Tate and Lyle Treacle.

Treacle is one of my store cupboard essentials. As soon as the end of the tin is nearing, I add another to the shopping list. I have found so many scrummy recipes with treacle that I make time and time again because of raving reviews from the tasters! Tate and Lyle treacle (and syrup for that matter…) is the ‘real McCoy,’ I refuse to use any other brand.

My treacle-coated Gammon is loved by all and the sticky coating makes the crackling extra tasty, my kids have physically fought over who gets the most!

I also use treacle for Sticky Ginger Pudding. I tried it without the treacle and it’s just not as rich and sticky. My kids love making treacle cookies every Halloween and they decorate these as monster faces and spiders, a really original treat to take to parties!

This Halloween Tate and Lyle have really ‘treated’ us with the spooky decorated treacle tins. Along with treacle, they now have fiendish snacks. Why not try the Spooky Popcorn Balls and Witch’s Fingers?

Available from several stores across the UK from 88p per tin.
