Quick Tip 'Swapping Chocolates'

Posted by Labels:
If you prefer to bake with an intense variety of dark chocolate (60% to 70% pure cocoa) instead of a milk chocolate or semisweet variety, you should use 25% to 35% less chocolate than your recipe calls for and add 1½ teaspoons more granulated sugar for each ounce of chocolate than the original recipe recommends.
