What is this, also

According to Widipedia: "Treacle is any syrup made during the refining of sugar cane and is defined as "uncrystallized syrup produced in refining sugar". Treacle is used chiefly in cooking as a form of sweetener or condiment.
The most common forms of treacle are the pale syrup that is also known as golden syrup and the darker syrup that is usually referred to as dark treacle or black treacle. Dark treacle has a distinctively strong flavour, slightly bitter, and a richer colour than golden syrup, yet not as dark as molasses.

Other folks seem to believe that there are lots others around, but don't see them much on grocery shelves. Karo is always there, some clear and some darker.

Treacle is darker and has a stronger flavour than Golden Syrup. I have often used Golden Syrup as a substitute and I don't see why Molasses wouldn't work (we don't see much Molasses on our grocery shelves here in Aus.).
