The term "bonbon" has multiple meanings depending on its context.
In French, it refers to a small sweet confectionery made from sugar or chocolate and often coated in powdered sugar. In this sense, bonbons are similar to candies or sweets.
However, the term can also be used more broadly to refer to any small, tasty treat such as truffles, macarons, or even certain types of cookies.
In English, "bonbon" is often used interchangeably with "candy," although it may have a slightly more refined connotation.
