About the Teaspoons to Grams — Chocolate Chips
Chips are irregular, so how they settle changes the cup weight by 10 g or more — a gentle shake makes a real difference. Chip size matters too: mini chips pack far more tightly than standard ones and can add 20 g to the same cup. A standard US bag is 12 oz, about 340 g, or roughly two cups. The figure this page works from is 170 g per US cup, the spooned-and-levelled weight recorded by King Arthur Baking and the USDA food database. Converting teaspoon to gram for chocolate chips, the amounts that come up most often are: 1/2 teaspoon = 1.77 gram; 1 teaspoon = 3.54 gram; 2 teaspoon = 7.08 gram; 3 teaspoon = 10.6 gram; 4 teaspoon = 14.2 gram; 6 teaspoon = 21.3 gram; 8 teaspoon = 28.3 gram; 12 teaspoon = 42.5 gram; 16 teaspoon = 56.7 gram.

The maths behind it
This tool uses gram = teaspoon × 3.5416666667, derived from chocolate chips weighing 170 g per US cup. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
Chips are irregular, so how they settle changes the cup weight by 10 g or more — a gentle shake makes a real difference. Chip size matters too: mini chips pack far more tightly than standard ones and can add 20 g to the same cup.
Where this tool stops
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent.
Frequently asked questions
How many cups is a 12 oz bag of chocolate chips?
Almost exactly two. If a recipe calls for two cups and you have a 12 oz bag, use the whole bag and skip the measuring — that is what the recipe writer had in mind.
Why does a cup of chocolate chips not weigh the same as a cup of water?
Because a cup measures volume and a scale measures weight, and the two only agree for water. Chocolate chips has its own density — 170 g per US cup — so any generic volume converter gives the wrong answer here.
How much does the way I fill the cup matter?
A little, and not in the way you would expect. Chips are irregular, so a cup is mostly determined by how they happen to stack — a shake settles them and adds perhaps 10% to the 170 g here. Chip SIZE matters more: minis pack far denser than chunks for the same cup.
Is a US cup the same as a UK or metric cup?
No. A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml and an old UK cup is 284 ml. These pages use the US cup, because that is what US recipes mean.
