My fave is Cashew Cookie which is made from cashews and dates. That is it. The Ginger Snap is intensely gingery, and good. The Banana Cokkie Dough is also good. The other ones are ok, the cherry one is very cherry.

I linked that because it's a little cheaper. You should be able to find it, I have found it in both bike shops and supermarkets.
Word - I was just about to post on these. As prior service, I've tried just about every energy/nutrition/meal replacement bar out there and these taste the best and don't feel like a block of wood in my stomach. Cherry pie tastes exactly like a *good* cherry pie, and so far none of them have that taste only a dieter could love. I get mine at Trader Joes for now. The softness is a real plus. I hate the feeling that I'm chewing leather or rock I get from many bars.
Luna is good and a close second for taste, although I feel the sea salt is overkill some people like it. Luna and Lara both run 190 calories, so not enough for most performance peeps as a meal replacement.
I disliked PRIA - I've found that diabetics and others who eat a low sugar diet enjoy the candy-like texture/taste but I still eat the real thing.
If you're willing to order online, consider
www.revivalsoy.com - They have a slightly soy-nutty taste but the texture of a rice krispie treat - not like granola mixed with gravel like many toasted soy style bars. They have a lot of flavors and are relatively high protein if you're trying to lose weight or concerned with that.
I've used fig newtons before, but they can be messy in moist weather.
And I prefer seamless, tagless underwear with a 96%/4% mix of cotton/spandex.
