Soft, chewy treat (11)

I believe the answer is:

marshmallow

(Other definitions for marshmallow that I've seen before include "Soft sweet" , "Spongy confection - wild flower" , "Spongy jellylike sweet" , "Spongy confection - pink-flowering plant" , "sweet little thing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
