Sno Balls are cream-filled chocolate cakes covered with marshmallow frosting and coconut flakes[1] formerly produced and distributed by Hostess and currently owned by The J.M. Smucker Company. Sno Balls are usually pink; however, they are also available in chocolate, lemon, white, green, blue and other colors for specific holidays and times of year. They come in packages of two and are sold at many convenience and grocery stores in the United States.
A similar cake produced by Tunnock's, called a "Snowball", is often sold at supermarkets in the United Kingdom; these cakes are typically covered in desiccated coconut, but are typically brown rather than pink, because they have chocolate on their outside.
