Default co co nibs

quick question, im making a chocolate stout. i know that adding co co nibs to the secondary will add chocolate taste and aroma to it. But has anyone added them to the kettle and had results?

i haven't... i'm a big fan of letting the beer sit on the nibs for as long as it's in the keg. sooooo good.

I have added co co nibs to the last 5 min of the boil; really brings out the chocolate aroma and flavor (in a nice way). I also secondary with nibs also with good results.
I wouldn't boil longer than 5 minutes.... it may add too much bitter, they are very strong
