Untoasted bread, cold butter, and sweet candy sprinkles. That's a no, no and no. I'd rather eat Hawaiian Pizza. 🤦‍♂️

It's high cocoa low sugar much much less wax, so probably not very sweet and more like bakers chocolate then a candy. I don't think it's very common knowledge but dessert sprinkles are basically just a frosted wax ball.
