Sweet stuff from university in Tonga possibly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nougat

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

'sweet' is the definition.
(I know that nougat is a type of sweet)

'university in tonga possibly' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'tonga' is an anagram of 'nogat'.
'u' put within 'nogat' is 'NOUGAT'.

'stuff from' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nougat that I've seen before include "Chewy almond sweet" , "Honey/nuts sweet" , "Sweet made from honey, egg white and nuts" , "Type of sweet" , "Chewy sweets made of nuts, sugar and albumen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
