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 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.

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.
