So just pack the Chocolate and don't worry about it. It's things like meat and meat products (mainly beef), some fruits also. We had bananas and they were allowed, but they had taken oranges from some other people. I think it is things that they grow themselves that they are more concerned about. Enjoy your trip.
heathfield, as an American (living in Cardiff) I can personally say that UK Cadbury's chocolates ROCK!!! I can't explain it, but there IS a difference between Cadbury's bought in the US, and Cadbury's bought in the UK..Woohoo!! and to you, dzug-Growing up in the Southwest tip of Arizona, I can tell you fresh fruit/veg/plants and such have been closely scrutinized for as long as I can remember when you leave/enter US. (I grew up in the 60's.) Something to do with bringing in unwanted insect/pests which could be harmful...I believe the UK is the same about stuff like that?

Agree that plant diseases have always been a worry - this is the new threat of bio-terrorism.
