Enrobée


Explanation:
The term "bassinato" comes from the bassina, a copper pot.
"Bassinato" is often used also for confetti.
In the following link you can find an explanation of what bassinati are:
http://www.lastampa.it/_web/cmstp/tmplrubriche/giornalisti/g...
I always found it translated with "enrobée". Once I also read "encapsulated", but I think the French term is easier to be found.

Bassinati are usually enrobée with chocolate, and inside they have dry fruits or candied fruits.
