Sweet making a nut go crazy! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nougat

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

'a nut go crazy' is the wordplay.
'crazy' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'nut'+'go'='anutgo'
'anutgo' anagrammed gives 'NOUGAT'.

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for nougat that I've seen before include "Chewy nutty sweet" , "Chewy confection with nuts, cherries" , "Honeyed sweet" , "Sweet made from honey, nuts, sugar, etc" , "'Chewy sweet with nuts, cherries (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
