| We had terrific luck with this variety. High yield of brown fruit despite all the green ones we harvested early for taste testing. Once they turned brown they really brought attention to themselves. A nice mild flavor that everyone loved despite being slightly sad they didn\'t actually taste like chocolate! |

| We only had one sweet chocolate pepper to plant in our garden. At first glance, visitors thought something was wrong because of the color. Our one plant only produced a few mature fruits. |
