I don't know of an American equivilant, although I am addicted to them myself 
thanks to my Irish husband. The English version is called "Crunchy". Comes in 
an orange wrapper. The Violet Crumble is actually Australian. Comes in, 
natch, a violet wrapper. My hubby says they are a whipped honeycomb 
center...very, very light, with chocolate poured over. My suggestion, 
although it will take footwork on your part, is to see if you can get them 
from an English import store in your area. They usually have them outside the 
military bases. I buy from a great little place called The Tudor Rose here in 
Tucson, Arizona. If all else fails, go to BBC has an online store that might 
carry them and you can order online. Stick one in his mouth and he will never 
ask again what they are, just if you can **get** him more.
