A little more effort to inject a dash of evil, frisson of adventure

As the name suggests, this is where chocoholics should go to get a fix. Or those who are on strict diet when they want to be unfaithful to sprouts and lettuce. Conceptually therefore it is wickedly delicious. In practice though a little more effort to inject a dash of evil and a frisson of adventure might go a long way.
We started ambitious and decided to try out a sweet pizza and the highly recommended Spanish churros with a chocolate dip.

Please rephrase the meaning of the highlighted in a simpler way.
Though I know "to inject" means "to introduce", "a dash of" means "a small amount of evil" and "frisson of adventure" means "a sudden feeling of adventure", but overall I cannot understand the sentence.
