How can you substitute 4 1 ounce semisweet chocolate squares with chips?

Here's why:

* Weight is the key: The most important thing in a substitution is to keep the weight of the chocolate the same. Since each square is 1 ounce, four squares equal 4 ounces of chocolate.

* Chips are pre-chopped: Chocolate chips are already small, making them easy to melt and incorporate into recipes.

* No need for chopping: You avoid the extra step of chopping chocolate squares into smaller pieces.

Note: If the recipe calls for a specific type of chocolate (e.g., bittersweet or dark), make sure to use chocolate chips of the same type.
