agree  Bernhard Sulzer: just my thoughts - I trust some native speakers will express their opinion, too; I agree that one should see it as minuet steps (indulgences, one at a time), short and tender/gentle or such, indulging ...delicate (little) pieces :)

enjoy further dainty morsels in triple time


Explanation:
Yes, I know that there is no connection between "trippeln" and "triple time", but a "minuet" was/is a dance in triple time and the two terms sound fortuitously similar!

"dainty morsels" could arguably apply to both pieces or chocolate and pieces of music.
