There is no square relevant to tablespoons.
One ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate contains 140 calories. One ounce of milk chocolate contains 150 calories.
Baking chocolate squares are about 1 ounce of chocolate (although some may be smaller 1/2 ounce squares). You can use a food scale to measure out the corresponding amount of chocolate chips - ie 4 ounces of chips for 4 squares. If you don't have a scale I've found that this usually works out to about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.
Depends on the brand - but for Bakers 1 square = 1 ounce.
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.
Not generally -- because there is unsweetened (baking chocolate). The best thing to substitute is cocoa powder and butter/oil/shortening. For each ounce of baking chocolate substitute 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of butter (or oil/shortening).
The exact conversion of commercial powdered cocoa to equal unsweetened chocolate is usually found on the cocoa container.For "Trader Joe's unsweetened Cocoa Powder," the conversion is:3 Tablespoons cocoa powder plus 1 Tablespoon oil = 1 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate.
Baker's brand from Kraft General Foods comes is a package of 8 individually wrapped 1-ounce squares. Other brands may vary.
6 ounces of chocolate chips = 1/3 cup = 1 baking chocolate square
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. Most packages of cocoa will list the correct amounts of cocoa powder and butter to use for a specific amount of unsweetened chocolate. For most brands of cocoa, three tablespoons cocoa powder plus one tablespoon butter = one ounce unsweetened chocolate.
If you mean 1 oz squares (ie Baker's), 12 ounces would equal one 12-ounce bag of chips, or about two cups. Nestle's is making baking squares that are only half an ounce, so 12 of those would be 6 ounces of chips, or about one cup.
