About Chocolate Chips

The bag fact ends arguments: a 12-oz bag of chips is 340 g — exactly two cups of 170 g each. Chopped bar chocolate weighs slightly more per cup (irregular pieces pack tighter) and melts smoother (chips contain stabilizers that resist melting — by design, for cookies that hold their chips). For ganache and sauces, chop a bar; for chocolate-chip cookies, the chip exists for you.
