I'm leaving chocolate spread you put out for dance (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tarantella

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

'dance' is the definition.
(tarantella is a kind of dance)

'i'm leaving chocolate spread you put out' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'spread' could be 'ran' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'ran' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tarantella that I've seen before include "Whirling dance" , "Lively Italian dance" , "dance music" , "Lively Neapolitan dance" , "furious dance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
