Answers: Here is a recipe for treacle toffee. Most people know treacle by another name: molasses. The recipe also calls for castor sugar, which is a very fine sugar (not confectioner's or icing sugar). Some people refer to castor sugar as "fruit sugar" as it is often used with fruit and jam recipes. If you don't have castor sugar, put the same amount of regular, white sugar in your blender and pulse until it is fine.
