I don't know how brands differ in the UK and the US, but the ones I am happy to use repeatedly:
High5 4-1 energy drinks - summer fruits flavour (I think?). Does the job, claims amazing special carbs give super-benefits, tastes okay
ZipVit chocolate orange protein recovery bars - kinda heavy but genuinely tasty.
But the king of omg delicious cycling foodz are these, in cola: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/PowerBar_Rideshots_Box_Of_16_Packets/5360041712/

that sounds REVOLTING yet i would try it.
i dabbled with some energy foodz on that otways ride a couple months back - liked the vanilla GU goo packs, also had 'winners' brand energy bars which i only ended up consuming one on the day - choc mint was tasty, the evans-endorsed 'cadel mountain mix' was a blend of nuts, grains and berries and was also pretty dece actually.
