A bonbon, sometimes bon-bon or chocolate bonbon, is a small, molded chocolate confection. They contain a multitude of fillings, such as liqueur or other sweet alcoholic drinks, covered with a smooth chocolate shell and sold wrapped in colored foil.
==Etymology and History== The word "bonbon" arose from the reduplication of the word , meaning "good" in the French language. Its use originated in the seventeenth century within the French royal court and spread to other European countries by the eighteenth century. Bonbons began to be served in ornate containers by the middle of the eighteenth century, which would be given as gifts at festivals and on holidays such as New Year's Day.
