If in a recipe that calls for cocoa melting wafers can I substitute for chocolate chips?
You should be fine doing that. I assume it is for molding chocolate or covering/dipping. If this is the case, you add 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening per 12oz of chocolate chips. This prevents the chocolate from adapting a chalkiness to it, and gives it a nice shiny and professional finish. I do this when making Christmas cookies! ChaCha on!

Chocolate in its most popular form is a sweet treat made from the fermented seeds of the cacao tree. It has been produced in some form in Central and South America since at least 1100 BC. Mesoamerican people used to make drinks from chocolate that were both bitter and hot called xocolatl, a Nahuatl word meaning "bitter water." Chocolate in its before sugar and condensed milk is added is extremely bitter.
