How much is a square of bakers unsweetened chocolate?
 
Could someone please tell me how much a square of bakers unsweetened chocolate weighs? The squares of my baking chocolate are tiny!

The standard size of a square of baking chocolate is one ounce (30 g). They usually come individually wrapped in parchment, and are deeply scored so you can split them in half.

One square (1 oz) unsweetened chocolate has 8.32g carbs and 4.37g fiber .... so 3.95g net carbs.

One square of semi-sweet chocolate has 18.69g carbs and 1.89g fiber ... so 16.8g net carbs

Thanks Doreen
I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my posts in detail.
I was making one of the chocolate protein bar recipes that I found on this forum but I obviously didn't use enough chocolate. Even though I used several squares of the chocolate I cook with it didn't taste chocolately enough. Thanks for the nutritional info as well...I'll be adding that to my little list of miscellaneous facts that I gather on this forum!
I use Lindt 99% cacao (cocoa?) chocolate but there is no nutritional label on the package so I don't know what the carb count is. I just assume it must be low because it is so high in cacao. Have you ever seen it?

BTW nice photograph....
