Bound along eating 1p sweet (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lollipop

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

'sweet' is the definition.
(I know that lollipop is a type of Candy)

'bound along eating 1p' is the wordplay.
'bound along' becomes 'lollop' (I've seen this before).
'eating' indicates putting letters inside.
'ip' becomes 'ip' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'lollop' placed around 'ip' is 'LOLLIPOP'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lollipop that I've seen before include "Sucked sweet" , "Sweet on a stick" , "Candy on a stick" , "Sweet for suckers?" , "Ice confection" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
