Bonbon
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.
The word "bonbon" arose from the reduplication of the word bon, 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.
The word bonbons first appeared in a seventeenth century text by pediatrician Jean Héroard while he was documenting Louis XIII's wellbeing:
""I don't want to see Papa," says the prince. We tell him that Papa will give him a bon bon, he allows himself to be persuaded"
While bonbons still held a medicinal purpose to them, their transition into children's confectionery became evident. Bon bon is a childish way to denote sweets in French. The word bonbons was likely informally used by nannies and mothers until it was officialized in written French. Bonbon made its first formal appearance in Antoine Oudin's 1640 and 1645 dictionaries. Entries pertaining to bonbons define the term "bon bon" or "bonbons" as a "childish expression pertaining to a sweet snack offered to children".
Bonbons appear in a 1890 English opinion piece by The Lancet, under an article titled "MEDICINAL BONBONS." The article, while recognizing bonbons' role as a palatable way to eat medicine, warns against building a dependence on sweets for the sake of one's health.
In a 1857 article from American Journal of Pharmacy, mentions of bonbons as being a vehicle of medicine delivery were mentioned. The foul odor and bitter taste of tonics could be covered up using the sweetness of medicine.
Johann Strauss II wrote the waltz Wiener Bonbons in 1866. The title page shows the composition's name in the form of twisted bonbon wrappers.
