Treacle (black)

Treacle is a thick, dark syrup, a byproduct of sugar refining similar to molasses, with a deep, slightly bitter sweetness. It is used in British baking, particularly in treacle tart, gingerbread, and dark fruit cakes, contributing both sweetness and a rich colour. Black treacle is more robust and bitter, while golden syrup is a lighter, milder form sometimes grouped under the same name.
