Here's what I found at one source:
For each 1 ounce semisweet chocolate called for in a recipe, use 3 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips OR 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa, plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar plus 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening OR 1/2 ounce unsweetened chocolate plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar; Another source: To substitute for 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, melted, or a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted, use six tablespoons cocoa plus 1/4 cup shortening plus 7 tablespoons sugar. Another source: Substitute for 1 ounce semisweet chocolate: use 3 tablespoons semisweet chocolate pieces or 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate plus 1 tablespoon sugar. So, which would say sounds best? Thank you. Lenona. |

You don't say what > you have on hand to use and what you're using it for....? Agreed. Why do through all of that mix and match when semisweet bar chocolate from a number of manufacturers is available readily? |

You don't say what > you have on hand to use and what you're using it for....? 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. Lenona. |
