Suikerboon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A suikerboon (Dutch), or sugar bean, is a type of sweet traditionally given on the occasion of the birth of a child in Flanders. In French, they are called dragées.

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

In the Netherlands, the equivalent food to Suikerbonen, given after the birth of a child, is beschuit met muisjes.
