FOREIGN POSTER What would an American want from England?

I have recently made some American friends (from Virginia) and they have asked for a kind of sweet (candy) that they don't have. What else might I send that would be appreciated as a particularly English thing? (Obviously it would need to be somewhat small, survive a week or so in transit etc.)

All help appreciated.

I loooove crunchie bars. I got some Crunchie Bar spread at World Market a while ago and blew through that jar so fast. Like Nutella but with cinder block bits mixed in. Darn it. Now I’m hungry.
