Hostess Snoballs, 3.5 Oz (Pack of 6)

In 1919, the world was introduced to what is now known as the Hostess CupCake, a moment that marked the first and most significant event in the history of snack cakes. Six years later, Continental Baking sought to expand its offerings by adding a line of cakes to be sold alongside their popular Wonder bread, and thus, the Hostess brand was born.

The true turning point came in 1930 when Jimmy Dewar, an employee of Continental Baking, invented the iconic Twinkie. Priced at two for a nickel, the Twinkie quickly skyrocketed in popularity and became Hostess' best-selling snack cake. Over the years, Twinkies have cemented their status as an American icon, with half a billion produced annually.

In 1995, Interstate Bakeries Corporation acquired Continental Baking Company, making Interstate the largest wholesale baker of fresh delivered bread and cake in the United States. In 2009, Interstate changed its name to Hostess Brands, Inc., to better reflect its renowned brands.

Today, Hostess continues to delight consumers with a variety of classic and new treats, including Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, and Donettes. Consumers can explore the full line of Hostess snack cake deliciousness on the company's products page. However, the brand wisely refrains from picking a favorite, as these delectable treats are meant to be enjoyed, not debated.

The iconic Hostess CupCake, a creme-filled, chocolate cake with marshmallow frosting and coconut flakes, remains a beloved on-the-go snack, boasting 0g of trans fat. The packaging and colors (white, blue, green, orange, and pink) may vary to reflect the changing seasons, but the quality and taste remain consistent, as Hostess continues to be the baker of America's favorite snack cakes.
