I believe the answer is:

snacks

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

'light refreshment' is the definition.
'snacks' can be an answer for 'refreshment' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'light' bit.

'bit of nosh found in bags' is the wordplay.
'bit of' suggests taking the first letters.
'found in' is an insertion indicator.
'bags' becomes 'sacks' (sack is a kind of bag).
The first letter of 'nosh' is 'n'.
'n' inserted within 'sacks' is 'SNACKS'.

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snacks that I've seen before include "Nibbles" , "Light repasts" , "Light bites such as crisps" , "Light informal meals" , "Small food amounts between main meals" .)
