Kit Kat® and Merlot. The lush red wine with plum, black currant, and spiced cocoa is a match

I’m going to attempt a 2001 Hermitage with Reese’s tonight. Will let you know the results.

I’d like to try some sourpatch kids or sour skittles with some riesling or gewurtztraminer.

Tyler, did you dress up this year? I wonder if anyone had clever wine-related costumes.

Reese’s has a dark chocolate peanut butter cup mini that I think I’d like to try with either a 10 year old tawny port or a sparkling wine. Maybe I’ll hold those back from the other candies I give out tomorrow…

I like the Cerdon and Pop Rocks idea!

For me, candy corn and Passito di Pantelleria.

Cerdon and Pop Rocks. Sweet and simple.

A good Tea, Assam or Ceylon based…Nice warm fire, and some sort of Anti Diabetes Shot or something

Wait! No one has mentioned sparkling wine yet? Okay, I’ll do it… Prosecco!?

Trentadue Chocolate Amore smells and tastes like a liquid Tootsie Roll. So there’s one pairing down.

My favorite pairing is ruby Port with Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups. Delicious!

Banfi’s Rosa Regale (Bracchetto d’acqui) works rather nicely with almost any cheap milk chocoloate. I’d try a sweet sherry with butterfingers or reeses. But this really is an exercise in masochism more than anything else, so how about Boone’s Pina Colada with almond joy?

Candy corn and chardonnay?
Special dark hershey’s miniatures and port?
Butterfinger or clark’s bars and moscato?
Or pop rocks and champagne? Like the coke/pop rocks combo, could be explosive.
Necco wafers are difficult. The new old flavors are good but they are so dry and powdery. Not sure there.
I think any fruit-flavored candy would be a hard match – Mike and Ikes, Tootsie dots, etc.

Hmm, if I was eating a mixed bag of trashy candy (plethora of chocolate bars, M&Ms, smarties, tootsie rolls, candy corn…crap like that), give me some overly sweetened Oloroso.

Williams & Humbert Walnut Brown, perhaps? Brown sugar, molasses, dark and nutty…
