Look, the kids can have the fun-size wrappers, but the real Halloween treat is figuring out which bottle of wine goes with your candy stash.

Wine expert Sandra Guibord has laid out some pairings, and honestly? We are here for it.

  • Prosecco pairs with Sour Patch Kids and Starbursts if you like a little sweet-and-sour action.
  • Chardonnay handles the heavy lifting for KitKats and Butterfingers.
  • Cabernet Sauvignon is the power move for Snickers, Reese’s, and dark chocolate.
  • Pinot Noir works with M&M’s or Red Vines.
  • Sauvignon Blanc matches up with Peach Rings and Lemon Drops.

So yeah, your leftover candy bowl is officially a wine-tasting flight. Just remember to save a couple of Reese’s for the kids. Or don’t. Zero judgment here.
