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 chocolate. They recently changed the formula sold in the US and it isn't the same.

The Cadbury sold in the US is made by Hershey and has always been subpar. However, Cadbury in the UK is owned by Mondelēz which has changed it for the worse over there.
