Default American Chocolates?

Hi, I'm due to travel to the UK soon and stumped on what special American Chocolates to buy? I know of Hershey's, but are there any 'good ones' that you don't get in the UK?

Many thanks!

I'm with Sally on this one!

We were once recommended to go to a chocolate factory outside of Las Vegas. The tourists, in their tour buses, were ooh-ing and aah-ing at how special these chocolates were. I was just amazed at the special price of $1-$2 per individual chocolate that was only marginally better than Hershey's - which doesn't take much doing. The cactus garden outside was significantly better than the factory itself.

Thinking about this, it is a bit like taking coals to Newcastle... hope you weren't thinking of taking any cheese too (probably banned by Customs anyway).

Rocky Mountain Chocolate is ok, nothing great, but miles better than Hershey.
