It was from an internet cooking site, I'll see if I can find something similar.

Do you think you could substitue cooking choc for cocoa powder?? Ive got HEAPS of cocoa powder!

Sounds like an american or canadian recipe, just going by the tin size of "14 oz". And what you call choc drops would be choc chips there.

You can't substitute cocoa powder directly, but would need to add a bit of fat I think, butter probably. ETA: Just looked up in my "joy of cooking" and for each ounce of chocolate you can use 3 tablespoons cocoa plus 1 tablespoon fat.
