Why chopped chocolate needs its own conversion
Chopped Chocolate weighs about 170g per cup — in the middle of the density range for common baking ingredients. King Arthur chopped chocolate/chunks = 170 g/cup. Varies with chop size. A cup is a unit of volume, so ingredients this different in density can't share one generic conversion factor — using a single "1 cup = X g" rule for everything will be wrong for at least some of what you cook.
Common measurement mistakes
- Using a generic cup-to-gram factor for every ingredient — chopped chocolate does not weigh the same per cup as most other ingredients.
- Measurement note: King Arthur chopped chocolate/chunks = 170 g/cup. Varies with chop size.
- Confusing weight ounces with fluid ounces when a recipe lists "oz" — they are not interchangeable.
