I got a large amount of unsweetened chocolate as a present, so I
didn't feel like buying semisweet.

I made the brandy-laced brownies from Sharon Moore's 1991 book
"Brownies (Fudgy, Chewy, Nutty, Fruity, Frosted, Cakelike, Crunchy,
Comforting, and - Indisputably Delicious)" and added 1 tb. sugar for
each ounce of chocolate, then a little more, but it still wasn't that
sweet. (Though the sweetened brandy butter frosting/sauce is bound to
compensate for that - I didn't have time to check if it did, but I
will when I get home.) I think I should have added shortening for each
ounce, too.
