Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Butter eight 3/4-cup souffle dishes. Coat souffle dishes with sugar. Arrange souffle dishes on heavy large baking sheet.

Using electric mixer, beat egg yolks, whole eggs, and sugar in large bowl until pale, thick, and tripled in volume, about 6 minutes. Fold 1/3 of egg mixture into lukewarm chocolate mixture to lighten. Gently fold chocolate mixture into remaining egg mixture. Spoon into prepared dishes, dividing equally. Smooth tops.
