Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.
Then reshape into a ball, while kneading a little with your hand.
Stage 5 - ⌛ 10 min.

Stage 6
Divide up all the dough.
Stage 7 - ⌛ 15 min.
Then "roll" the lumps, under your hand, like modelling clay.
Do this for all the dough.

Stage 8
Flatten each ball with your fingers, to form a kind of elongated cake.
Stage 9
Place a stick of chocolate on it.
Stage 10
Roll the dough up around the chocolate.
Stage 11 - ⌛ 45 min.
If necessary, tidy up the ends. The dough should extend barely 1 cm beyond the chocolate, but it should no longer be visible.
Stage 12 - ⌛ 1 hour
Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet, leaving room between them as they will rise and spread during baking. Be sure to place the seam downwards. Cover with a plastic sheet and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

Stage 13 - ⌛ 5 min.
Then, glaze the rolls, and put in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Stage 14 - ⌛ 20 min.
Take out of the oven as soon as they are well coloured. They should not be overcooked, otherwise they will be too dry.
Remarks
If you plan to eat them the following day instead of freshly-baked, I suggest you re-heat them just before serving (about 10 minutes at 100°C or 212°F).
Katia gives us a good tip in case you have no sticks of chocolate: use leftover chocolate truffles.
[Translator's note: since when do chocolate truffles ever last long enough to be leftover?].

Chocolate Chantilly
If we look at the more scientific side of Chantilly cream we can see that it's mainly cream, and cream is a mix of very small droplets of milk fat and water, which is called an emulsion. When we whip this emulsion, we incorporate air into it and so create a mousse or foam. In the end Chantilly is a foaming emulsion.

Triple-Cheese Pumpkin Gratin
The small squash used here is the Japanese chestnut pumpkin or "potimarron". For this gratin, we scrape out the seeds and fill the centre with a mixture of three sorts of cheese and cream, then bake it in the oven until the pumpkin flesh is soft. Served straight from the oven like this, it is good to dive into the gratin with a spoon. January 24th 2016101 K4.1 55 min.

Clarified butter
This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline. June 21th 2017487 K4.2 2 hours 15 min.
