup chips.)
Actually, none. Chocolate powder (whether cocoa powder or drinking chocolate) is not a good substitute for chocolate, because both powders have had the cocoa butter removed. Cocoa butter is a key ingredient in chocolate (it gives chocolate the melting at body temperature quality, which is pretty much the basis of chocolate) - it is a fat, so it adds moistness and enhances the crumbly texture of cakes. Since chocolate powder contains no cocoa butter, the end result (if it is used as a replacement) is that of a very dry and slightly bitter cake.
These are essentially the same thing. You can use them both the same Actually, they bitersweet is NOT the same as unsweetened chocolate. Bittersweet is slightly sweetened. Bittersweet is similar to semi-sweet (think chocolate chips). If you have a recipe calling for unsweetened chocolate and you only have bittersweet, you can add it but remember to DECREASE the amount of sugar you use by one tablespoon per ounce of chocolate.
One square of baking chocolate usually equals one ounce. Check the packaging to be sure, especially if the chocolate is not made in the USA. A recipe that asks for two squares of bakers chocolate generally means two ounces of chocolate. Remember that baking chocolate is most often unsweetened, so you should not substitute milk chocolate or semisweet because these chocolates already have sugar added.
Divide the total weight of the bar by the number of squares, and you'll have your answer !
1 ounce (1 square) unsweetened baking chocolate is equal to 3 ounces or ½ cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. You can substitute it in recipes by decreasing the shortening by 1 tablespoon and decreasing the sugar by ¼ cup. ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder is equal to 3 ounces or ½ cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. You can substitute it in recipes by decreasing the shortening by 1 tablespoon and decreasing the sugar by ¼ cup.
Substitution for 1 ounce (30 grams) unsweetened chocolate: 3 tablespoons (18 grams) unsweetened natural cocoa powder plus 1 tablespoon (17 grams) unsalted butter or shortening
The label says each square is equal to 1/2 ounce.
