Sweet but crazy, mine has left (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

banana split

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sweet' is the definition.
(banana split is a kind of sweet)

'crazy mine has left' is the wordplay.
'crazy mine has' becomes 'banana' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'left' becomes 'split' (I've seen this before).
'banana'+'split'='BANANA SPLIT'

'but' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for banana split that I've seen before include "sweet food" , "Ice-cream dish" , "Ice cream dish" , "Fruit and ice cream dessert" .)
