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

'miner made visitor endless' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates an anagram.
'visitor' becomes 'guest' (someone visiting a place).
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'guest' with its final letter taken off is 'gues'.
'miner' with letters rearranged gives 'merin'.
'merin'+'gues'='MERINGUES'
