Money can be sweet (5)

I believe the answer is:

lolly

I believe this is a double definition.

'money' is the first definition.
(slang term)

'sweet' is the second definition.
(lolly is a kind of sweet)

'can be' is the link.

(Other definitions for lolly that I've seen before include "A sweet; money (slang)" , "Loot, dosh" , "Cash (slang)" , "dough" , "Money (for suckers?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
