Kinder Eggs are and have been for quite a while illegal to bring into the US. They will be confiscated if your bag is searched by Customs at your point of entry back into the US. The fact that most people don't get searched and don't have their small number of Kinder Eggs taken from them does not change the legality.
They've been outlawed in the states since the 1930s because of an old act which deems it violates both Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. It outlines that any food with a 'non-nutritive object embedded' is strictly illegal.
They're a favorite amongst kids in Europe but are illegal in the US because they violate the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) prohibition against "non-nutritive objects" contained inside food items. The US does allow the sale of Kinder Joy eggs, where a toy is not encased in the chocolate.
In a nut-or in this case egg-shell, Kinder Eggs are illegal in the states because they break a rule in the 1938 Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Regarded as a “watershed in US food policy” the act was drafted to protect the public from unscrupulous, or sometimes just negligent, manufacturers.
