German chocolate makes a great souvenir or gift, first of all, because it is cheap, then, because you can import it to the US. Prices start at DM 0.50 for a bar. Premium brands such as Lindt (DM 2.00 - 4.00) or Merci (ca. DM 3.00) are always a good choice. You may also want to buy some Swiss chocolate, Austrian candy and Belgian chocolate, which are available in most supermarkets and department stores.
