Whether you’re a parent whose eating their kid’s stolen candy, there’s a surplus of candy in the office, or you just have extra candy trick-or-treaters didn’t take, have you ever thought of pairing that candy with booze? “Lifehacker” has shared their best Halloween candy and booze pairings for you to try.
- Regular or Sour Skittles and Muscat. Skittles have a tangy acidic flavor, which pairs well with an off-dry, high acidity muscat.
- Kit Kats and tawny port. Kit kat’s are very sweet, which is why a high alcohol content wine will complement it.
- Snickers and a ruby port. Ruby port is high in alcohol, making it great for the sweetness of the snickers. Plus, it’ll give a layer of fruitiness.
- Reese’s peanut butter cups and sherry. A sherry will enhance the peanut butter’s flavor and also balance the sweetness of them.
- Butterfingers and tawny ports. Butterfingers are more crunchy and less creamy, so a tawny port will make the toffee and caramel notes even more tasteful.
- Starbursts and Riesling. Riesling has a lower alcohol, high acidity, and won’t interfere with the fruity flavors of Starbursts.
- Candy corn and prosecco. Love it or hate it, candy corn is very Bubbles can help cleanse the sugar coating from your mouth, making prosecco a great choice.
- Gummy bears and chardonnay. A chardonnay will counteract the sugary gumminess of the bears.
