The story the reviews tell

Sno Balls are the mass-market staple of cream-filled chocolate cake — a Hostess invention now under Smucker's stewardship that trades in marshmallow frosting, coconut flakes, and candy-bright pink shells. You find them in any convenience store, two to a package, their texture a particular kind of artificial comfort: the chalky marshmallow exterior giving way to that synthetic chocolate cake and filling. The cake has learned to dress itself up for holidays too, cycling through chocolate, lemon, white, and seasonal colors, though the pink version remains the iconic form.

What makes this version distinct

Sno Balls are cream-filled chocolate cakes covered with marshmallow frosting and coconut flakes 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.
