Baker's brand from Kraft General Foods comes is a package of 8 individually wrapped 1-ounce squares. Other brands may vary.
you will need 16 squares or 2 cups
86 semi-sweet chocolate chips equals 3 squares of semi-sweet baking chocolate.
6 ounces of chocolate chips = 1/3 cup = 1 baking chocolate square
24 is not Correct. Who ever that is just being Silly. Baker Squares are 1 oz each. and there is 16 oz in a pound(lb) So you would need 16 Squares of Bakers baking Chocolate to get a pound.\ And there is 32 in 2 pounds
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.
I just found something that says 3 squares equals 86 chocolate chips.... so that would be about 29 chocolate chips for 1 square!!! Happy Baking!
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.
A square of chocolate is usually much bigger than a chocolate chip. Usually you will need more chocolate chips than squares of baking chocolate.
may the baking sqaures be saved in the freezer if they near their expiry date.Does this reduce quality
Yes, but the taste and texture might be different. Don't mess with perfection!
Yes, but milk chocolate is better. : )
