I have a recipe from maybe the 1950's that calls for 1 pkg semi-sweet chocolate - I seem to remember a smaller bag than what I find in the stores. Might this be 6 ounces it is calling for? The recipe is for a Chocolate Satin Pie.
Best Answer
A "package" of bittersweet or sent-sweet baking chocolate was historically 8 ounces, as eight 1-ounce squares (or 16 half-ounce half-squares).

Can you eat expired semi-sweet chocolate?
Chocolate with higher milk content (like white chocolate or milk chocolate) will go bad quicker than chocolates with lower milk content (like semi-sweet, bittersweet, and dark chocolate). It's generally okay to eat chocolate for months past the expiration date if it's been unopened or stored correctly.How long are semi-sweet chocolate chips good for after opening?
If stored properly, milk chocolate chips will stay fresh for approximately 1 year after opening the bag. Chips with a higher concentration of dark chocolate, 60% or higher, will last longer. If they're carefully stored, semi-sweet, bittersweet or dark chocolate chips will last for up to 2 years.What is the difference between semi-sweet chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips?
A chocolate that is at least 35% chocolate liquor may be called either semisweet or bittersweet, and labeling is left up to the manufacturer. While sometimes semisweet chocolate has more added sugar than bittersweet, there isn't a technical difference (which is why here at BA our recipes will call for either).EASY Semi Sweet Chocolate Ganache Recipe
