How many grams are in a cup of chocolate chips?

A cup of chocolate chips weighs about 170 grams, which is roughly 6 ounces. This matches the Nestle Toll House package conversion (a 12 oz bag equals 2 cups) and the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart.

How many grams are in a tablespoon of chocolate chips?

Since there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, one tablespoon of chocolate chips weighs about 10.6 grams using the same 170 g/cup density.

Does this figure apply to mini chocolate chips or chunks?

This figure is for standard-size semi-sweet chocolate chips, which is the most common form sold in US grocery stores. Mini chips pack more tightly and can weigh slightly more per cup, while large chunks can weigh slightly less.

Does the type of chocolate chip change the weight?

Semi-sweet, milk, dark, and white chocolate chips are close enough in size and density that 170 g per cup is a reliable estimate across all common types.

Is this a US cup or a metric cup?

This tool uses the US cup (236.6 ml). A metric cup (250 ml) would give a slightly higher gram result.
