Can I use black treacle instead of molasses in gingerbread?

I hope so!   I'd prefer not to get specialty U.S. goods.

Treacle is the British molasses, so... yes!

Thanks!  Happy Xmas Eve!

Yes, I've used black treacle in my gingerbread and it turned out fine.  However, I have bought blackstrap molasses (organic no less!) at Tesco. 
I found it in the section with the gluten free/organic/whole foods. 

I find that black treacle makes my gingerbread too bitter. I do half golden syrup and half treacle, turns out perfect.

I use all golden syrup, allspice, ginger, and cinnamon.  Turns out perfect each time.

Is carob molasses same as regular? I bought some the other day, I like to have molasses in my cupboard, but don't know if they are the same.
