French term or phrase: biscuits chocolatés nappés type barquette
This continues the list of quite specific biscuit categories. Searches for "biscuit + barquette" consistently show a similar kind of biscuit, but it is rather difficult to describe it accurately in English.

My unsatisfactory efforts are "pastry-style coated chocolate biscuits" or "chocolate biscuits with central coating".

Our choices are limited by the later "biscuits chocolatés nappés type tartelette" and a category of biscuit which is centrally "fourré".

neutral  Tony M: Except there is some doubt if these biscuits are ever 'coated' — they more usually have a 'filling' (e.g. jam); or are these the ones that have their bottoms dipped in chocolate?/ Yes, but that is biscuits in general, not these specific ones.

  -> Well, according to the following link they may also be partially coated: They may be fully coated or half coated with chocolate. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B978012815...
