An assembly includes foodstuff packaging, a first foodstuff, and a second foodstuff. The foodstuff packaging includes a portion configured to generate heat. The first foodstuff is disposed within the foodstuff packaging and includes a first foodstuff material configured to transition from a first state to a second state upon application of the heat. The second foodstuff is disposed within the foodstuff packaging and is (i) separated from the first foodstuff when the first foodstuff is arranged in the first state and (ii) comingled with the first foodstuff when the first foodstuff is arranged in the second state to define a comingled foodstuff.
