Very helpful member
'Common sugary snacks like chocolate, fudge and fresh custard are prohibited items"
See this link a full list for Brits now out the SM & CU.

I would not bother, they have great chocolate products here in Spain, good chance will not be checked, but not worth the hassle.
Note from the list. 'You can travel with bread but not a sandwich, as you cannot bring even a small amount of butter, meat, or cheese that would be included inside it. Fresh fruit, vegetables and cut flowers are also all banned, so you cannot keep an apple or a banana in your pocket as a snack. Cartons of orange or apple juice are also banned for the same reason. Tea bags are OK, because they contain neither meat nor dairy products. Marmite, a vegan spread, can be brought into the EU, but Bovril cannot because it contains beef stock'
"Christmas pudding is banned because it contains suet, which is a meat product"
