Sweet given to fellow with payment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toffee

'sweet' is the definition.
(toffee is a kind of sweet)

'to fellow with payment' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'payment' becomes 'fee' (payment for a job).
'to'+'f'+'fee'='TOFFEE'

'given' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for toffee that I've seen before include "Chewy confection" , "Chewy confectionery" , "Confectionery made from sugar and butter" , "Chewy sweet" , "can we not do something for it?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
