Halloween candy isn’t just a nostalgic treat; it can also make an incredible pairing for high-quality cheese. So, don your costume, and let us take you on a journey through candy and cheese pairings that we’re totally sweet on. This is a decadent and decidedly adult way to celebrate Halloween.
New York State Yellow Cheddar + Candy Corn
Opposites attract, so slice into this bright, tangy cheddar to balance the intense honey sweetness of candy corn.
Murray’s Estate Gouda + Nougat Caramel Peanut Chocolate Bar
It's like with like! The nutty notes of the gouda are the perfect complement to the toasty peanuts layered into this bar.
La Noix d’Argental + Caramel Popcorn
This cheese is washed in walnut liquor, giving it a distinct sweetness. It’s a no brainer pairing for toasty caramel corn.
Zimbro + Sour Rope Candy
Reach for something puckery tart to match this tangy wheel. Plus, the custardy cheese will cling to the textured candy.
Fromager d'Affinois + Cherry-Flavored Candy
For a playful take on the classic combo of luscious, buttery double crème and fresh fruit, swap in chewy cherry candy.
