Vegetarians beware

If you partake in eating a Hostess SnoBall (like I did recently -- yum!), they contain beef fat and pork rinds. Yikes!

If you haven't had one of these, they are a "distinctive marshmallow, coconut and chocolate cake combination" introduced in 1947. (They mostly taste like they were made then, too, but you're not eating it for nutritional purposes.)

What's disturbing is that Hostess devotes an entire web site section to SnoBall recipes ... like SnoBall Ornaments made with liquorice and gum drops. Eew.

Some have even used Hostess products for wedding cakes. (I'll have to run that by Robin.)

Read all about the SnoBall history, recipes, and their 60th anniversary.

No, how can that be?!? This is just plain wrong! We should start a petition.
