can you use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate? will it make any difference
Hello
Huge difference : the taste would be too weak, the dessert to much sugared and the texture of the cake so soft anf flabby that it will not work so use dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa (60%-70%)

Unfortunately for your project, the "fondant" has nothing to do with Lorraine even if you can find it in this region like in any other ones.
If you want to select a true "lorraine" dessert, choose the "madeleine" (English translation is available on this site) or the "baba"

Hello Katie
I am sure sure you are looking for other recipes of snails but if so, there are 11 recipes of snails in French on the site, 1 of which (only) is translated. If you have friends who can translate them for you, it's great. However, I can try to translate a couple of them for you if you are interested (please confirm because I am quite busy these days ; answer anyway because it is great to communicate).
Cheers
