Try adding a little visual interest to your next salad or crudité plate. The Chocolate Beauty bell pepper only gets sweeter as it ripens from a basic green to rich, deep brown with sweet flavor to match. These peppers do well in containers, with one plant to a pot. Show these peppers off in salads or sandwiches, or stuff them for stunning effect!
