Treacle

Treacle is a thick, dark syrup derived from boiled and refined sugar, traditionally produced as a byproduct of sugar refining or molasses processing. It has a rich, sweet flavor with a slightly bitter or smoky undertone, often used in baking, cooking, or as a topping. In British English, "treacle" can also colloquially refer to overly sentimental or cloying behavior or language. Overall, treacle is valued for its sweetness and depth of flavor in culinary applications.
