How Did The Astronauts Who Explored The Moon Eat?

The first ones to land on the moon, as we know, were Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. However, unlike explorations after them, the two men only spent two and a half hours on the lunar surface, before they went back to their spacecraft. The later moonwalks lasted for more than seven hours and were physically demanding, and of course when you get tired, you get hungry. The question is: How are you going to eat with your suit intact?

...the astronauts had a snack, mounted ingeniously inside their space helmets, where they could lean over and take a bite.

What is this snack and who made it?
