    am not a father, but want to get in on the joke. I can’t deduce what brussel sprouts and chocolate have to do with each other…

      the sprouts are a similar size and shape to those chocolates, and theyre hidden under the gold wrappers, meaning the actual chocolate isnt visible from the outside. So, they can remove the chocolate, wrap the wrappers back over the sprouts, and put those back in the package so as to make whoever it is given to think theyre getting chocolate, until they unwrap one.

        It gets worse, melting chocolate over the sprouts, and then adding the nut crumble makes them look exactly the same…

          Even more evil would be to properly fry the sprouts, hence making them tasty. Then coating them with the chocolate camo.

          The downside being that you would need to time it right to prevent the victim from getting stale stuff.

      They’re replacing the chocolates with Brussel sprouts
