ancient rites

What is this about?? Found for 45 cents in the local supermarket
when Pete took me shopping yesterday - poor Bob still laid up -

Is it a reference to exposing unwanted infants on the hillside?
The small pink grotesquerie is tied to a chocolate log. Some
dodgy theology here, probably.

perhaps it's the bebe that's supposed to go in the Kings Cake for Epiphany celebrations?
I know some use other items, but since it's celebrating the Three Kings bringing gifts, the bebe makes more sense.
The cake is cut (the item added when the batter is mixed) and the person who gets the piece with the item is supposed to host the party the next year.

Nice - that would make sense, thank you - but why tied to a chocolate log? Regret to say I have eaten the evidence... delicious
