A bonbon is a sweet or small confection, especially a small ball coated in chocolate. The word originated from the French language and simply means "candy", where the first reports of bonbons come from the 17th century, when they were made at the French royal court.

The name bonbon arose from the reduplication of the word bon, meaning 'good' in the French language.

In France, bonbons are usually made with a center of fruit, and may contain ganache, caramel, nuts or nougat.
