I believe the answer is:

thereat

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'on that account' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'get her eating nibbles' is the wordplay.
'THEREAT' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thereat that I've seen before include "On account of that" , "At that place" , "Theatre (anag)" , "At that point" .)
