This. Stuff works great. Great bang for the buck. Fudge Rounds work great during winter too.

Dried apricots work for me when I want some carbs that won't cause digestion problems, but my primary source of calories on a ride/race is diluted honey.

I like that they are easy to eat in small portions. They are also one of the most alkaline foods if you believe in that stuff.
Here are some papers that I'm sure were sponsored by the raisin industry.

Metabolic and performance effects of raisins versus sports gel as pre-exercise feedings in cyclists.

Sun-dried raisins are a cost-effective alternative to Sports Jelly Beans in prolonged cycling.

I'm some what surprised no one has yet offered up the infamous "red eggs".

Bananas. God's energy bar. Eating the fake kind is an affront to Him; that's why you don't win.
Honey. The bees slaved and died so that you can get a bit of juice for the last 15k. Honor their memories.
Coffee. Because, it's coffee.
Bacon. See: coffee.
Small baked new potatoes, as noted.
Pecan rolls which are only sold at the bakery in Corsicana, TX. I attribute my only 40+ RR podium to their beneficial effects.

No they didn't. They slaved away for themselves and their young, not for us. We brazenly stole it from them and their babies. Next time you get stung by a bee while riding, remember that.

Also, lately I've been using these. Baby food. Not all that calorie-dense but helps me with the hunger knock late in a long ride. Probably wouldn't use them in a race.
