confectionery quiz

[janebedford7]

hi we recieved a confectionery quiz from school last week and we just need the final answer its driving me insane. cryptic clues such as brainy people lead to answers such as smarties ie. all answers are types of confectionery
the one we are stuck on is 'grave under foot'

Hi.
I can see why you have posed this Q under Food & Drink but you will have more chance of an answer if you post it again under Quzzes & Puzzles.
