Best Wines to Pair with Halloween Candy

This one is for the adults — if your house is overrun with Halloween candy and you're a fan of wine, here's some perfect pairings!

In houses all over town, there's a big pile of candy sitting on a table or in a pillowcase or in a cute, plastic pumpkin.

"It’s inevitable," Serious Winingwrites on its most recent Patch blog. "You get home after a long day, pour a nice glass of wine, and walk right by your child’s Halloween candy basket. In the interest of saving their teeth, you reach in and grab a piece. But, pair with care!"

To help everyone do just that, Serious Wining shared some suggested pairings and wants to know how you liked them! Did they work or did you find a better pairing? 

  • Sparkling Wine - Kit Kat
  • Pinot Noir - Peanut M&Ms, Whoppers
  • Moscato - Skittles, Smarties
  • Syrah/Shiraz - Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate
