Are British Snacks Available in the USA?
It's one of the most common questions among British expats and UK food lovers living in the United States. Are British snacks available in the USA? The short answer is: not really, not in most American supermarkets. But the good news is that you can order virtually any British snack online and get it delivered directly to your door in the USA through BritishGram.com.
Can You Find British Snacks in American Supermarkets?
While some major American supermarkets and speciality stores carry a handful of British products, the range is almost always limited and the prices are typically much higher than UK retail. You might find a few Cadbury products or a box of PG Tips, but you're unlikely to find your favourite crisps, sweets, energy drinks or the full range of British confectionery you grew up with.
The reality is that most authentic British snack brands simply don't distribute to the US market in any meaningful volume. This is where ordering online from a UK-based store like BritishGram makes all the difference.
🧂 British Crisps in the USA
British crisps are some of the most-missed snacks among expats. Walkers, McCoy's, Hula Hoops and Cheetos UK editions are virtually impossible to find in American stores, yet hugely popular with US customers who've tried them:
- Walkers Cheese and Onion Crisps (6x25g)
- McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak Crisps (Box of 26)
- Cheetos Crunchy Cheese Snacks UK Edition (Box of 30)
- Cheetos Twisted Flamin Hot UK Edition (Case of 30)
🍫 British Chocolate and Sweets in the USA
British chocolate, particularly Cadbury, is available in some US stores but the formulation is often different from the UK version due to local manufacturing. Authentic UK-made Cadbury chocolate, Aero bars and Ribena are another matter entirely:
- Cadbury Dairy Milk UK Edition (Case of 48)
- Aero Milk Chocolate Bar (Case of 24)
- Ribena Blackcurrant Juice Drink (Case of 12)
🍬 British Sweets and Gum in the USA
Many British sweets and gum flavours simply don't exist in the US market. Extra Gum in the UK comes in flavours not sold in America, and Mentos Dragees have a distinct chewiness that sets them apart:
- Extra Peppermint Chewing Gum (Box of 30)
- Extra Strawberry Chewing Gum (Box of 30)
- Mentos Chewy Dragees Mint (Box of 12)

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy British snacks in the USA?
The most convenient and cost-effective way to buy authentic British snacks in the USA is to order online from BritishGram.com. Some specialist British import shops exist in major US cities but typically carry a limited range at higher prices.
Are British crisps the same as American chips?
No. British crisps and American chips are similar in concept but very different in flavour and texture. British crisps tend to be thinner, crunchier and available in a much wider variety of bold flavours not found in the USA.
Is British Cadbury chocolate different from American Cadbury?
Yes. Cadbury chocolate sold in the USA is manufactured locally under licence and has a different recipe to the UK original. It contains less milk fat and has a noticeably different taste. BritishGram stocks authentic UK-made Cadbury chocolate.
Can I order British snacks in bulk to the USA?
Yes, and this is the recommended way to shop on BritishGram. Buying in bulk cases significantly reduces the cost per unit and makes international shipping much more cost-effective.
How long does it take to receive British snacks in the USA?
