About this dish
Pain au chocolat, also known as chocolatine in the south-west part of France and in French speaking parts of Canada, couque au chocolat (Flemish: chocoladekoek) in Belgium, or chocolate croissant in many English-speaking countries, is a type of viennoiserie consisting of a cuboid-shaped piece of yeast-leavened laminated viennoiserie dough, similar in texture to a puff pastry, with one or two pieces of dark chocolate in the center. The chocolate usually has a slight bite to the texture. Pain au chocolat is made of the same viennoiserie dough as a croissant. Not to be confused with the croissant, the pain au chocolat differs in its rectangular shape and chocolate filling.
