Chocolate chunks vs chips
Chocolate chunks weigh about 170 g per cup — the same as chips — so they swap 1:1 by weight or volume. The difference is in the bake: chunks are bigger and usually skip the stabilizers that help chips keep their shape, so they melt into broad, gooey pools.
You can make your own by chopping a baking bar into roughly ½-inch pieces; a cup of chopped chocolate is also about 170 g.
