Baking question...chocolate squares

[RedHedd]

Too much chocolate? Is there such a thing in the universe?

The square you unwrapped that was two squares was .... two squares.

OK, I admit it.....I really need SuPeRvisIoN when baking. I was supposed to melt the semi-sweet and use that for dipping instead of chopping and putting into the dough. No wonder.

But still, the burning question. I present to you Exhibit A.

The wrapped. It looks like 1 square to me.

Exhibit B.

The unwrapped. Could this be 1 square or 2??? RedHedd says 2.

Deb: Thanks for your vote of confidence. This indeed has been a distraction and below is the actual recipe ingredients.

Easiest Every Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti

2 cups flour
1-1/2 tsp. MAGIC Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1-1/2 cups POST SELECTS Cranberry Almond Crunch Cereal
3 squares BAKER'S White Chocolate, chopped
4 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted

Don't worry folks. I'm back to work tomorrow...but tonight I have too much time on my hands.

Chocolate squares are seperated into 1 oz pieces (big ones). Sometimes a recipe doesn't call for a full oz, though, so the indention is there so one can break or cut it in half.

So if a recipe calls for 6 oz of chocolate then you'd put six of the whole squares in to the mix.

Bakers wraps each "square" individually in 1 oz squares, so if they say 3 squares, unwrap 3 packages. Like Wenisrubber said, that is there for ease of cutting if you don't need the whole thing. Most baking squares I have seen come in 1 ounce squares, at least around here, and 1 square=1 ounce.

Slick, I fully understand your confusion after seeing the pictures. They could have said: so many grams! I bet they do it this way to make sure you use "BAKERS" products.

When you've finished your cookies, try my recipe for Chocolade Truffles - you can't go wrong - unless you experiment.

Wish I could be there to enjoy them with you!
