Crossword Genius

Sweet confection here, or candy, first of all (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

choc

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

'confection here or candy first of all' is the wordplay.
'first of all' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'confection here or candy' is 'CHOC'.

(Another definition for choc that I've seen is " Sweet (abbr)".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
