The proportion of dark to semi-sweet chocolate is up to you as long as the total equals six ounces. Our daughter likes it on the sweeter side so for her, we do half dark, half semi-sweet. We liked the bitter dark against the sweet crust and whipped topping so for ours, we use more bitter sweet than semi-sweet. Totally up to you.
