Treacle is molasses. Golden Syrup is sort of like Dark Karo Syrup.

Fudge (the real stuff) is made by boiling sugar and water to the "soft 
ball" stage (meaning that the syrup will from a soft ball when dropped 
into ice water), at which point chopped chocolate or peanut butter is 
added to the syrup. Fudge is rather soft, but firm and shouldn't be 
too sticky. There's also the "fake" fudge made with sweetened 
condensed milk and totally skips the sugar syrup stage and losses some 
caramel flavor.

Toffee is made from a sugar syrup boiled to a firmer stage.

Turkish Delight, as someone said is sort of like Aplets. They're 
flavored with lemon or rosewater and sometimes have finely chopped 
pistachios in them.

Spotted Dick is basically a bread and butter pudding with raisins or 
currants.
