It does not look very good (IMHO), but I've seen worse. :-)

The sweet chocolate refers to a bar (2 bars?) of "Baker's German's Sweet
Chocolate." (notice the extra apostrophe, it is significant) It is a
very specific brand of sweet baking chocolate. I'll bet you could
substitute another 12 ounces of chocolate chips and it wouldn't hurt a
thing. HTH
