American chocolate is rubbish, and graham crackers are essentially digestive biscuits.

I do like root beer, though. And DH (English) loves the stuff.

Oh, and proper chocolate chips probably are good.

How disappointing I thought there might be soem gems which we could get

I do like jelly beans though, but you can buy them easily here anyway

I think a lot of the American/Canadian stuff that expats go mad for (like kraft dinner) is about nostalgia. The really good stuff (like Reeces, jelly beans) is already here.

Oh, Mountain Dew doesn't suck. And I like Twizzlers (red "liquorice"), but English people don't, in my experience.

There are some lovely American cookies, notably by Pepperidge Farm ... don't see them on this site, though, and I can't remember if you can buy them here.

Honey grahams are lovely, and make good cheesecake bases. The teddies are good for snacks.
Swiss miss is great instant hot choccy, much creamier than instant here.

Oh and goldfish are quite good too - but really nothing on that list is totally amazing.
NQC - Kraft?! Seriously?

I loved that stuff when I was growing up. Haven't had it for years, though.

The first time I saw someone make white sauce, I was really puzzled.

I was raised by wolves, what can I say?
