How Much Is 200 Grams of Chocolate Chips in Tablespoons?
200 grams of chocolate chips equals 19.05 tbsp. Chocolate chips has a density of 168g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 200 grams of chocolate chips
- 1 cup of chocolate chips = 168g
- 200g ÷ 168g/cup = 1.19 cups × 16 = 19.05 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Chocolate chips weigh 168g per cup. Different chip sizes (mini, standard, jumbo) pack differently, so the weight per measuring spoon varies with the size.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Tablespoon?
Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
