About
As of 2026, it's 59 years old.
Ho Hos are little rolled chocolate cakes wrapped around cream and coated in chocolate, designed so that the true snacking experience is carefully unrolling the spiral layer by layer before eating it — a ritual no one taught you and everyone does.
Part of Hostess's rolled-and-filled dynasty since 1967, they're the bite-sized, foil-wrapped sibling that turns a snack into a small craft project.
Chocolatey, creamy, and secretly interactive, Ho Hos reward the patient unroller and judge the person who just bites in.
