Don't use sour cream...
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.
Baking powder and salt.
Chocolate almond bark is layered chocolate with shredded or whole almonds on top. A variation of this is peppermint bark, white and dark chocolate topped with shredded candy canes.
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.
While substituting chocolates can usually be done easily it usually by substituting an unsweetened type chocolate for a sweetened chocolate and adding sugar to make up for the sweetness. If you want to substitute in a sweetened chocolate for an unsweetened you will run into the problem of the extra sweetness.
While I was considering this question, I came up with a pretty good answer. While many people like vanilla ice cream, many others prefer chocolate ice cream.

You can substitute them - but it's really hard to get it right. Baking powder is soda - but with other things added. Baking soda reacts to acidic things (like buttermilk) because it's a base (slightly bitter.) Little hard to explain, but it's really easy. Baking powder is sort of in the middle. It has an acid and a base, and is very neutral. In a cookie recipe, baking soda is used. In a recipe, all the ingredients react together, so if you change one ingredient, you have to change others too, or the quantity. Swapping powder for soda will not get you the right cookies that are supposed to be made from the recipe. So you CAN substitute them, but it's just easier to go and buy some soda.
Eating anything espescially chocolate has been proven to satisfy you for a while and may improve and elevate your mood. I find that chocolate chip ice cream is a miracle drug!
I personally would never use baking soda or baking soda as a substitute for flour because they have different uses. Plus, that much baking soda or baking powder and no flour would leave a horrible taste in your mouth. Baking soda and baking powder are only used to make food rise while cooking and only a small amount of each is needed. While flour is more for adding density and flavour. If you're looking for a substitute for regular wheat flour, I would suggest oat flour, corn flour or soy flour.

They can be stored in a cool, dry place for a while. If they are not going to be eaten for a few hours after initial baking, then they can be stores in a refirgerator.
