The Hostess SnoBall is celebrating its 60th birthday, thanks in part to the people of Louisville. They eat more Hostess SnoBalls per capita than any other U.S. city, according to Hostess.
As part of the SnoBall’s anniversary, the company has created a recipe for consumers who want to celebrate the birthday of this famous pink snack cake.
Cookie Sno Ball place card holders
Pastry bag fitted with fine, writing tip
Frosting, any color
2 sugar cookies, about 2 to 3-inches diameter
2 lollipop or popsicle sticks
2 Hostess Sno Balls (one 3.5 oz. package makes 2 place card holders)
2 small doilies
Use frosting as glue to hold stick on back of cookie. Be sure about 3-inches of stick extends below bottom of cookie. Place cookies on counter, stick side down. Some cookies have shapes you can push right into the SnoBall without a stick, like the corner of a star or the foot of a gingerbread man. Write a name on each cookie then decorate as desired. Allow frosting to dry.
Meanwhile, decorate Sno Balls as desired with frosting. Set each decorated SnoBall on a small paper doily.
To assemble, stick lollipop stick down into top of Sno Ball, positioning so cookie sets on top of SnoBall. Makes 2 place card holders.
Tips: Make enough cookie place card holders for each guest. Use any shape or flavor of cookie desired. If pink Sno Balls are used, you may frost the Sno Ball white, then decorate as desired.
his recipe works well with the frosting you can find at most grocery stores. You can also substitute your favorite homemade frosting recipe. A hard-drying frosting, like royal frosting, works best to attach sticks to cookies. Tubes of fine-tipped decorator frosting work best for writing names on the cookies.
