Has anyone ever brought home baked cookies or candy across the border? I am going to Florida in 3 weeks to meet my in-laws for the first time and want to bring some peanut brittle and some greek cookies for them. They will be in a candy box with a clear window and a ribbon around the box. Do you think I'll have any problems bringing them over?


Thanks

As long as they are for your own consumption or a gift, then you should be okay. We took peanut butter sandwiches over the border for our drive to Myrtle Beach...the cooler was sitting right there, and the kids were munching on fruit right in front of the border guard - he didn't tell us to hand anything over!

Hope your in-laws enjoy your goodies!

You should have no problem. I live about 60 miles from the border and go up there frequently. They are usually mainly concerned with bring over fruit, alcohol, cigarettes etc. Even if your car is flagged for inspection you shold be fine.
