Questions
Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of chocolate chips?
1 US cup of chocolate chips is 170 g. In an Australian, UK or NZ metric cup (250 ml) it is 177 g. Weighing is more accurate than measuring by volume.
How many grams is half a cup of chocolate chips?
Half a US cup of chocolate chips is 85 g, and three-quarters of a cup is 128 g.
How many cups is a 12 oz bag of chocolate chips?
Two cups exactly — 340 g. This is why so many American cookie recipes call for two cups of chips: it is one whole bag.
Do chocolate chunks weigh the same as chips?
Roughly, but chunks pack less evenly and leave bigger gaps, so a cup of chunks can be 10–15 g lighter. Weigh them if the recipe is precise.
