Crossword Genius

Humbug, some confectionery (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fudge

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'some confectionery' is the second definition.
(fudge is a kind of confectionery)

(Other definitions for fudge that I've seen before include "Cook - candy" , "Sweet; nonsense (arch.)" , "Something sweet" , "Put together in makeshift way, like soft sweet" , "Soft creamy sweet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
