The Best Wine to Pair with Your Easter Candy [LIST]

Experts are sharing the best wine to pair with some popular Easter candies, so you can make the most of the holiday haul.

  • Jelly beans and sauvignon blanc - Some folks believe the only way to eat jelly beans is by the fistful, which means you’re tasting a dozen different flavors at once. That can make pairing tricky, but sauvignon blanc is here for it. This white wine can help balance all those flavors for an ideal pairing.
  • Chocolate bunny and cabernet sauvignon - If you’re into Easter candy that’s simple and delicious, nothing beats a chocolate bunny and you’ll need a pairing that’s straightforward to go with it. A cabernet sauvignon with flavors of raspberries and ripe cherries is a great match for the strong cocoa in the bunny.
  • Peeps and chardonnay - When you think of Easter candy, Peeps are one of the classics, but as cute as they are, they’re really just sweet mush. You’ll need a nice, crisp wine to contrast all that sugar, and a chardonnay with flavors of apple and pear will do the trick. It will help enhance the Peeps, not just overwhelm them.
  • Reese’s Eggs and merlot - There’s a lot of terrible Easter candy out there, but Reese’s eggs aren’t one of them. The tasty holiday-shaped peanut butter and chocolate treat is excellent on its own, but it also goes perfectly with a merlot with notes of cherry, vanilla and chocolate.
