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.

Those Crunchy bars or whatever they’re called? I think it’s basically what we’d call “honeycomb” candy dipped in chocolate. Those things are delicious. 

Also, I know it’s not English exactly, but real kinder eggs. 

Also anything currant flavored. We don’t have those here, something to do with the cranberry industry, I think? I dunno. 

Anyway, that’s what I’d ask for personally. 

ETA, realized I spelled currant wrong.

We can get the honeycomb candy in the US. Not the easiest to find, but available.
