Some of the happiest snacks! (4)

I believe the answer is:

pies

'snacks' is the definition.

'some of the happiest' is the wordplay.
'some of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PIES' is hidden in the letters of 'happiest'.

(Other definitions for pies that I've seen before include "food" , "Tarts" , "See 1 Across" , "Pastry snacks" , "Pastry dishes" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
