No, it cannot!
baking chocolate is unsweetened and a hershey bar is sweet and melts at different temperatures.
taste it u will no instantly
i am not sure but I think that its better to bake it because the only good chocolate bar to eat is a take five or or a Hershey bar w/ almonds. But the chocolate you bake is usually unsweetened and has no shuger.
(if you trying to watch those carbs)
No, you cannot substitute candy type chocolate for baking chocolate. Hershey bars have more fat, more sugar, and less pure chocolate. Sorry, you’ll have to make a trip to the supermarket to get the right one.
Baking chocolate has no sugar and less fat (i think?)
Dark chocolate, maybe. But baking chocolate has no sugar added- and that can make a difference in a recipe.
For milk chocolate, I would suggest melting that on top of whatever you’re baking instead of mixing it with the batter.
Umm, If it’s dark chocolate, with over 70% cocoa solids, you should be fine. Make sure it’s good quality chocolate. Often the dark chocolate is actually better chocolate, works the same way. It can also be less sweet.
Good Luck =D
baking chocolate somehow brings out the chocolate tastes better than chocolate bars after cooking. I tried Lindt 85% dark chocolate instead of a Plaistowe 42% cooking chocolate when making brownies and 85% dark choc just tasted like diluted chocolate >.<
