The present invention provides a heat resistant coating, confection comprising the coating, and methods of making these. More specifically, the heat resistant coating comprises at least one layer comprising an amount of glycerol less than 3 wt. %. In some embodiments, glycerol is the sole component of at least one layer. Because the amount of glycerol used is minimized in some layers, or the sole component of others, the processing difficulties that can be encountered when higher amounts of glycerol is mixed with other things can be avoided. And yet, the coating, and confections comprising the same may exhibit heat resistance to the same, or even better, degree, than conventional coatings or confections comprising the conventional coatings.
