Black treacle

A thick, dark, bittersweet syrup (a by-product of sugar refining) used to add deep flavour and colour to gingerbread, fruit cakes and sauces.

Warm the spoon or tin briefly, or measure over the pan already used for melting butter, so the sticky syrup slides off easily rather than clinging to the spoon.
