How to measure mini chocolate chips
The chart entry is “Mini chocolate chips, 1 cup = 6 1/4 oz = 177 g”. A cup of mini chips holds slightly more than a cup of regular chips, chocolate chunks or chopped chocolate, which are all 170 grams on the same chart. White chocolate chips are 170 grams too. The gap is about 4 percent, small, but worth knowing if you weigh. A quarter cup is about 44 grams and a third of a cup about 59 grams. Level the scoop.
Sources: 177 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Mini chocolate chips, 1 cup = 6 1/4 oz = 177 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
