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
Cocoa (chocolate) powder is not a substitute for chocolate chips.
Bittersweet, semisweet, and dark chocolate make good truffle centers, while cocoa powder, dark chocolate powder, or unsweetened cocoa powder make great outside powder coverings for the truffles.
Yes you can.
You can't unless they are melted. If you need to melt chocolate chips, you need to use cocoa powder, butter and sugar. Every ounce of chocolate can be replaced by 3 TBLS of Cocoa Powder (unsweetened) and 1 TBL of Butter and 3 TBLS of Sugar
Bittersweet chocolate contains more cocoa than sugar. Semisweet chocolate has half as much sugar as cocoa, and is a little sweeter.
Probably somehow but i wouldn't recommend it! i bet it wouldn't taste very good! Hot chocolate mix is very full of sugar, only a small amount of cocoa and is a powder. Semisweet chocolate is a solid and has butter/oil in it and much more cocoa. You'd be better off using cocoa and butter... google substituting cocoa for chocolate for an exact recipe of what to sub.
Yes
It is cocoa beans that have been harvested and roasted and then ground into a very thin, pure powder called cocoa powder. It is almost always unsweetened.
