As a notorious candy junkie, I can address this with some authority. In general, Turkish candy is excellent both in quality and variety and there is little available in the U.S. that does not have a Turkish equivalent.
M&Ms, say, are not found in Turkey but Bonibon Candy Beans are essentially the same thing. The only significant American candies without a precise Turkish counterpart are peanut butter cups and other peanut-based candies. In Turkey, hazelnuts (fındık)are used rather than peanuts in candies, making for a better product in my opinion.
I haven't seen fındık cups, so I guess you could bring peanut butter cups as a novelty. I wouldn't bother; they're not that good a candy.
When I come from the States and want to bring candy as gifts, I get Lindt Lindor truffles. These are among my favorite candies from any source and always seem to be appreciated. The Lindt website is at:
