Chocolate Cans

Can we substitute chocolate chips with cooking chocolate in recipes?

For example, if the recipe askes for 3 ounces of semi sweet chocolate chips, can we use 3 ounces of semi sweet cooking chocolate or if it asks for unsweetened chocolate chips can we use unsweetened cooking chocolate? I'm asking in the case when you have to melt the chocolate chips, so it's not like the chocolate chips will show. I hope someone helps. Thanks in advance.

If you chop the chocolate to pieces, then you can substitute with cooking chocolate. The idea of the chocolate is just to have small melted pieces in the ready baked recipe. There is not difference between Chocolate chips and Cooking chocolate.
