Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is a cup of chocolate chips?

What should I know about measuring chocolate chips?
This conversion is for semi-sweet chocolate chips, and chip size and brand affect how densely they pack into a cup — mini chocolate chips typically weigh somewhat more per cup than standard-size chips.
