About White Chocolate Chips
Pour chips into the cup and level without packing. Mini chips, large drops and chopped bars leave different spaces, so check the format before relying on the cup conversion.
Some products are labelled white baking chips rather than white chocolate. Their ingredients and melting instructions can differ; for a glaze or ganache, choose the product specified instead of judging by colour alone.
Tips for measuring White Chocolate Chips
