Reese's You are able to get them in Germany, but only in miniscule portions.
Hot sauce und Barbecue Sauce nehme ich mir immer mit wenn ich in den USA bin. Ist ja auch Grillsaison
Some Pepperidge farms cookies don't seem to have an equivalent in Germany. And I think real Spam is better than the generic Frühstücksfleisch, but that's probably just a Geschmackssache.
I love peanut butter M&M's. They don't sell those here.
These and Butterfingers!
a friend of mine always requests the current 'hot ones' sauce collection
Marshmallows
Really!? Are they not common in Germany?
They are available in almost every supermarket.
Pop tarts and twinkies, never had latter myself, but Pop Tarts are really expensive here (5€ for 4)
Do they like spicy things? If so, maybe bring some really spicy snack. I've been disappointed by everything from the snack aisle that says "hot" on it and I don't handle spice well at all. I suspect the US has much hotter snacks??
Go to Penny and look for Feuerdrachen (fire dragons). That's the real deal.
My limited research (finding a dedicated fan community on Reddit and reading the posts on there lol) leads me to believe I may not find the "real deal"... But I'll give it a shot anyway, thanks!
(Research because Rewe has something called Feuerdrachen and those suck :/)
Needs to be the Penny house brand, that's the only one with a decent level of spiciness. One of the rare few cases where someone knocked off a discount product.
I went to Penny just now and picked up a bag (the Bravo ones with the Penny logo on the back), but they must've changed the recipe. It's not really hot, tastes like the Rewe ones :/
Edit: I just checked, the Rewe Feuerdrachen and the Penny ones are the same, same ingredients, same manufacturer
Asia Supermarket. Look for wasabi peanuts. Dont thank me yet, they get so addictive and hot you dont smell anything for days.
Unfortunately, I despise horseradish (and wasabi), but thanks for the suggestion anyway :)
Peanutbutter-based stuff (esp. sweets) make for a good pick. Reese's is available in Germany but hard to come by and expensive. And I agree with what several already said: Hot Sauce.
Don't bring chocolate. I have heard from many people, that the American is so vastly inferior to European chocolate, that some described it as tasting like shit.
Have you never tried it? It's definitely worse, though I'd say it's more wax like. Like everything else here, it's made of mostly corn syrup.

Haha, that was unexpected and yet, completely unsurprising. TIL
There's another additive used by Hershey and other manufactorers in the US: butyric acid. It ads a sour taste and unfortunately it reminds people of vomit.
Ranch dressing is a big one, since you can't get hidden valley anywhere!
I always request that one from from family in the US (along with good bbq sauce and hot sauce)
Hot Sauces!
Peanut butter! We just don't have the good stuff here. It's the only present I remember from my father's guest sisters when they visited us.
We get the good stuff from the Netherlands though.
I'd suggest some disgusting shit like canned cheese.
If Scholz brings a Kebap when visiting Erdogan you can bring Bratwurst & Sauerkraut.
No seriously, I think most Germans would like to try other country's versions of our food. But not sure if you're even allowed to import food (or what kind of food exactly) on a flight.
Did he really? How odd.
Damn I mixed him up with Steinmeier. And actually he brought a Berliner Kebap bar owner who brought the Kebap himself. But well
