In cookie recipes, the recipe probably means semi-sweet Chocolate Chips. Bakers' chocolate, which is usually unsweetened, would be far too bitter. But you have a lot of choices, depending on the taste you want in your cookies. Semi-sweet chocolate chips tend to be the most popular, but you could choose chocolate mint chips, peanut butter, butterscotch, white chocolate chips or chocolate pieces of various sizes, from mini-chips to the larger "chunks."
You would need 8/10 of a 1/4 pound chocolate block to = 1 cup of chocolate chips

One delicious dessert recipe that calls for chocolate heavy cream as a key ingredient is chocolate mousse.
Yes
You have two thirds if the required amount.
Depends on what measurements the recipe for the cake calls for.
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.
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.
A an easy raspberry fudge recipe calls for raspberry preserves, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk and some red food coloring.
Since semi-sweet and milk chocolate are very similar, you can interchange one for the other in most any recipe. Simply use the same amount that is called for in the recipe, just with the different type of chocolate and it should be fine. For example, if the recipe calls for 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, instead just use 8 ounces of milk chocolate chips.
