Thank you soooooo much Janet!
 
You're welcome! :) Enjoy!Just for information - 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces, but when dealing with a 12 oz. bag of chips, there are actually about 2 cups. It's a whole weight vs. liquid thing. :)
 
Hi Danielle!The general rule of thumb is that a 12-ounce bag of chocolate chips contains about 2 cups. So if you bought your chips in bulk, you can measure out 2 cups to use in the recipe. Hope that helps and happy cooking! Let me know how your 2 step fudge turns out.Best,
