My son picked a recipe for Mexican ribbon cake that calls for "1 envelope no-melt unsweetened chocolate" Can anyone tell me what this is please? I think it probably is just cocoa powder, but don't know how much that means it would be. Thanks for any ideas!

Bitter chocolate, often referred to as unsweetened or baking or cooking chocolate, is made without sugar, as its name implies. It is sold in cakes of eight ounces each of which are in turn, for convenience, marked off in eight one-ounce squares. It is also sold in a semiliquid form in sealed one-ounce envelopes as no-melt chocolate, or by trade name

Thank you! I will look for the solid form as well then, if it is cheaper. Should be easy to melt it in the microwave.

No, it isn't cocoa powder. You will find it in the baking section near the regular unsweetened chocolate squares (which need to be melted).
