Pain au chocolat is a laminated pastry made by enclosing chocolate in layered dough. In American bakery menus, the same family of pastry is often labeled a chocolate croissant.

How it differs from a plain croissant

Both pastries use laminated yeast dough. A plain croissant is rolled into its familiar crescent form, while pain au chocolat is typically rectangular with chocolate inside.
