1 1/2 Cups of Chocolate Chips in Grams
1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips weighs 255 grams (about 9 oz), based on 170 g per US cup (level cup). That's the same as 24 tablespoons of chocolate chips. When a recipe's outcome depends on accuracy — especially baking — weigh it instead of measuring by cup.
1 1/2 cups is one full cup plus a half (170 g + 85 g). At this size the fill method starts to matter: the error in each cup is added, not averaged.
