A suikerboon (Dutch: [ˈsœy̯.kərˌboːn] ⓘ), 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 (Dutch: [ˈdoːpˌsœy̯.kər] ⓘ, literally "baptism sugar"), and parts of the Netherlands. In French, they are called dragées. They resemble Jordan almonds and Italian Confetti.
