[[Image:C Ration B unit (1941) with contents.jpg|thumb|right|300px|An opened 1941 B unit with contents: cellophane wrapped chocolate [[fudge]], three [[Biscuit|biscuits]], three pressed [[sugar cube]]s, and a small tin of [[instant coffee]]]]The B-unit (bread and dessert portion) contained several calorie-dense [[Cracker (food)|crackers]], 3 sugar tablets, 3 [[dextrose]] energy tablets, and a packet or small can of beverage mix (instant coffee; powdered synthetic lemon drink, containing the rations' main source of [[vitamin C]]; or [[Meat extract|bouillon soup powder]]). Later revisions added orange drink powder (1944), [[Hot chocolate|sweetened cocoa powder]] (1944), and grape drink powder (1945), all enriched with vitamin C, to the list of beverages. In 1941, the energy tablets were replaced with loose [[candy]], such as candy-coated peanuts or raisins, Charms hard candy, or Brachs chocolate or vanilla caramels. Due to spoilage, the loose candy was replaced in 1944 with a chocolate disk (e.g., Brachs fudge disk) or a cookie sandwich (e.g., Jim Dandee), and the number of biscuits was reduced to 4.

Another B-unit, consisting of pre-mixed [[oatmeal]] [[Breakfast cereal|cereal]], was introduced in 1944 as a breakfast ration that was usually paired with the "Ham, Egg, and Potato" Meal.
