When Clara wildly embraces me, it's sweet (7)
I believe the answer is:
caramel
'it's sweet' is the definition.
(I know that confection are sweet)
'when clara wildly embraces' is the wordplay.
'when' becomes 'me' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'wildly' is an anagram indicator.
'embraces' is an insertion indicator.
'clara' anagrammed gives 'caral'.
'me' put within 'caral' is 'CARAMEL'.
'me' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caramel that I've seen before include "Soft toffee" , "Dark brown substance" , "Chew candy" , "Soft sweet" , "Toffee-like sweet" .)
