Solid snacks on the bike

What do y'all like to eat on the bike?
I tried a homemade energy gel--obviously not solid, and pretty awful. More recently, I've been trying fig newtons. The nutritional composition isn't bad, they're cheap and readily available, and a sleeve happens to fit perfectly in my top-tube bag. They're easy to handle and easy to meter out. But they're a little hard to get down, so even over a 5-hour ride, it takes some effort to get through just one sleeve, which is about 750 calories. So I'm hitting up the hive mind for suggestions.
