OK, this may sound very silly but....

I have a cheesecake recipe I want to try that calls for 4 oz dark chocolate, melted. It gets mixed in with some of the cheesecake batter and then dropped within the cake here and there like spots.

Would I get dark chocolate chips and melt them?

What kind/form of dark choclate do I get?

Thanks for any ideas!

I would use semi-sweet bakers chocolate. Usually found in the baking isle of your local grocery store.

I make cheesecake often and have never used chocolate chips because they have other ingredients added to them and don't always melt nice.

I would use the semi-sweet bakers chocolate, found in boxes in the baking isle, it is usually sold in 8 oz boxes, each oz is individually wrapped in parchment for easy use.

Good Luck The cheesecake sounds yummy!
