Hi Roda, if you'd like to sweet unsweetened chocolate, you'll first want to melt the chopped or grated chocolate slowly over a double-boiler. Once it's smooth and all melted, you can add measure out your sugar, to taste. (We like to use a ratio of about 2 tablespoons of sugar per ounce of unsweetened chocolate.) You can add the sugar in small amount, about 1-2 teaspoons at a time and then stir until it dissolves. Repeat until all the sugar is incorporated and the mixture looks smooth. (Beware of grit; this means the sugar hasn't fully melted.) Once the mixture is homogenous, you can let the chocolate cool or proceed with your recipe. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
