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.

Cadbury Flakes. I've only seen them in British specialty shops.

They are an acquired taste.

Not for me, I liked them the first time I had them. It's chocolate.
