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: literally "baptism sugar"), and parts of the Netherlands. In French, they are called dragées. They resemble Jordan almonds and Italian Confetti.

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