I want to bring back chocolates bars and crisps for the children as i am in the UK how do folk manage to keep them from melting ...sorry if it sounds a stupid question thanks guys

I wouldnt worry. I brought chocolate and crisps back and the chocolate has been fine. Crisps got a bit bashed mind you. I would wrap the chocolate though, just in case

Cadbury in the UK have used a synchrotron to determine how to make chocolate that melts at 33.8C (polymorph 5). So as long as you don't take the chocolate through anywhere hotter than that it should remain solid.

But it's worth sticking it in the fridge after arrival.

It should be fine.Dont forget to declare it though.

me as well Im hoping to bring some goodies back from there in August

Good point, both trips I declared the goods, got asked what I had, told them and they waved me away laughing. No probs

I bring so much back every time that I write a list so I don't forget anything I have with me. Everything has been fine so far but you can see the look on the AQIS guy's face....."Oh lord, ANOTHER pom with a pile of food!"

yes but they hav prob never tasted lovely walkers cheese and onion or twiglets, havin our first trip bac in sep only taken us 7yrs !!!! cant wait to fill my suitcase ,

Only thing I ever had a problem with was those Flying Saucers sweets - the ones filled with sherbet. They showed up as white powder and the guy wanted to look at them - I offered him one, but he was too wary to try one although he let them in once he'd seen what they were. Twiglets and Walkers are regular items for them, probably won't bat an eyelid

oooo thats funny those flyin sauscers but u can understand .

i cant believe how dumb i was on our arrival 7yr ago but in my hand luggage [declared] i had a big jar of my lovely homemade pickled eggs !!!!! for a friend thought they would of been ok as pickled but no off they went in bin ,

That is a good idea about the list. Will do that when I bring my stash back in October!

Oh flying suacers love them. Must bring some of them back

I tried to bring some Flakes back to LA one year but they all became liquid

Hi guys

many thanks for all your replies...now loaded with galaxy chocolate bars and walkers prawn cocktail crisps.... happy days for the kids

And probably would not give a shit what it tastes like , you are just another immo importing suspect food products, just like all the Koreans who try and bring in Dog meat .........mm
