Chocolate bread or chocolatine is a pastry made of laminated yeast dough, identical to that of a croissant, rectangular and rolled around one or more bars of chocolate. According to chocolatier Nicolas Berger, the chocolate bread used to be a small loaf or a piece of baguette filled with a piece of dark chocolate bar given to schoolchildren as a snack. It was later made with croissant-style laminated dough.
