Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 84 grams of chocolate chips
- 1 cup of chocolate chips = 168g
- 84g ÷ 168g/cup = 0.5 cups × 48 = 24.00 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
A standard 12 oz bag of chocolate chips is about 2.02 cups. Knowing this helps when a recipe calls for cups but you are working from a bag.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
