A suikerboon (Dutch), 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), or baptism sugar, and parts of the Netherlands. In French, they are called dragées. They resemble Jordan almonds and Italian Confetti.
