Will a nut go into this? Yes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nougat

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

'this? yes' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'will a nut go' is the wordplay.
'a nut go' can be anagrammed to 'NOUGAT'.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'into' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nougat that I've seen before include "Honeyed sweet" , "Chewy nutty sweet" , "Chewy pink or white sweet" , "Sweet made from honey, nuts, sugar, etc" , "Sweet made using honey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
