These chocolate loaves’ are usually filled with tiny specially made bars of plain chocolate called batons boulangers (bakers’ sticks). You can order those online, or you can buy two 100g bars of premium plain dark chocolate, let it soften at room temperature, and cut it into 2cm strips using a thin sharp knife run under hot water and wiped between cuts.
