Young ones who want to expand their collection of L.O.L. Surprise dolls and mix-and-match accessories can now do so in a fun way with the L.O.L. Surprise Finders Keepers packs, which feature a doll inside of a milk chocolate candy egg. These special collectible toy packs play off of the way the dolls from L.O.L. Surprise are usually packaged but this time around, with an edible component—in this sense, kids ages three and up are able to enjoy twice as much of a treat during the toy unboxing experience.
The fun surprise-inside toys are reminiscent of the milk chocolate Kinder Surprise eggs, which only recently became legal in the United States as of late last year due to a long-lasting FDA ban on treats with “non-nutritive objects” embedded in them.
