I love that Rachel Khoo uses chocolate chips to decorate the chouquettes, which I think is a lovely alternative to the pearl sugar which is more commonly sold by the French bakeries. Pearl sugar is a popular ingredient used in many baking recipes in Europe. When I'm in Paris, I'll often pop into a boulangerie in the afternoon to pick up some chouquettes. Chouquettes are traditionally topped with pearl sugar, which are essentially small chunks of sugar.

A chouquette is a type of viennoiserie consisting of a small portion of choux pastry sprinkled with pearl sugar and sometimes filled with custard or mousse. A chouquette can also be dipped in chocolate or covered in chocolate chips. Le snack is often nothing more than a buttery financier or a tender madeleine. At home, French children at home are often given a split piece of baguette with a bar of dark chocolate tucked inside to keep them happy until dinner. But my snack of choice is invariably les chouquettes: Cream puffs covered with crunchy nuggets of sugar, then baked until golden-brown.
