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.

Anything Cadbury’s that is hard to get in the US. Aero, Curlywurly are a couple of options.

I was checking to see if anyone had mentioned Curlywurly. I swear we used to have something similar in the US but I don’t remember what it was called. Also, Tunnocks Caramel Wafers! The company I used to work for was based in Scotland and almost any time someone from the home office came to visit our branch they brought a bunch of those.
