Explosive delicacy at children's parties (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jelly

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

'explosive delicacy' is the definition.
'jelly' can be an answer for 'delicacy' (jelly is a kind of delicacy). I'm not certain of the 'explosive' bit.

'children's parties' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'parties' could be 'll' (two L's - L can mean the Labour Party) and 'll' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jelly that I've seen before include "Gelatinous pudding" , "Clear dessert" , "Fruit-flavoured dessert" , "Aspic" , "-- and ice cream" .)
