Falsify some confectionery (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fudge

This clue is a double definition.

'falsify' is the first definition.
(I know that falsify can be written as fudge)

'some confectionery' is the second definition.
(fudge is a kind of confectionery)

(Other definitions for fudge that I've seen before include "Soft buttery sweet" , "Sweet; nonsense (arch.)" , "Sweet - unsatisfactory compromise" , "Cook - candy" , "Soft sugary sweet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
