American sweets a bit aromatic, and yummy (5)
I believe the answer is:
candy
'american sweets' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a bit aromatic and yummy' is the wordplay.
'a bit' indicates a hidden word (the answer is formed by a bit of the clue).
'CANDY' is hidden within 'aromatic and yummy'.
(Other definitions for candy that I've seen before include "American confectionary" , "Girl's name (diminutive)" , "American sweets" , "Crystallised sugar; US sweets" , "Sweet (US)" .)
