What UK treats can I send to The USA

I have a friend in Pennsylvania who has never left the USA and I'd love to send her a small parcel of treats and snacks that we get over here that they don't have in The USA.

So far I can think of:

Dairy milk bars
marmite
salt and vinegar crisps
kinder eggs (although they are banned in the USA so I'm not sure if id be allowed?)

maybe a keyring with the union jack on or something?

any suggestions?

My American relatives always stocked up on crunchie bars when in the UK!

Mini kinder bars instead of eggs if you are worried?

In addition to what others have put:
Yorkshire Tea biscuit or toast and jam flavour.
Potato cakes.
Custard creams and Bourbon's.
None food, how about a British tea towel like a London one or Union Jack.

My DD lives in the States, and her friends always ask her to take back Colman's mustard and Jaffa cakes.
Her boyfriend came over with her in August and he was very taken with all of our chocolate, especially Yorkie bars.
Previous boyfriend, who studied in London for 6 months, was amazed at the number of different varieties of crisps we have.

Beware of postage cost and possible other duties @krisgar and make sure you are allowed to send those kind of items into the USA.

There is a company called The British Corner Shop who do deliveries to the USA, their site will have only the things allowed into the USA, not cheap though so may not be an option for you to arrange a package through them.

Mars bars.
Pringles.
Advent calendar with chocs in.
Thornton treacle toffee.
After Eights.
Stick of rock if you're by the coast
A local delicacy (Here in the Black Country, something like pork scratchings)

Don't send KEs they could get fined and they won't be allowed in.
