This recipe is based on the New York Times Cooking Recipe Bȗche de Noël (as illustrated on YouTube) using products from Raphio Chocolate in Fresno, California. It has a Mexican Chocolate flair.
Note: I realized that I have been inconsistent in my tagging. All Hobbit/Lord of the Rings recipes are now tagged “Lord of the Rings.”

Loosely based on a King Arthur recipe
Panettone is a classic Italian Christmas sweet bread. It has been a dish non grata in our house for years—since I almost choked to death on a dry commercial one on a Christmas long ago. Wife Jan thought that if I made a fresh one I would not have that problem. I had my usual problems with other peoples recipes, the quantities seemed a little off and I changed the dried fruits to those we had/preferred.

While I am sure that our mothers did not invent the original dish, it was a common holiday treat in both of our house growing up. Sweet Medjool dates stuffed with crunchy peanut butter and dusted with powdered sugar says “Christmas” in our house. These are easy to make, but they do not last long—even when there are no children around. Wife Jan, of course, decided to improve on the recipe this year by adding some spice.
