Treacle

Treacle, or molasses, was a liquid, uncrystallized sugar syrup, sometimes eaten as a frozen treat.

Description
Treacle was a dark-colored opaque brown unrefined sugar syrup, as well as it's lighter-colored variation known as golden syrup. It was often sold for 5 silver pieces per quart (0.95 liters).

Usages
Treacle could be found in alchemy labs, food vendor stalls, taverns, and among items of some healers and physicians.

Treacles was a common addition to oatmeal, when maple syrup was not available. It was also used to prepare sweet treats such as nutbrown tarts and ginger biscuits; breads, like darkloaf, as well as firefruit meat sauces and marinades; and sweet bean-barrel-sauce - as a type of edible preservative (however some preferred to wash the treacle sauce off before consuming). Lastly, treacle was sued in brewing and sweetening rums and darkfire alcohols.

Rogues sometimes used a thieves' tool called tar paper—a piece of thick and heavy paper, drenched in tar, honey, or treacle. The paper was stuck on glass before being broken by a burglar. This simple tool reduced noise and contained all the glass shards in place.

A single drop of treacle was used as a material component for the slow spell, prior to the Time of Troubles.
