decadent use

English to Spanish Other Food & Drink
"Finally a more decadent use for smart card technology. Never mind securing your identity or customizing your biometric signature, the Hershey’s smart card enables you to create and track your customized candy bar."

Esta es una noticia sobre el uso de las tarjetas inteligentes. El uso de la palabra “decadent” para el chocolate es difícil de traducir y no he visto aún una traducción que me convenza.
Quería saber si tienen ustedes una forma de decirlo que dé el sentido que la frase tiene en inglés.

¡Muchas gracias!

What a pity. I will take the first one because it's almost what I chose, I just changed the word "pecaminoso" by "caprichoso", although I thought about it when I read your answer.
"Dulcemente caprichoso" goes well with the tone of this news. Can't say it would go well every time.
Thank you all

No way to share points. You pick the answer that was most useful to you.

How do I do if I selected a combination of two answers? Can I give points to two translators?
