Certainly not a guru, but if you look at the zoomed-in PDF
output of your second attempt above:
\item[{\texttt code}]some additional text,
you'll see that only the first letter 'c' is written in
typewriter font, and the rest are bold. This is because
you did not use brackets to group the argument, so it only
passes the first letter it sees.
So if you do use brackets, you'll note that you only get
typewriter font, and not in bold: why is this?
I believe that, http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=bold-extras
explains that Computer Modern fonts do not come with a bold
teletype font. The page offers some solutions for you if you
want this.
This is what I believe is happening anyway, and would be happy
to be corrected by a true guru!
