Sweet Bell Peppers - Chocolate Beauty The Sweet Bell Pepper Chocolate Beauty, 'Capsicum annuum', is a sweet non-pungent variety that bears unique, deep brown fruit. The medium-large, smooth 3 and 4 inch lobed fruits matures green to a chocolate color and they are tobacco mosaic resistant. Chocolate Beauty is an incredibly delicious sweet pepper, especially when they are mature and fully ripe. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Pinch off early flowers to encourage plant growth. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Blossom pruning will improve fruit size.
