"There is nothing in the world quite like a piece of Halloween candy. Especially if you're eating it after your kids are sound asleep, utterly exhausted from a core childhood memory made with you and a cheap polyester Target costume. But if you want to truly level up the experience of snacking on your favorite mini candies while watching a movie that once had you pee your pants at a sleepover, consider pairing Halloween candy with wine and a charcuterie board."
"The classic chocolate-covered caramel cookie is the perfect mixture of crunchy and sweet, and it has a very specific flavor. Sommelier Jaffer Kovic, owner of Dilworth Tasting Room in Charlotte, North Carolina, says you want a wine that has a bold flavor that will match the Twix without being overpowered, like Dow's Ruby Port. "It is rich, sweet, and really fruity.""
"I mean, we all know this is the ultimate candy to snag out of the Halloween bowl, and Kovic agrees. "This one is fun and my favorite candy! Pedro Ximenez Sherry from Spain - very sweet and syrupy, with caramel, toffee, and a nuttiness to match. This is Reese's in a glass." Snickers "A Madeira (bual) or tawny port would be excellent picks," says Kovic. "I would personally go wit"
Pairing Halloween candy with wine and a charcuterie board elevates casual snacking into a richer tasting experience. Wine can mirror or contrast candy notes, while a simple charcuterie board adds savory balance without high cost. Twix benefits from a bold, fruity ruby port or a nutty tawny port to match caramel and biscuit. Reese's matches Pedro Ximenez Sherry for its syrupy sweetness, caramel and toffee notes. For nutty, chocolate-packed bars like Snickers, richer fortified wines such as Madeira (bual) or tawny port are recommended.
