In an illustrative example, a confectionery item may include a frozen food core, a boundary layer configured to wrap the frozen food core, and a spun sugar layer configured to surround the boundary layer. In some embodiments, the boundary layer may be pliable at room temperature and hard at freezing temperatures. By adding the boundary layer, the frozen food core may, in some embodiments, not dissolve (e.g., “burn” or “eat” through) the spun sugar.
