A random question: how do you say 'chocolate chips' in Russian? I have to prepare a recipe in Russian for my homework assignment and I can't figure out how to translate that one ingredient.

Маленькие кусочки шоколада. :)

The bits of chocolate or something like corn flakes but with chocolate taste?
The first one would be "кусочки шоколада", while the second is "шоколадные хлопья". Choose what's more applicable for you =).

в Америке так обычно называют кусочки шоколада, не хлопья.

Шоколадная крошка (the singular) or ЛСД (LSD) :-)

A related question: in baking recipes, how do you translate 'cup', as in two cups of chocolate chips?

[sibir-muzhyk.livejournal.com]

I don't know exact volume of "cup" :-(
The term стакан (glass) is used in russian baking recipes.
Один стакан = 250 мл (a quarter of liter).

Печенье с кусочками шоколада

чашка = 0.2 l
стакан = 0.25 l

I guess it's чашка, I see this word in recipe context now&zen.

Chocolate chips is an exotic ingredient in Russian bakery and, therefore, has no common Russian name. It has only descriptive ones like ars_longa said above.
