Edible coating compositions containing a mixture of linear and branched polysaccharides, are provided, by a mixture of waxy and non-waxy starches. The coating composition contains waxy starch having an amylose content of no greater than about two percent by weight and non-waxy starch having an amylose content of greater than about five percent by weight. The weight ratio of said waxy starch to said non-waxy starch in the coating composition is preferably greater than about 8:1. The food products have a comestible core substantially surrounded by the coating compositions. Methods for forming food products are also disclosed.
