Chocolate chips are small drops of sweetened chocolate that hold their shape when baked, used in cookies, muffins, and pancakes. One metric cup (250 ml) of chocolate chips weighs around 180 grams or 6.35 ounces. When a recipe lists chocolate chips in cups but you only have scales, converting by weight keeps the chocolate ratio right.

Chip size and how tightly they settle change how many fit in a cup, so weighing in grams is more reliable than scooping. This page converts chocolate chips between grams, cups, tablespoons, and more for any recipe.

Cocoa powder is unsweetened and dry, while chocolate chips are sweetened solid chocolate. Cocoa powder packs far lighter (100 g vs 180 g per cup), so the two are not interchangeable by volume or flavour; use cocoa for deep chocolate colour, chips for melty pockets. See our Cocoa Powder converter.
