Marmite. Chocolate. The United States.

Where in the US can I buy the Very Peculiar Marmite Chocolate Bar?

I'm getting a late start on this, but I'd like to get a few Very Peculiar Marmite Chocolate Bars for my SO for Valentine's Day. Does anyone know of anyone selling them in the US who can get them to me by 2/13?

I've already called everyone recommended in this thread. Help me, Anglophiles (and real Brits) of the hivemind!

Perhaps NYC's Myers of Keswick (yelp) might have it, or at least have some ideas for you?

Best answer: You could try the London Candy Co, also located in Manhattan.

The British Shoppe in Orlando could be worth a call.

Response by poster: From the London Candy Company:

"Thanks for your enquiry. I have seen this bar in London and we enquired to stock this item but the Licensing agreement is only for the UK."

Response by poster: Apparently, it cannot be shipped by Amazon UK, either, due to licensing restriction - UK Mefites, would any of you like to work out a deal?

Best answer: sure, I could do that. memail me.

I would so come in on a deal for this. Any mileage in more US Mefites splitting the cost?

Oh, I would also very much appreciate being able to get a couple of these bars. Are you guys interested in a bulk buy?

I would buy a pack! What better way than Marmite to say "you're an acquired taste, but I love you"?

Response by poster: Thank you, pmcp (and mlle valentine for the valuable assist.)

UK Mefites, it sounds like there might be a business opportunity here :)

Doing it once is a nice gesture, doing it for every expat on mefi is a pain in the arse.
Plus you guys should come up with more original presents for your loved ones. :)

There is an official Marmite shop that claims to ship overseas. It appears to have the chocolate bar, albeit as a bundle. I would expect it to arrive before Feb 14th.
