Plain chocolate Chips same as semi sweet chips I live in the UK and am having trouble obtaining semi-sweet chocolate chips in grocery stores.  Today I spotted De.Oetker (brand) plain chocolate chips.   Would that be the same as semi-sweet, say Nestle' or Hershey's?  Package states Cocoa solids 44% minimum.
Yes, dark chocolate of around 35-60% cocoa is essentially semisweet. Higher cocoa percentages are bittersweet.
