It's usually not such a good idea to do that with any recipe as, with cocoa obviously drier than chocolate, there's a good chance it'll ruin the cookies (from wrong proportions of wet and dry ingredients). (:

actually I've heard it is probably best you do not substitute and liquid for a powder because it can turn baked stuff super moist when baking but if you were trying to make a cup of chocolate milk or something like that you would use 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder for chocolate milk but if you are just trying to substitute the two you can't because one is a liquid and the other is not the same consistency hope i helped! good luck!

you will need 16 squares or 2 cups

Yes, but milk chocolate is better. : )

1 square =1 ounce = 1/3 cup chocolate chips

2 squares = 2 ounces = 2/3 cup

3 squares = 3 ounces = 1 cup

Caution with the above answer: I am holding a package of Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips. On the package it says 2 cups and net weight is 12 oz. So obviously a cup is not 3 oz, but 6 oz. If you use 3 oz for a cup you will be short changed.

2 oz = 1/3 cup

4 oz = 2/3 cup

6 oz = 1 cup

It depends on what you are substituting it for.

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.

If you mean the packages of cocoa that is made for hot chocolate, no. If you mean the brown cocoa powder made by Hershey's, yes. You have to add more sugar because it's very bitter.

Powdered milk plus vanilla is closest equivalent of unsweetened cocoa powder. Those are the flavoring agents in white chocolate; the other ingredients give it the chocolate like texture. However, powdered milk will probably alter the texture of your recipe more than cacao powder will, so it may be a better idea to simply use vanilla. To get some other ideas look at the ingredients in a white chocolate cocoa mix.

12 ounces of Chocolate Chips equal 12 squares of baking chocolate.

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.

One square of baking chocolate usually equals one ounce. Check the packaging to be sure, especially if the chocolate is not made in the USA. A recipe that asks for two squares of bakers chocolate generally means two ounces of chocolate. Remember that baking chocolate is most often unsweetened, so you should not substitute milk chocolate or semisweet because these chocolates already have sugar added.

20 mg / oz - http://coffeetea.about.com/library/blcaffeine.htm While the above referenced content of caffeine may be common in commercially processed chocolate, it is not always so. The caffeine content of chocolate has been the subject of much debate -- and conflicting research from the scientific community. Some data sugests that there is caffeine content in the cocoa bean, though the International Cocoa Organization states that the caffeine content is very low. Other data suggests that there is no caffeine in cocoa, and that any caffeine present has been added by manufacturers. It's also interesting to note that some data suggests that the caffeine only resides in the fiber and husk that surround the cocoa bean. In that case, if the beans are properly cleaned, there should be virtually NO caffeine in the resulting chocolate product. - http://www.thefivereasons.com/

Yes it's sweeter and I like it better.

Well if its calling for a BAR then i would use the whole bar.

so we can have hot cocoa when it snows, to have chocolate to make smores, and last but not least so you can put some in your mouth then put it where your arm bends and take a pic to send to your friends. ps it looks like an a** with crap on it

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.)

Yes. However, you probably won't find very high quality baking chocolate. It shoudl work to get you by!

6 ounces of chocolate chips = 1/3 cup = 1 baking chocolate square

no
