Important Considerations for Chocolate Chips:
The weight of 1 US cup of standard semi-sweet chocolate chips is typically around **170 grams** (approximately 6 ounces).
Mini chocolate chips will pack more densely and weigh more per cup. Larger chunks or wafers will weigh less per cup due to more air space. This chart is for standard-sized chips.
Different types of chocolate (milk, dark, white) may have slightly different densities, but this is a good general guide for semi-sweet.
For critical baking applications, measuring chocolate by weight is the most accurate method. Many bags of chocolate chips are sold by weight (e.g., 12 oz bag).
