Snyder's of Hanover pretzels (especially the honey mustard and onion pretzel pieces)
Root Beer (and tell her to mix that and vanilla ice cream together for a float)
Old Bay seasoning (the best topping for fries!)
Louisiana hot sauce (also good on fries if you don't eat meat)
Jelly Belly's (I'm sure they sell 'em in the UK, but it is American)
Girl Scout thin mints cookies
York Peppermint Patties
Maple syrup (I'm sure they have it, but not at the restaurants I ate in)

So i need to really plan out specific things and then see if they make the weight. Anything more will cost me over $50 US (just over £30). So i can't send anything big like a can of pumpkin.
You are in California. Send a pound of nuts and chews from See's. They have a lot of Cadbury over there...(and I have seen Hershey's, but not as often as Cadbury).... I am not fond of Godiva--they leave a taste of shortening on my tongue.....imho, nothing tops See's!

Yep.

Oh, I just thought of something extremely hard, if not impossible to find here - unfortunately, it probably won't last long enough to ship over but: Provolone cheese. I miss it so much.
