Sorry! Before you later wrote some additional details, the main question on its own looked like you wouldn't settle for anything "lesser" for normal groceries.
I will say though, in the USA they make cinnamon-flavoured foods in abundance. I have to import cinnamon items from there for my cinnamon fix!
Also, supermarkets I went to over there were jam-packed with all sorts of fantastic goodies I'd never seen sold here. Most shops and supermarkets seem to look after their shoppers better there.
For American-brand foods in the UK, online seems the easiest way to get items, without having to travel far and wide.
Try these shops:

Not knowing where you live makes it harder to help but I know that there's a store in Milton Keynes which I think is called "EAT" - for MK users, it's near WH Smiths and was H&M many years ago. It has a limited amount of US brands. Also in Birmingham Selfridges in the Bullring has lots of American brand food on their bottom floor - it's REALLY expensive though! If you're in London then there are probably loads of places but I personally don't know any there. Any big city is likely to be your best bet. Good luck, and if you find any Captain Crunch's Vanilly Crunch cereal then send me a box lol

You can actually order a lot of American brands of food off of http://www.amazon.com I'm not joking. They have a food section now. And they DO deliver to the UK.

Selfridges. They have loads of American branded foodstuff, Hershey bars, candy, cereal etc. They have one in London, Birmingham and Manchester I believe.

Best bet is to find out the location of your nearest USAF airfield, they all have a PX which stocks all American stuff.
