Sweets moved about near lips (8)

I believe the answer is:

pralines

'sweets' is the definition.
(praline is a kind of sweet)

'moved about near lips' is the wordplay.
'moved about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'near'+'lips'='nearlips'
'nearlips' anagrammed gives 'PRALINES'.

(Another definition for pralines that I've seen is " Sweets with nuts in caramelized sugar".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
