Ho Hos are cylindrical, frosted, cream-filled cakes that are made by the Hostess company and are distributed in the United States and Egypt. The Interstate Bakeries Corporation owns the Hostess company. These chocolate cream filled cakes have a unique pinwheel design. Ho Hos were first made in 1967, when a San Francisco bakery began making "Swiss-filled" chocolate cakes coated with chocolate. A nut-covered version, "Nutty Ho Hos," was introduced in 1999.[1] "Caramel Ho Hos" were introduced in February 2004.[2]
