So, if my receipe calls for four squares of baking chocolate, does that
mean two of the wrapped pieces in the box of Bakers Chocolate that
seems to be in two pieces that are stuck together?

Or does one of those wrapped bits that looks like two pieces equal one
square?

I don't know the answer to the squares - I never figured it out myself, but
once I started using recipes using ounces, it was much easier. I'm thinking
perhaps a very similar recipe calling for ounces instead of squares might be
less confusing.
Good luck.

My first guess is four of the wrapped pieces. That's why I like recipes
that give measurments in weights! But I'd still say four squares is four
squares - four wrapped. By the way - there are no dumb questions. wendy

My Mom has worked with baking chocolate for years. Use four wrapped
squares.

Thanks everyone! No wonder my cookies sucked yesterday, I only used
half the chocolate I needed! Well, I shall try, try again...

Take a close look at the box, 8 ounce box is labeled; "contains 8
individually wrapped 1oz squares"

Use 4 of the wrapped squares.

That would be helpful advice to an American. However, in Canada, no box
is labelled with the number of ounces. We use metric. The number of
grams wouldn't help much in this case.

Plus, I buy my chocolate at a bulk store. Environmentally friendly, no
packaging.

You asked about "wrapped pieces in the box of Bakers Chocolate"
Here in the USA Bakers is a Brand of chocolate, it comes in 8 oz boxes
(226g) . The Nutrition facts lists 1/2 square as 14g .

If your chocolate isn't wrapped and doesn't come in a box I don't understand
why you asked...

Well, don't worry about it. I already got my answer, will know better
next time.

In that case, if your recipe calls for 4 squares of baking chocolate,
convert 4 ounces into metric weight and measure accordingly.
