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 and parts of the Netherlands. In French they are called dragées. It has strong resemblance with Jordan almonds.Originally sugar-coated almonds they are now often sugar-coated chocolates of the same shape and size instead.In the Netherlands a more common tradition is to give beschuit met muisjes after the birth of a child.
