actually, i was noticing how the laxative chocolate thread was similar to this one in that not only is the molasses rather chocolate-looking, but i have gone to the restroom several times today- partly to avoid doing other things.
i tried to find a recipe, but unfortunately making molasses is an involved process.
however, i will post some molasses-containing recipes!
