Something superficially attractive (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

eye candy

(Other definitions for eye candy that I've seen before include "'Informally, an attractive but intellectually undemanding companion (3,5)'" , "One who is visually pleasing" , "Vacuous Adonis" , "Visually attractive thing" , "dish?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
