Yes. Semi-sweet and bittersweet are awfully close, just taste one and see. If you don't like it, leave them out and try something else: raisins, craisins, butterscotch chips, vanilla chips, oatmeal...or nothing.





I prefer the bittersweet chips, myself.Can I substitute bitter-sweet choc. chips for semi-sweet choc. chips for Chocolate Chip cookie recipe?
You won't ruin the recipe, but the chips will have more of a bitter bite to them than semi sweet. If you don't mind darker chocolate, it won't be a big deal.
I also thought they were the same thing. If not, then they are too close in flavor to really tell the difference between the two. Go ahead and use it.
Isn't it the same thing?





Taste them, if they taste almost the same as you're used to, go ahead %26amp; use them.
bitter sweet is not sugared, making a better cake
