That makes much more sense! I'm not that good at french and just learned that word from you lol.

I've never heard them called that so no worries that I'll start!

Chocolatine is a way to say pain au chocolat in southwestern France. Not croissant.

It’s kind of a French private joke, and an eternal war in the country.

If there's one thing that unites all European cultures it's poking fun at one another within a country for local language variations.

That said, chocolatine sounds like a biscuit. But then pain au chocolat is also what they're called outside France.

But pain au chocolat could describe any type of chocolate bread, like a babka, but chocolatine is a name specific to one type of pastry.

Nah, pain au chocolat is specific. Others are called Schokobrot. Hope that helps.
