Conversion cocoa powder to unsweetened chocolate squares???

Cinnabar · 02-12-2004, 11:30 AM

Hey!
I have printed out Sherrie's Decadent Brownies recipe to make some for the hubby, but I fubared & got the unsweetened chocolate baking bar instead of cocoa powder.

Can I still use the baking chocolate? what would the amount be for 9 tbsp of cocoa powder?

Yes, you can use the squares...melted. I'm pretty sure one square is equal to one tablespoon cocoa.

1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate is equal to 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa plus 1 tablespoon butter.

You might want to cut down on any butter in the recipe, to compensate for the added fat in the baking squares.
