Looking for a pepper that's as sweet as chocolate (or maybe just named after it)? Meet Choco - the early bell pepper that's the sweetest thing since grandma's homemade fudge. Bred by the pepper whisperer Elwyn Meader and introduced by the University of New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station in 1965, Choco is a pepper that's been around the block (and around the garden) a few times.

But don't let its age fool you - this pepper still packs a punch in the flavor department. It ripens from green to chocolate on the outside, giving it that irresistible mocha vibe, and when you slice it open, you'll be greeted with brick red flesh that's as sweet as a box of chocolates. And with its thick flesh, you can bet that every bite will be a mouthful of pure bliss.

But the best part? Choco is perfect for gardeners in short season areas. In just 60-85 days from transplant, you'll have a pepper that's so sweet, it'll make you forget all about those boring green peppers that everyone else is growing. So why settle for a plain old pepper when you can have Choco - the pepper that's sweeter than a Valentine's Day card from your sweetheart.
