Can I substitute simi-sweet baking chocolate for semi-sweet chips? How many squares equal a 6oz or 12oz bag? Do I need to add sugar or anything else to the baking chocolate?
Thanks in advance for any info on the subject. I have several pounds of baking chocolate that I would like to use.

Hi Vickie,

The quick answer is:
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped, can be substituted for 1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips. I'll post more info in a message following this one.
