Crossword Genius

Sweet packet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mint

This clue is a double definition.

'sweet' is the first definition.
(I know that mint is a type of candy)

'packet' is the second definition.
(both can mean a lot of money)

(Other definitions for mint that I've seen before include "Where money coins are manufactured" , "Coin-making place or nice lamb sauce" , "fortune" , "sweet > factory?" , "packet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
