It depends what you mean by ounces. There are fluid ounces which measure volume. One cup is 8 fluid ounces. Ounces is also a measurement of mass. If you are talking about volume (fluid ounces), then 3/4 cup of chocolate equals 6 oz. If you are talking about the mass of the chocolate then you have to determine the density (mass per unit volume) of the chocolate and do some more math.

you will need 16 squares or 2 cups
86 semi-sweet chocolate chips equals 3 squares of semi-sweet baking chocolate.
approximately 2 cups are in a half pound.
1 oz (weight)
There are 84 grams in half a cup of melted chocolate.
If you mean 1 oz squares (ie Baker's), 12 ounces would equal one 12-ounce bag of chips, or about two cups. Nestle's is making baking squares that are only half an ounce, so 12 of those would be 6 ounces of chips, or about one cup.
Generally speaking, a 12-oz bag of chocolate chips is equivalent to about 4 cups of chips, while one square of almond bark (2.5 oz) is equivalent to about 1 cup of chocolate chips. Therefore, assuming a 12-oz bag of chocolate chips, it would take around 4 squares of almond bark to equal the contents of the bag.
just chop/grind squares into small bits... then measure... or use a displacement method... 2 cups chips with air pockets/spaces between probably about 1 1/2 cups solid chocolate when melted. take a full glass of water, pour out 1 1/2 cups, then add chocolate squares till water fills glass to top...
