Sugar plums, perhaps? (5)

I believe the answer is:

lumps

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

'sugar plums perhaps?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'plums perhaps?' is the wordplay.
'perhaps?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'perhaps' mean this).
'plums' anagrammed gives 'LUMPS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lumps that I've seen before include "Clods or swellings" , "Chunks" , "Puts up with" , "Compact masses" .)
