About National Chocolate Eclair Day
An éclair is an oblong pastry made with choux dough filled with a cream and topped with chocolate icing. The dough, which is the same as that used for profiterole, is typically piped into an oblong shape with a pastry bag and baked until it is crisp and hollow inside.
Source: Wikipedia
The word Eclair comes from the French éclair, meaning "flash of lightning", so named because it is eaten quickly (in a flash).
