ho hos

Cream-filled cylinders

Ho Hos are chocolate snack cakes made by Hostess—cylindrical rolls of chocolate cake with cream filling, covered in a chocolate coating.

Similar to Swiss rolls but individually sized.

The name comes from the cheerful exclamation, suggesting holiday indulgence.

I used to find Ho Hos in my lunchbox as a kid.
