physics of cold, explain this to me

I make most of my own foods and freeze them for use later. I frequently have a nice brick of chili for lunch and to keep it cold until lunch time I usually just wrap it in a nice fleece hoody.

now the question part, after several hours the hoody has ice inside where it has been against the frozen food but the food itself has definitely started to thaw and is usually just cold.

why is there ice on the hoody and cold but not frozen food inside?
