What it is
A dark, hard, almost bitter toffee made with black treacle, traditionally broken into shards with a hammer. Deep, smoky and very strong.
Taste
Where it comes from
Treacle toffee is tied to Bonfire Night in the north of England, where it is also called plot toffee after the Gunpowder Plot, and to Hallowe'en in Scotland and Ireland as claggum or cinder toffee's relative. It was made at home in trays and cracked up, which is why it is still sold in irregular pieces.
What it's made of
Sugar, glucose syrup and black treacle boiled to a hard crack with butter, poured into a tray and left to set, then broken.
