Best point to target treat jar (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

sweet spot

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

'best' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'point to target treat jar' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 's' (S is an example).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'target treat' becomes 'sweet' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'jar' becomes 'pot' (I've seen this in other clues).
's' after 'sweet' is 'sweets'.
'sweets'+'pot'='SWEET SPOT'

Can you help me to learn more?
