AMERICAN SNACKS YOU CANT GET IN THE UK
CHEEZ-ITS...you can occasionally buy a box on Amazon prime for big bucks if you can't wait till the trip to the USA.
Girl Scout Cookies
Pepperidge Farm Gold Fish
Pepperidge Farm Cookies (Milano are the best)
Cheetos Crunchy (Original)
Fritos – Corn chips, bean dip, and queso aren't a thing in the UK. 😫
Pretzel Bites – There aren't very many options for pretzels in the UK and they're tricky to find.
Saltines
Oyster Crackers
Little Debbie Snacks – I'm fairly certain Brits would absolutely love Oatmeal Cream Pies as much as Americans do.
Hostess Snacks – Ding Dongs, Chocolate Cupcakes...
Drakes – Devil Dogs, Yodels...
Entenmann's little bites – Party cakes, Blueberry, and chocolate chip muffins!
Graham Crackers
Teddy Grahams
Triscuits
Wheat Thins
Cliff Bars
Pirates Booty – Occasionally available on Amazon but at insane prices like this one here.
Jiffy Pop – Honestly, this is one snack that surprises me the Brits haven't imported. Perfect for quintessentially British road trips, glamping, camping, or RV-ing.
Chex Mix
Many many cereals that Americans typically like to use for snacks, such as Honey Nut Cheerios, Kix, Frosted Mini-Wheats...
Sunflower Seeds
Normal BBQ chips...any brand will do
Trader Joe's everything but especially the little almond packs mixed with dried cranberries and dark chocolate chunks.
Fig Newtons
Nutter Butters
Keebler brand snacks
Whoopie Pies – Only New Englanders likely relate to this – and Oprah Winfrey. Her favorite are these Wicked ones. This is a top-up every time! But you can make them in the UK while in-between visits with one of these whoopie molds and a melon scoop.
And even though I don't like to admit it, snacks sometimes take the form of candy. So occasionally, these make the American shopping list, too. 👇🏻
American Candy Not Available In UK
Any grape-flavored candy can be added to the American shopping list. Most British candy and even medicine that is purple in color is typically black currant flavor in the UK. 😜
Certain candy is available in the UK during holidays, such as candy canes and peeps. But if you know you can't handle the holidays without these items, now is the time to ask a favor from an American friend or be sure to stock up prior to going to England.
For non-grape related products, other American candy not available in UK includes the following:
Peppermint Patty
100 Grand
Junior Mints
Milky Way – The British Milky Way and American Milky Way are not the same.
Baby Ruth
Charleston Chew
Butterfinger
Twizzlers
Grape Skittles – The purple skittles in the UK are blackcurrant.
Peanut Butter M&Ms – Though many M&M flavors are available in the UK, peanut butter ones are hard to find and expensive when you do.
Fun Dip
Whoppers
Milk Duds
Sugar Daddy
Hershey Kisses – All flavors of Hershey Kisses are unavailable in the UK.
Gobstoppers
Dum Dums
Conversation Hearts & Necco in general – Valentine's day are typically conversation-less. 🤣
Peeps – This Easter staple is only an American one.
Candy Corn – Halloween in the UK is without this.
Candy Canes – These are tricky to find in the UK, especially the specialty flavored ones.
