Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter eight 2/3 cup souffle dishes. Sprinkle with sugar; tap out excess. Bring milk and 1 cup sugar to simmer in heavy large saucepan, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to low. Add chocolate and stir until smooth. Pour into large bowl; let cool 10 minutes.

Using electric mixer, beat whites in another large bowl to soft peaks.

Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. Whisk yolks into chocolate mixture. Whisk 1/4 of whites into chocolate mixture to lighten. Fold in remaining whites. Divide mixture among prepared dishes. Bake until souffles puff, about 16 minutes. Sift powdered sugar over souffles.
