A bonbon is a small confectionery that is usually made of chocolate and filled with liqueur or other sweet alcoholic ingredients. They are sold wrapped in colored foil and can vary in their ingredients, flavors, and shape depending on the region. In France, bonbons have been made with a fruit center and may contain brittle, nougat, dragée, or caramel. Other possible fillings include butterscotch, fondant, fudge, ganache, gianduja, marzipan, praline, and truffle. Bonbons are usually made with a chocolate shell and a creamy ganache center, while truffles are rolled pieces of ganache dusted with cocoa powder or nuts. Bonbons can also refer to any type of small candy in some parts of the world. The name "bonbon" arose from the reduplication of the word "bon," meaning "good" in French. Bonbons originated from France in the 17th century and were handcrafted as balls with added decoration as a signature. Today, they are usually sold as sugar-coated powdery balls of various flavors, including strawberry, lemon, blue raspberry, apple, and toffee.
