saccottini

chocolate-filled pastries or stuffed pasta

Or what the French call pains au chocolat, although the Italians sometimes sprinkle powdered sugar on top.

Saccottini can also be any kind of stuffed pasta. Sometimes they resemble proper little sacks, sometimes they look like messy tortellini. Any filling will do.
