Apfelwein
Generally, the only place you can find Apfelwein (apple wine) in Germany is in Hessen - and it's a must try if possible. So if you ever find yourself in Hessen, get the Apfelwein.
A German casserole - with noodles, rice, potatoes or tortellini with any range of ingredients.
The best Auflauf I've had is at Café Early in Marburg. They sell it for less than €5, have a large variety of Aufläufe and they are always delicious.
Beer
Yeah, it seems pretty obvious - try the beer in Germany. Of course! But listen to me, it is a must - for cultural reasons and, well, you'll go home thinking the beers at home taste like water.

Chocolate
I know what you're thinking, you can get chocolate anywhere - but not like this chocolate. Ritter Sport and Milka brand chocolate have proved to be 10x better than any Hershey bar, not to mention how many more flavors they have - including Cookies and Cream, Cornflakes, Raisin, Hazelnut, Yoghurt, Whipped Cream, Marzipan, Chocolate Mousse and so much more. I give Germany an A+ in chocolate.

Currywurst (und pommes)
Currywurst is one of Germany's fast foods. You can find it in food trucks or at that tiny town called an Imbiss (Imbissstube - Snack Bar). Currywurst is from Berlin, but you can find it anywhere is Germany.
Currywurst is one of my favorites - and don't forget the Pommes Frites (fries). If you're really feeling German, dip your fries in Mayonnaise.
Döner kebap
Another one of my favorites is the Döner. It's a Turkish dish, but it's really more of a German thing at this point. It is similar to the Greek Gyro, but so much more. If you ever find yourself in Berlin, make sure to wait in line for a Mustafa's Gemüse Döner (vegetable Döner) - it is to die for. My favorite, though, will always be the classic Döner.

Gummy Candy
Simply put, with the variety of Haribo, Katjes and Trolli gummy candies, you can't go wrong.
And don't forget to stop in the handmade gummy shops.

Johannisbeer and Cassis flavored everything
Johannisbeer (red current) and cassis (black current) are two of those flavors you don't find many places in America. Here, it is everywhere. Juice, candy, wine, pastries, yoghurt, etc. In fact, I say, take a trip down the juice aisle and discover all the juice flavors we don't have in America.
