🎃🍷 The Ultimate Guide to Pairing Wine with Halloween Candy! 🍬🍷
Halloween’s over, but the candy haul is real! Whether you’re munching on leftovers from trick-or-treaters or sneaking from your kid’s stash, I’ve got the perfect wine pairings to elevate your candy game. 🍭✨
Twix + Rosé or Champagne 🥂 The bubbly acidity in rosé and Champagne perfectly complements the caramel and milk chocolate in Twix. Cheers to that!
Candy Corn + Prosecco or Chardonnay 🍾 Love it or hate it, candy corn gets a glow-up with some bubbly Prosecco or a smooth Chardonnay. Perfect for fans of this divisive treat!
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups + Merlot 🍫🍷 Already the best Halloween candy? Make it even better with a medium-bodied Merlot. Peanut butter and wine? Yes, please!
Hershey’s Dark Chocolate + Zinfandel or Port 🍷 The tannins in dark chocolate need a sweet red wine for balance. Try Zinfandel, Port, or even a Malbec or Syrah for a match made in heaven.
Milky Way + Merlot 🍫🍷 Smooth nougat and creamy caramel in a Milky Way shine when paired with a medium-bodied Merlot. Yum!
Smarties + Sparkling Wine 🍬✨ Cut through the fruity, chalky texture of Smarties with the crisp acidity of sparkling wine. A refreshing combo!
Snickers + Sauternes, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Port 🍫🍷 With all the flavors in a Snickers bar, a robust Cab Sav, rich Sauternes, or a sweet Port will stand up to the challenge. Next-level deliciousness!
Starburst + Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Riesling 🍷 All those fruity flavors in Starburst pair perfectly with these white wines. Sweet and refreshing!
Kit Kats + Pinot Noir 🍫🍷 Simple yet classic, Kit Kats’ crisp wafers and milk chocolate are a dream with the light fruitiness of Pinot Noir.
So, grab your favorite candy and a glass of wine, and enjoy the perfect pairing! 🍬🍷 Cheers! 🎉
