Chocolate starter in Israel possibly cakes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eclairs

'cakes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'chocolate starter in israel possibly' is the wordplay.
'starter' indicates taking the first letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
The first letter of 'chocolate' is 'c'.
'israel' is an anagram of 'elairs'.
'c' put inside 'elairs' is 'ECLAIRS'.

(Other definitions for eclairs that I've seen before include "Elongated cream puffs" , "Oblong cream puffs" , "Cream cakes" , "sticky fingers" , "in which la creme may be found?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
