Excerpt: 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.(Submitted on May 13, 2023.)
