Confection (6)
I believe the answer is:
nougat
'confection' is the definition.
(nougat is a kind of confection)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for nougat that I've seen before include "Honey/nut sweet" , "Chewy confection with nuts, fruit, etc" , "Sweet made from honey, nuts, sugar, etc" , "Chewy sweet with sugar, honey, nuts etc." , "Chewy nutty sweet" .)
