The Wonder Ball here in the US used to have little toys or stickers in them but then I guess they passed that law about no non-edible parts inside food. I remember going to the gas station everyday after school with my friends to get candy and I would get those all the time. That was when I was like 10 though. haha

But yeah, you can definitely send food or things like that through personal mail. You could always not tell them exactly what candy or snacks you're sending..

Ha, my mum told me about the Kinder eggs not being allowed across the border, I didn't believe her. I guess it's true then.

You can however buy Kinder chocolate, I just saw a bunch of different Kinder candy in the World Market, we also have a European store you can get them from.

you can take anything to anywhere in the EU, (but not in your hand luggage obviously)and you can take food like biscuits, sweets, manufactured stuff like that that is not meat of plant matter anywhere as far as I know, as long as you declare it on a card. I went to spain recently from the UK on a geography trip, and I had been panicking about this issue for ages, because i wanted to take some biscuits and hot chocolate mix. they don't even look in your bag when you are travelling in the EU. It may seem obvious but no-one told me this...
