Default "British" Chocolate

I am going home for a visit, leaving tomorrow

During a chat with a colleague about the trip, she asked if I can bring back some British chocolate or sweets. The people I work with eat a lot of junk, crisps, chocolate and sweets. They would like something quintessentially British but I am drawing a blank here. Other than some British Cadbury stuff, what else can I bring back?

The one I miss is Toffee Crisp. You get Coffee Crisp here but it's completely different.

Maybe Thorntons choccies, they've been going for ages. You could throw in a bit of their toffee too, although the last time I had some I broke a filling.

Sherbet flying saucers are really nice and you could put a lot of them in your suitcase without going over your luggage allowance.

Never heard of this one? Can a replica be found in the Tesco value range?
