More than one sweet model flirts round earl (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trifles

'more than one sweet' is the definition.
(trifle is a kind of sweet)

'model flirts round earl' is the wordplay.
'model' indicates anagramming the letters (the solver must model the letters into a new form).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'earl' becomes 'e'.
'flirts' anagrammed gives 'trifls'.
'trifls' placed around 'e' is 'TRIFLES'.

(Other definitions for trifles that I've seen before include "Toys" , "Behaves frivolously for popular desserts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
