Napoleon Bon-Bons
History
From Antwerp to Breskens – the story of Napoleon Bon-Bons
Antwerp 1912: The start of the sweet adventure
Louis Janssens was the owner of “sugar bakery” In De Gouden Bol. Louis came up with a new candy at the time, which soon became a success. The delicacy was well received by the people of Antwerp and deserved a name. When a friendly chocolatier boasted about his new praline which he called Caesar during a casual drink, Louis shouted: “Then I will call my candy Napoleon”. Little is heard from Caesar. From Napoleon all the more! Over the years, ‘In De Gouden Bol’ by baker Janssens has become increasingly popular.
All these years later, Napoleon Bon-Bons are made with the same recipe – natural flavors, natural colors, sugar, citric acid.
“Once you try a piece of these special chocolates, you will want one each and every day! Brothers Bob and Fred Piron create their magical delights in their always pristine Chocolatier Artist Studio immediately behind their shining showroom shop. Bob traveled back to Belgium, homeland of their parents, to be trained as a Chocolatier by Masters.
Treat yourself to their treasures- -dark or milk, solid, cream, nut, or caramel filled smoothly pleasing wonders of Callebaut Chocolate. You’ll want to visit the Piron family again and again!”
