treacle toffee

British molasses candy

Treacle toffee is a dark, brittle British confection made by boiling black treacle with sugar and butter until it hardens.

The treacle gives it a distinctive deep color and slightly bitter, molasses-like flavor.

It's traditionally associated with Bonfire Night celebrations in early November: The children cracked pieces of treacle toffee with a small hammer.
