Consider the Child Catcher, a Dickensian paedophile abducting children by using confectionery as bate; consider Kojak and his lollipop; consider Dr Who and his jelly babies. In film and literature, chocolate is, more often than not, a symbol for sex. And I’m not just referring to those old Flake adverts. I’m talking about confectionery as a metaphor, a symbol, for sin, for hidden knowledge, the taboo, in both literature and popular culture. Sweet Tooth
