Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti

Brittle can be paired with Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.
