Default Removing a chocolate stain on my rear seat?

Any suggestions on how to remove a chocolate stain? Previous owner allowed M & M's to melt on the black leather seat. I've tried a couple different leather cleaners and conditioners. Looks good for about 30 days and then the stain returns. Might be best just to buy a used right side bottom seat. If you know of one for sale, please let me know. Thanks!

Since you are ready to replace anyway, I think I would try a steam machine to take wrinkles off clothes. ( Sorry, the correct word doesn't come to mind)

Simple green and water 50/50. It may take two or three applications, then apply a good leather conditioner.

Not super helpful, but one of my rear seatbacks had stitching come loose. I found one from a junkyard that was in like A+ condition for around $70.

If you can't get it fixed just look for a used seatback.

Pictures?

Is it the chocolate causing the stain or the color(s) from the hard shell.

Try some coconut oil.

Thanks for all the replies. I conditioned the seat just a couple of days ago with some saddle soap that I've been using so the seat currently looks great. If/when it fades again I'll post some pictures. Not sure if the stain was caused by the chocolate or the hard shell. I immediately whiiped it off with a towel which probably made it worse.

Too late to the party, but another method is to freeze the chocolate, which will make it just peel or flick off the leather. Also works with gum. Doesn't work on cloth seats as well, but works great on leather.
