Unfaithful to sprouts and lettuce, conceptually wickedly delicious

Choco-licious!
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.

Please explain to me the highlighted parts.
Though I know "sprouts" and "lettuce" is a kind of plant. "conceptually" means "ideally" and "delicious" means "pleasant".
