Can dark chocolate be used in place of white chocolate for baking?!
there is a short article in:
White Chocolate - Wikipedia
http://www.en.wikipedia.com/wiki/White_C...
and one on dark chocolate with tons of references and articles to read

Answers: White chocolate is a relatively new ingredient in cuisine ..... I would not try to substitute it unless it is suggested by the recipe writer ... it is made quite differently from the dark chocolate, the primary difference being that it is made mainly from the cocoa butter which is just a part of the cocoa bean, while the regular chocolate uses both, but in differing amounts, depending upon the manufacturer

Chocolate is chocolate.
Dark and white chocolate aren't the same thing but neither will affect the outcome of the recipie. In other words yes.
I don't believe so unless you wanted to make an icing. It is because white chocolate has a lot more fat and sugar content in it and less of the cacao bean while dark chocolate on the other hand has a lot of it with very little fat and little sugar. But you could try and put something into it so it would have a slightly higher fat content like whole milk or cream.
honestly, it depends on the recipe. sometimes you can, sometimes you cant. what are you planning on making?
i think that it would be OK however i don't think it will taste the same
No, you cannot just substitute. "White chocolate" is not chocolate. Sugar and fat contents are different as well. When using chocolate always use the best you can find and afford. Always use the higest cocoa content you can get. In my restaurant I use Callibeau frequently as well as Valhronna--sometimes I try lesser known artisnal chocolate.
The chocolate desert, while requiring sugar, should be about the chocolate as opposed to the sweetness.
Try a simple chocolate desert such as pot de creme au chocolate using a very good chocolate and you will begin to taste and feel the difference.
Hope this helps.
