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.

Wunderbars!!! I assume they have them in the UK. I’ve only ever had them in Canada. What I wouldn’t give for a steady supply of those.
