How to measure toffee bits
The chart entry is “Toffee chunks, 1 cup = 5 1/2 oz = 156 g”, and the chart gives the same 156 grams for caramel bits made from chopped toffee bars, so both forms convert alike. They weigh less per cup than chocolate chips at 170 grams or mini chips at 177 grams. Level the cup without pressing. Half a cup is 78 grams, a quarter cup 39 grams and a tablespoon about 9.8 grams. 8 ounces, 227 grams, is about 1.46 cups, so a scant 1 1/2 cups.
Sources: 156 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Toffee chunks, 1 cup = 5 1/2 oz = 156 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
