Ho Hos

Ho Hos are small, cylindrical, frosted, cream-filled chocolate snack cakes[1] with a pinwheel design based on the Swiss roll.

Made by Hostess Brands,[2][3][4] they are similar to Yodels by Drake's and Swiss Cake Rolls by Little Debbie.

[5] The product is also produced in Canada by Vachon Inc., which holds its Canadian rights, but they are marketed as Chocolate Swiss Rolls.

The character wore an outfit similar to that of Robin Hood,[10] including a feathered cap.

A nut-covered version named Nutty Ho Hos was introduced in 1989,[11] along with a promotional search for "the country's nuttiest celebrity laugh" which was awarded to comedian Eddie Murphy based on consumer votes.
