Just make sure you declare it. Everyone in my family brings food from EU to US several times per year (and everyone knows that if you go through AMS you are required to bring back as many stroopwafels as you can carry for... well, me).

Recently my wife had a small box of cookies she'd bought in Frankfurt and didn't think of it any differently than anything else she usually carries with her on TATL flights and it never crossed her mind to declare it. Ended up costing her over an hour extra time in customs and included a lengthy lecture about how they could have prosecuted her. First time any of us has ever had any issue at all with customs.
