As in any of the recipes I post, the quality of the ingredients will make a difference in the taste. I often have left-over chocolate (I know, who has left-over chocolate, but I do), and I like to combine different brands of chocolate and amounts of cacao in this recipe--both in the melted chocolate part of the recipe and in the chunks that are folded in later. Very fun and yummy! You can also substitute brown sugar for white, but you'll have a different cookie!
Happy Bittersweet Chocolate Day!

I ended up making Toffee with mine. I love bittersweet chocolate. The darker the better.
I just posted gooey chocolate pudding cakes, but didn't use bittersweet chocolate. I'll try that next time!
