Angry perforated leather chocolate

The other day one of my friends sat on some chocolate on a 50 mile trip in the backseat and I cleaned it off immediately the day of. I noticed the next day there was chocolate in the holes of the perforations. How can I get this crap out?

Toothbrush and some warm Woolite/water (1:10) mix. Wet the toothbrush with the detergent mix and agitate it on a piece of plastic to work up a foamy suds and then gently apply to the leather. You want to avoid getting the leather too wet. Repeat process as needed. Dry leather completely and apply a conditioner or leather protectant.

Woolite is fine but try buying some Lexol (if you need over the counter) or go with leathermasters from Phil at DD if you can wait for it..first use the cleaner with a sponge (for the lexol) get it all lather like..then a nylon brush to scrub....afterwards get a damp terry and wipe..then use the conditioner.

I hate having perforated seats, I usually always get dirt stuck in there, Lexol has worked well for me so far.
