The chocolate I bought is beyond Godiva. It has no preservatives, etc etc etc.

I'm buying this as a gift for someone - I'm too cash strapped to buy one for myself to find out what it tastes like!

If I was travelling with someone, I'd be more bold about bringing this past security - if they rejected it, then I could bring it out and give it to my travelmate to check in. But being that I'm going myself, and I have to checkin my suitcase first before going through security... that's no longer an option.

That said, I'll ask the TSA bots manning T8/T9 at JFK first.
