To ask what would you consider British sweets and snacks?

Posting for traffic.

Travelling to visit non English family in another country soon. DGM loves PG tips tea so I will be taking her some of that. I've been told by a friend in a similar situation that she always takes shortbread as its not widely available in the country yet and it's always well received.

What else is there that I could take with me? My first thought is fudge but struggle to come up with anything else?

Any ideas?
TIA

Tablet is very Scottish but awesome. Crumpets?

Licorice torpedoes. I miss those and always stock up when I visit the UK. Marmite.

Tunnoks teacakes? Scottish but loved in England

Old fashioned English sweets like pear drops and rhubarb and custards?

Everything I can think of (including shortbread) is scottish.

From an Australian perspective, Wispa bars are my fave. Much nicer than Aero or Cadbury Bubbly!

Macaroons and coconut ice

My boss’ Italian MIL loves hotel chocolat.

Any M&S treats! Scones and jam. Fruit cake.

sucky sweets like mint humbugs, lemon sherbets.

Jelly babies, pear drops, scones, angel delight, cherry bakewells/bakewell tart, liqourice, digestive biscuits, jaffa cakes, custard creams.

It depends on the country as to whst is available.
Tunnocks caramel wafers and teacakes. Jaffa cakes. Percy pigs. Yes to shortbread - in a nice tin to make it more like a present?
Crumpets are awesome, and rarely available elsewhere.
My In laws like rich tea biscuits, but that might not make a great present!

Oh, and Mr Kipling stuff.

Basically, go and look in m&S food hall!

Depends on the country, surely?

We can get most things in Australia, for example. Crumpets, shortbread, Marmite, Wispa (for that PP - you can get Wispa in supermarkets), scones, jelly babies, Digestives, jaffa cakes...

Battenbergs and Bakewell tarts.

When I lived abroad, family used to bring me boxes of prawn cocktail crisps as the country I lived in only had 3 flavours. They also used to bring haggis, rowies, tattie scones and ch3ddar cheese.

Oh and wine pastilles are extremely popular with my younger cousins.

Mint humbugs
pear drops
Jaffa cakes
custard creams
chocolate bourbons
Kendal mint cake
Lakeland gingerbread
Cadbury's chocolate

Any Maynard jelly type sweets
Haribo sweets

humbugs
haggis
shortbread
Scones
crumpets

I took a load of British sweets and biscuits to the US recently

These were the most popular
Jaffa Cakes (should have taken twice as many)
Tunnocks Tea Cakes
Tunnocks Wafers

They had:-
Ribena and IrnBru
Jaffa Cakes, Tunnocks Tea Cakes, HobNobs, Jelly Babies, Liquoice Allsorts, different Cadbury chocolate (Crunchies, Twirl, Flake & Double Decker) Kinder Egg.
