Chocolate bars are probably a bad idea for a long ride. The sudden sugar rush will give you a boost, but then there's the crash.
Soreen Malt loaf, and low sugar breakfast bars would be better, imho.
I'd also try and get some 'Bodyglide' for your bum and other contact points (like where your sleeves rub on your arms, and your shoulders where the bag strap goes,etc) - prevention is better than cure; by the time you've noticed you're chafing, it's too late to do anything about it.
