TIMES WIRE REPORTS

Ten tons of chocolate bonbons could stuff a lot of stockings, but instead they will be under the lock and key of French customs agents.

The customs service announced that officers at the giant Rungis international market outside Paris seized nearly 33,000 boxes of gold-foil-wrapped morsels, worth an estimated $312,000, on suspicion that they were counterfeit Ferrero Rochers.

The counterfeit sweets are to be destroyed.
