Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.96 ounces of chocolate chips
- Convert ounces to grams: 1.96 × 28.35 = 55.57g
- 1 cup of chocolate chips = 168g
- 55.57g ÷ 168g/cup = 0.33 cups
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 cup varies with the size.
