I don't have any unsweetened baking chocolate but I have cocoa powder is there a formula to convert that for what I need.

The formula is 3 tbsp cocoa powder, 4 tsp sugar, and 1 tbsp butter for every 1 ounce of unsweetened chocolate bar. We havent tested this recipe with this formula so we aren't sure how it will turn out. Good luck!
