Christmas is a time full of traditions and among them are Christmas foods. In this article, we're going to teach you a homemade chocolate recipe for you to delight the family. But first of all, let's find out a little about the history of the panettone.

First, the panettone, from which the chocotone originates, is an Italian recipe, from the city of Milan, created by a baker named Toni. To solve a flaw in a dinner, due to carelessness, he ended up creating this delicacy that won the appreciation of the whole world. However, initially, the panettone was called Pani di Toni, which translates as “Toni bread”.

A curiosity lies in its shape, as the dome it resembles represents the blessings of the Holy Church!

In Brazil, however, he became known after World War II, as the Italians brought him, due to their habits. An Italian named Carlos Bauducco realized the market niche that would be built there and started to sell it in Brazil in 1948.

Like other Christmas foods, there are currently several variations of this bread. There are countless types of sweet fillings or savory fillings, with chocolate drops, with fruits, pepperoni, as well as a huge variety of flavors.
