I believe the answer is:

cobbler

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

This could be a double definition.

'last worker' is the first definition.
(a last is a tool used by a cobbler)

'sweet' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cobbler that I've seen before include "One might fix heels" , "Iced drink - fruit pie with a crunchy topping" , "Shoe repairer" , "Man at last" , "Clobber for shoemaker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
