Food Porn: Giant sno ball

Filed under: Snacks , Food Porn , Retro cookery , Super Size Me   Sno Balls are snack cakes made by Hostess. They were introduced in 1947 and consist of a chocolate cupcake filled with creme filling, coated with a marshmallowy fluff and rolled in coconut. When you look closely, you can see that the interior is really  a regular Hostess Ding Dong or cupcake that has been turned upside down. Nevertheless, they have a lot of retro appeal and, like must snack foods, become even more appealing when super-sized. I found this photoset on Flickr when I was looking around for more pimped out snack ideas . The chocolate cake dome was baked in a round bowl , hollowed out and covered with homemade marshmallow . Check out the whole photoset to see all the steps.
