That is usually done by adding sugar, milk, eggs, and other sweetners.
Semisweet chocolate has sugar in, unsweetened has no sugar.
It will be down to personel taste. Try it and report back.
um... sugar. tip: buy sweet chocolate. it's probably cheaper anyways.
Usually, it's melted unsweetened baker's chocolate, mixed with semi-sweet chocolate wafers, and white chocolate wafers. Or with cocoa instead of unsweetened baker's chocolate. Or it's a 3 layer cake - layer per type of chocolate.
You dont use anything sweet
There are a few dozen different kinds of chocolate. The most common and most popular are white, unsweetened, semi-sweet, milk, and dark.
Three tablespoons of cocoa and one tablespoon of shortening is equal to one square of unsweetened chocolate. If your recipe calls for unsweetened chocolate it should work. If it calls for semi sweet or milk chocolate, you would not be able to add enough sugar to sweeten unsweetened chocolate. The end product would be too bitter.
Yes, however the texture and taste will be a little different. Chocolate baking squares are usually unsweetened or a very dark chocolate, while Chocolate Chips are usually semi-sweet or milk chocolate.
Yes. Most of the time, the terms "bittersweet" and "semi-sweet" are used synonymously. Technically, bittersweet does have a higher cacao percentage, but even then the difference shouldn't do much to change a recipe.
bittersweet/dark chocolate is mixed with small amounts of vanilla and sugar. whereas unsweetened chocolate has absolutely no sugar in it therefore bittersweet chocolate is sweeter than unsweetened chocolate.
There isn't much of a difference but semi sweet is less likely to burn and is not as sweet as milk chocolate. Hope this helps!
