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.
