Do you have any unsweetened chocolate at home?  1 oz would be the equivalent of 1/4 c.

I would probably just go for it.  I think the only difference would probably be in the sweetness.

Well darn, Teneisha...I was hoping you were gonna try it out and give back a report! lol

I'll tell you, I have used semi-sweet baking squares in a pinch when I have been out of dry cocoa powder and every time I have used them the cake has been very good. I would think that chocolate chips and semi-sweet squares would be similar in their composition, so it could be worth a try. Just a thought. =O)
