The Dormouse tells a story about three girls who live in a treacle well. Their names are Elsie, Lacie and Tillie. It isn't said in the text whether the Dormouse or the three girls are especially fond of treacle. The girls live on it, but as they were very ill (probably as a result of living on treacle) the implication is that they didn't enjoy it very much.

The Dormouse does seem to be interested in treacle, as he mentions it again during the trial of the Knave of Hearts in response to a question which wasn't even addressed to him.
