carbonating in the bottle with chocolate?

[Brewfawx]

Ive got a chocolate and peppers stout that is just about ready to bottle, and when I tasted it last, I found the chocolate flavor lacking. Since I plan on carbonating in the bottle, is it possible to use some sort of chocolate chip to provide the sugars and or bump up the chocolate flavor a little? would I use milk chocolate, or some sort of baking cocoa?

Chocolate syrup

Chocolate syrup

Does that work well? Do I need corn sugar as well, or will that provide the right amount of sugar?

Look at the sugar content to see how much you'd need to add based on your favorite priming calculator.

FYI here's an article.

Ooo. That sounds like a good idea. I’ll try that next time

You could also make a vodka/cacao nib tincture and does that (along with your priming sugar). I don’t believe the nibs have any sugar to worry about.
