Soft sweet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fudge

'soft sweet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for fudge that I've seen before include "Sweet - unsatisfactory compromise" , "Adjust (figures) to meet desired result; sweet" , "Fake like soft sweet" , "Very sweet confection" , "Cover up" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
