How Much Is 15.17 Ounces of Chocolate Chips in Cups?
15.17 ounces of chocolate chips equals 2.56 cups. That's 430.06g, and Chocolate chips has a density of 168g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 15.17 ounces of chocolate chips
- Convert ounces to grams: 15.17 × 28.35 = 430.06g
- 1 cup of chocolate chips = 168g
- 430.06g ÷ 168g/cup = 2.56 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.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
