Layers of flaky pastry wrap around a strip of chocolate, so you get crisp edges, soft lamination and a melted centre if it’s still warm. Usually sold as a breakfast pastry, it can be eaten straight from the bag or heated briefly. Compared with Greggs’ other pastry items, this one leans sweet rather than savoury, with a simpler fill than a custard slice or doughnut. It’s the same basic format you’ll find in many bakeries, just with a chocolate centre instead of fruit, cream or jam.
