It is a pastry of French origin, which, as its name suggests, is composed of bread (pain) and chocolate (chocolat). It is not a baguette in which a bar of chocolate has been put, don't make the confusion. It is baked with the talents of French bakers to obtain a succulent chocolate in a crispy bread.
