About measuring chocolate chips
Chocolate chips are small, uniform and dense, so they settle closely and one US cup weighs about 170 grams, or six ounces. Standard US bags are twelve ounces, which is close to two cups, a handy thing to know when a recipe measures in cups. Because the chips pack fairly consistently, they are easier to measure by volume than most add-ins, but weighing still helps when a recipe demands a precise chocolate to dough ratio.
A standard 12 oz bag of chocolate chips is about two cups, or roughly 340 grams.
