It produces numerous angular fruits measuring 3–5 cm in diameter, which are dark red before turning chocolate brown when fully ripe. The flesh is thick, sweet and fruity. The plant stays compact, reaching around 40–60 cm, making it well suited to growing in pots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e bushy, compact, around 40–60 cm tall\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFruits:\u003c\/strong\u003e miniature, 3–5 cm, angular, chocolate brown\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSowing under cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e February – March\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePlanting out:\u003c\/strong\u003e after May 15–20, in pots or under cover\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e July–October\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, warm, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e challenging – requires warmth to germinate\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eWhat makes this variety stand out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brown, “chocolate” color of the fruits is rare among sweet peppers, and combined with their miniature size, it makes this variety particularly striking. The small fruits also have thick walls, making them meaty and juicy – their flavor is every bit as good as that of larger peppers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts compact growth and high yield make Mini Bell Chocolat a great choice for balconies and patios. However, the full growing cycle takes around 140–180 days from sowing, so give the plants the warmest, sunniest spot possible and protect them from the cold toward the end of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (February – March, under cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow the seeds 2–3 mm deep in light, moist seed-starting mix. Keep the container at a steady temperature of 23–28 °C. Pepper seeds germinate fairly slowly, usually within 8–15 days, so a heat mat is useful. Keep the growing medium slightly moist, and once the seedlings emerge, give them as much light as possible, ideally with supplemental lighting, to prevent them from becoming leggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePricking out:\u003c\/strong\u003e When the seedlings have developed 3–4 true leaves, transplant them individually into pots 8–10 cm in diameter and keep them warm. Harden off the seedlings during the last 7–10 days before planting out by placing them outdoors for a few hours each day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (after May 15–20):\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant the seedlings in a greenhouse, polytunnel or the warmest, most sheltered spot in the garden, spacing them around 50 × 50 cm apart. The soil should be fertile, well-drained and enriched with compost. For container growing, choose a pot with a capacity of at least 5–10 l.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water regularly and moderately, preferably in the morning and without wetting the leaves. Both letting the soil dry out and keeping it constantly wet will reduce fruiting. While the fruits are setting, feed the plants with an organic fertilizer high in potassium. These compact plants usually do not need support, but a short stake can be helpful if they are heavily laden with fruit. At the end of August, pinch out the shoot tips to help the plant focus on ripening the fruits that have already set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe miniature fruits are ideal \u003cstrong\u003eeaten raw\u003c\/strong\u003e as a snack, in \u003cstrong\u003esalads\u003c\/strong\u003e or on vegetable platters.
