chocolate croissant

Cocoa-filled crescent

A chocolate croissant is a crescent-shaped pastry made from laminated dough with chocolate baked inside, typically as a bar or chips running through the center.

The French *pain au chocolat* is rectangular rather than crescent-shaped, but English speakers use chocolate croissant loosely for both: I grabbed a chocolate croissant and a coffee on my way to work.
