1. Chocolate Bars (Snickers, Kit Kat, etc.)

Pair with: Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot

Rich red wines with dark fruit flavors and firm tannins complement the creamy, nutty, and chocolatey texture of candy bars.

2. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Pair with: Sherry or Tawny Port

These wines have nutty, caramel notes that enhance the peanut butter and chocolate combination.

3. Candy Corn

Pair with: Chardonnay or Moscato

The sweetness of candy corn pairs well with a buttery, creamy Chardonnay, or for something sweeter, a fruity Moscato.

4. Sour Candy (Sour Patch Kids, Skittles, etc.)

Pair with: Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling

The crisp acidity and citrus notes in Sauvignon Blanc or off-dry Riesling balance the intense tartness of sour candies.

5. Gummy Bears or Worms

Pair with: Rosé or Lambrusco

Light and fruity rosé wines pair nicely with gummy candy, while Lambrusco’s fizz adds fun to the chewy texture.

6. M&Ms or Hershey’s Milk Chocolate

Pair with: Pinot Noir

A light, smooth Pinot Noir complements the milk chocolate’s sweet, creamy flavor without overpowering it.

7. Twizzlers or Red Vines

Pair with: Zinfandel

Zinfandel’s bold, berry flavors work well with the fruity, chewy texture of licorice.

Try these playful pairings to add some adult fun to Halloween night!
