Usage notes

The word panettone in Portuguese is panetone with a single t.

Usually, panetone and chocotone are treated as two separate desserts. For example, a speaker could ask: "Qual você gosta mais, panetone ou chocotone?" (Which one do you like the most, "panetone" or "chocotone"?) Less often, chocotone is treated as a variety of panetone.
