bonbon
Filled chocolate morsel
A bonbon is a small candy, typically chocolate-covered with a soft filling like cream, fondant, or liqueur.
The word comes from French, where it's baby-talk reduplication of "bon" (good)—literally "good-good." Bonbons suggest something dainty and indulgent: a box of bonbons, nibbling bonbons while watching TV.
