Why measuring chocolate chips by cup goes wrong
A cup of standard semi-sweet chocolate chips weighs 170 grams. Mini chips pack tighter (about 180 g/cup). Chunks are heavier and less consistent — chopping a bar gives you variable shard sizes and a cup can range from 160 to 195 grams.
Practical tips for working with chocolate chips
Chocolate chips are formulated with stabilizers that help them hold their shape in the oven. That's why a chocolate chip looks like a chocolate chip after baking. If you want pools of melted chocolate in a cookie, use chopped chocolate bar instead — couverture chocolate (60–70 percent cacao) melts smoothly and flows into pockets you actually want to bite into.
Note from this ingredient's record: Semi-sweet, standard size. Mini chips pack tighter and run closer to 180 g per cup.
