As far as Halloween pranks go, this one should be classified as assault with a deadly weapon.
We're not sure if Mark Sparrow fully intends to commit to his Halloween prank of dipping Brussels sprouts in chocolate to hand out on the night in question but we do know that even considering it is a heinous crime.
It'll soon be Halloween so time to prepare some yummy treats for the neighbourhood kids. Try dipping Brussels sprouts in chocolate for them. pic.twitter.com/HFXGA9vFSV

Twitter has quite rightly taken issue with the 'trick', with extreme prejudice.
I like brussels sprouts but if someone gave me a chocolate covered one I'd go to jail for unleashing unspeakable horrors

Be aware people. The devil is real, and it comes hidden in layers of chocolate.
