I don't have baker's semi-sweet chocolate and recipe calls for a box with 8 squares. Can I replace with chocolate chips and if so what would be the ratio?
Chocolate – use Chocolate Chips in place of Semi-sweet baking chocolate

Yes, you can use the choco. chips. One square of chocolate is normally one ounce. Half a cup of chocolate chips is usually around three ounces. If you are looking to use 8 squares (8 ounces), you will need about 1 and a quarter cups of the chips (maybe just a tad more).
Some folks may come on and say that the chips are sweeter, less intense in flavour, etc., but when you are in a pinch, you can sub them out just fine. Doubtful you will notice any difference.
