Semisweet Baking Chocolate: 1 oz = 1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate plus 1 Tbsp sugar Semisweet Chocolate Chips: 1 cup = 6 oz semisweet baking chocolate, chopped Unsweetened baking chocolate: 1 oz = 3 Tbsp baking cocoa plus 1 Tbsp vegetable oil or melted shortening or margarine
ALTERNATIVELY,
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
7 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup fat (butter or oil)
can be substituted for 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate.
(6 oz is about 1 cup chips.)
When you put the chips in, add sugar.
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.
A good substitute for German sweet chocolate in baking recipes is a combination of semi-sweet chocolate and sugar. You can use 1 ounce of semi-sweet chocolate and 1 tablespoon of sugar for every ounce of German sweet chocolate called for in the recipe.
Yes no difference.
Yes, but the taste and texture might be different. Don't mess with perfection!
1 ounce (1 square) unsweetened baking chocolate is equal to 3 ounces or ½ cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. You can substitute it in recipes by decreasing the shortening by 1 tablespoon and decreasing the sugar by ¼ cup. ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder is equal to 3 ounces or ½ cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. You can substitute it in recipes by decreasing the shortening by 1 tablespoon and decreasing the sugar by ¼ cup.
Um... chocolate? lol specifically milk chocolate, if the recipe really does call for Hershey bars and not baking chocolate, which is usually semi-sweet and not as sweet as milk chocolate.
You dont use anything sweet
Semisweet chocolate has sugar in, unsweetened has no sugar.
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.
These are essentially the same thing. You can use them both the same Actually, they bitersweet is NOT the same as unsweetened chocolate. Bittersweet is slightly sweetened. Bittersweet is similar to semi-sweet (think chocolate chips). If you have a recipe calling for unsweetened chocolate and you only have bittersweet, you can add it but remember to DECREASE the amount of sugar you use by one tablespoon per ounce of chocolate.
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.
