Red Licorice: Moscato
No matter how many Red Vines you eat, the chewy texture calls for something that’s slightly sweet.

Sour Patch Kids: Champagne
A candy this sour requires a chaser that’s acidic enough to cleanse your palate, but fancy enough to savor each bite.
Snickers: White Zinfandel
Mmmm, nougat topped with caramel and peanuts. You’ll need something nutty—with a hint of spice—to draw out the range of flavors packed into the bar.
Butterfinger: Pinot Grigio
The roasted peanut butter layer is sweet, which is why this wine (and its citrusy notes) is the perfect pair.

Skittles: Sauvignon Blanc
The dry and zesty flavors cut right through the sweetness in this candy so you can really taste the rainbow.
Starburst: Pinot Noir
The berry flavors in this red elegantly match the cherry, raspberry and fruity flavors of this mouthwatering (and easy-to-unwrap) treat.
