From our Japanese friends...

Haven't opened any of it yet, but we're told the stuff in foil is to be eaten with rice. And in the plastic bag are some sort of cucumbers. And then there's Japanese style ramen. Excited to try it.
And then from our friend from Taiwan...

Uh, these little cake-like pastries were amaaaazing. Especially the big round one on the top left. It was kind of flaky with caramel in the middle. I'm told it's called a sun snack (or something like that in Chinese) because the shape resembles a sun. I want to travel to Taiwan for the snacks... and the bubble tea. Someday...
I want to put together some sort of American snack pack for these friends, but have no clue what to put in it. These countries have such unique foods that aren't found anywhere else. Anyone have any suggestions of special little "American" snacks I can share with these friends? I don't have an oven, so baked goods are next to impossible...

Hm...as for packaged snacks, you could do something like Easy Mac? Snickers?
For unbaked snacks, could you do those chocolate no-bake cookies (the kind with oatmeal in them) and/or "puppy chow" (the chocolate chex mix)?
I thought Korea already had most "American" snacks covered like Kit Kats, Oreos, etc. The only unique ones I could think of are Combos, Twizzlers, Cheez-It, Goldfish, Slim-Jim, and Gushers, haha.
I heard you could bake in a rice cooker if you don't have an oven. You can check out Youtube for it.
