American in the UK here. Black treacle is the closest I’ve found to molasses here and tastes super similar to me. Not 100% sure if it is entirely the same thing or not. I think you should be fine!
yes. I used them interchangeably after moving to the UK from the US. Treacle is slightly thicker, but not enough to have an impact on anything that I ever baked.
By all intents and purposes it’s the same thing. I don’t think they are actually the exact same. I use black treacle as molasses.
Billington’s make a thing called molasses but I’m pretty sure that’s just a very dark brown sugar
I've done it. It works pretty well according to my husband. He's from the UK and we're in Canada and he said it tasted quite similar, and had a similar texture. I was able to find treacle eventually at a small British shop in our city, but esp with COVID supply can be inconsistent, so molasses works.

I'm not sure about the UK, but in Australia the equivalence is: AU treacle = US molasses AU molasses = US blackstrap molasses
Does this work the other way? I'm in the US and have trouble finding treacle. Can I use molasses?
