Sure, candies are my specialty. I've given as souvenirs American candies to all age groups of Japanese in the past. From this experience, I can tell you that they find your best-selling chocolate products way too sweet. Japan is a country where Snickers and M&M's flopped completely because they never adjusted the sweetness level to appeal to the Japanese palate.
If I were you, I'd bring Lifesavers and chewing gums. We certainly have similar products in Japan but the different package designs alone would please the kids. People tend to bring things that they are sure that the other country doesn't have. But kids are much more conservative with food than adults are. If something tastes strange, they may not eat it after the first bite.
