Brand Variance Example
Baseline on this page: 1 cup dark chocolate (chopped) = 168g. Real-world range can shift by about 6% because fine powders and leaveners settle during storage, changing cup density.
Example for 2 cups: baseline 336g, common range 316g-356g. If your bake is texture-sensitive, start with the lower bound and adjust after a test batch.
