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 (Dutch, literally "baptism sugar"), and parts of the Netherlands.
They are broadly identical to the candied almond called dragées, and also resemble Jordan almonds and Italian Confetti.
Originally sugar-coated almonds, they are now often sugar-coated chocolates of the same shape and size instead.
