How to measure chocolate chips

Chocolate chips settle with gaps between them, so weight is far more reliable than volume.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure chocolate chips is with a digital kitchen scale. If you are working from cups, keep your technique consistent every time so your results are repeatable. For more, see our guide on baking by weight versus volume.

Chopped chocolate melts and pools rather than holding chip shape, so you'll get streaks rather than discrete pieces. Many bakers actively prefer this.

Chocolate chips conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of chocolate chips weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Chocolate chips is less dense than water (170 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
