Panettone and raisins are there, head to head in the dispute for the leadership of Christmas controversies. A lot of people love it, but there are also a lot of people who hate it.
There is the team of defenders of the original recipe, with candied fruit and no inventions, those who melt for the chocotone and the people who really like to smear themselves on the fillings and toppings.
In any case, the fan club is so numerous that no one wants to be left out — bakeries, pastry shops, supermarkets and even restaurants have already rushed to launch their exclusive recipes.
As has been happening in recent years, the key is to stand out through creativity. The 2022 menu has panettone made with guava smudge, pavlova (with red fruits and sigh) and even prosecco.
The price variation is vertiginous. The selection below, which includes 25 options, ranges from the panettone Village, from the bakery Cepam, which cost R$ 14.94, to the chocotone from the confectioner Mariana Junqueira, which costs R$ 328.80.
