Baking chocolate substitute?

[Darph Bo Bo]

I started to make brownies, but had only 1/2 a square of unsweetened
Baker's in the house. (I think the other resident has found my
stash....)

Is there a method of subbing cocoa powder and in what proportions?
I wanted to run next door to borrow some, but...... was too
embarrassed.

Yes. You have to add some fat like butter or shortening. I can't remember
the exact proportions but if you have Hershey's cocoa it should have the
instructions on the back.
