Chocolate chips have sugar and other ingredients in them. Bakers squares are usually just pure unsweetened chocolate. You could probably substitute but need to adjust sugar in your recepie.
1 oz (weight)
1 1/3 cups semi-sweet cho chips
In cookie recipes, the recipe probably means semi-sweet chocolate chips. Bakers' chocolate, which is usually unsweetened, would be far too bitter. But you have a lot of choices, depending on the taste you want in your cookies. Semi-sweet chocolate chips tend to be the most popular, but you could choose chocolate mint chips, peanut butter, butterscotch, white chocolate chips or chocolate pieces of various sizes, from mini-chips to the larger "chunks."
Generally speaking, a 12-oz bag of chocolate chips is equivalent to about 4 cups of chips, while one square of almond bark (2.5 oz) is equivalent to about 1 cup of chocolate chips. Therefore, assuming a 12-oz bag of chocolate chips, it would take around 4 squares of almond bark to equal the contents of the bag.
Baking chocolate squares are about 1 ounce of chocolate (although some may be smaller 1/2 ounce squares). You can use a food scale to measure out the corresponding amount of chocolate chips - ie 4 ounces of chips for 4 squares. If you don't have a scale I've found that this usually works out to about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.
If you want to convert chocolate chips to chocolate squares, you can roughly estimate that 1 cup of chocolate chips is equivalent to 6 ounces of chocolate squares. Keep in mind that the shape and size of the squares may vary, so it's best to measure by weight for more accurate results.
There is no listing of recognised "bag" size. - Quote your bag size in ounces or gm and I can answer.
Sometimes, but it depends on what materials are being used exactly. If taking out Baking Chocolate squares, you have to use baking Chocolate Chips, not just average chocolate chips or else the recipe will not be correct. Another view: I've found that choc. chips usually substitute pretty well for chocolate squares. Just keep in mind that most chocolate chips are "semi-sweet" while chocolate squares may be "bitter-sweet" or completely "unsweetened." If the recipe calls for unsweetened squares, your product will turn out rather sweeter than the recipe intends. If you look on the chocolate chip package, you may find the equivalent listed.
