noun
- plural of molasses; thick, dark syrup produced during the refining of sugar
Usage: molasses is typically used as a mass noun (uncountable), so the plural form 'molasseses' is rare and non-standard; when a plural is needed, 'molasses' itself is often used, or the phrase 'types of molasses' is preferred
