It all started with crackers, naturally. Shortly after, we expanded the cheese-pairing possibilities to cookies (a sweeter cracker, some might argue). And now, we’re here to complete our cheesy trilogy with the ultimate sugary base: candy.
This sweet-and-savory extravaganza includes 10 of our favorite chocolatey, fruity, sour, and spicy candies. You can find all of these in stores year-round (with the exception of maybe candy corn, which you can make yourself if need be). But now is when you’ll find bulk bags of these fun-sized sweets everywhere. Bonus: They’ll be on sale VERY soon, so stock up so you can turn out the sweetest cheese boards this holiday season.
