The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

It appears in a lot of dictionaries, which is pretty surprising, given the etymology. I could only find two citations that support this sense:
  • 1637, Thomas Nabbes, Microcosmus: a morall maske, presented with generall liking, at the private house in Salisbury Court, and heere set down according to the intention of the authour:
    With a French troop of pulpatoons, mackaroons, kickshaws, grand and excellent.
  • 2012, Daniel A. Rabuzzi, The Indigo Pheasant: Volume Two of Longing for Yount:
    He stood transfixed before heaps of oiled almonds, peels of candied lemon, golden currants, slabs of marchpain, creamy dariendoles, a great syrupy pulpatoon, a croque-en-bouche aux pistaches, pralines, glazed biscuits, an enormous Nesselrode Pudding topped with a froth of whipped cream, . . . all gleaming and glistening in the gas-light (the Sedgewicks being among the first to adopt the new form of illumination), beckoning, alluring with a seeming life of their own.
