Dry and possibley portable snacks for toddlers

I am sick of the following:  all types/flavors cheerios, graham crackers (again, all flavors), goldfish, puffins, kashi heart to heart.  I just don't want to clean these particular items out of or off of anything for awhile.  I do fruit, cheese, yogurt, etc. when we are home for snacking, but what are you ladies using for on the go and in the stroller, etc.?

    Dried fruit.  My son loves Craisins on the go.  Pretzels and 'fruit strips' (Archer Farms brand from Target) are some more favorites.  Nilla wafers are a special treat.  He also loves Cheez-its.  I buy the scrabble tile ones and he practices his letters while snacking. :)

    costco sells boxes of freeze-dried strawberries, apples and pears (no added ingredients - just the fruit).

    These are my usual go-to foods to take with us when we're going out:

    Kashi or Trader Joe's cereal bars, bananas, blueberries/strawberries/watermelon, Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal in a snack cup (he loves this), whole wheat bagel (w/ or w/o peanut butter), or Trader Joe's organic string cheese (I have a small fabric insulated cooler).

    The only things DD likes are the chewy "fruit" snacks (I found some Mott's ones that seem to have a small bit of real fruit content), yogurt covered raisins, animal crackers, and freeze dried banana slices from Trader Joe's (which is a pain for me because the closest TJ's is 2 states away).

    I like Elmo crackers.  Don't know the brand, but they are in the organic food aisles at Wegmans.  And DD *loves* them.  They're whole wheat and high calorie (she needs the calories), and if she doesn't finish them, I will, because they're pretty tasty.

    Also we get dried fruits in bulk.  We stock up on dates an dried plums (which are no longer called prunes, I guess?).  Sometimes we'll venture into more fancy things like dried papaya; from the bulk containers we can get a tiny amount, then not much goes to waste if DD hates it.

    raisins in individual boxes, peanut butter crackers (the packaged kind for ease), and wheat thins are our top treats.
