ELI5: What would actually happen if a Junior Mint fell into an open body cavity during surgery and then sewed back in?

Let's say the seinfeld scenario actually happened.. would it actually hurt the patient in any way?

Assuming the junior mint wasn't sterilized (not sure if one can be), the patient would almost definitely develop sepsis.  If something isn't done about that soon, the patient will die.

If you could actually sterilize one, what would probably happen is the patient would be in pain for some time and not know why.  The junior mint would be melted by body heat pretty quickly, then the various ingredients absorbed.
