Suikerboon

Contenu disponible uniquement en anglais

A suikerboon, or sugar bean, is a type of sweet traditionally given on the occasion of the birth or baptism of a child in Belgium, where they are also known as doopsuiker, or baptism sugar, and parts of the Netherlands. In French, they are called dragées. They have a strong resemblance with Jordan almonds and Italian Confetti.

Originally sugar-coated almonds, they are now often sugar-coated chocolates of the same shape and size instead.
