When you need to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Kilwins is the place to be. Our assortment of sweets includes premium chocolates, our Mackinac Island Fudge, caramel apples, and more. Kilwins is the perfect place to treat yourself, a friend, or a family member to a classic, handcrafted dessert.
Many of our products are handcrafted by our team of professional confectioners. We use old proprietary recipes that were developed by our founders in the 1940s. Each product is specially made using first-rate ingredients and made with love.
Witness the magic of fudge-making from inside our store or from our large outside window. Our team members use traditional hand-paddling techniques to craft each flavor of our signature fudge. If you’re lucky, you can even try a piece straight off the counter!
The historic city of Philadelphia is famous for its cultural and artistic marvels. There’s never a dull moment in Philly, from extravagant festivals and events to relaxing outdoor getaways.
Our products are the perfect complement to a day out in Philly. Enjoy a bite of our handcrafted fudge before heading to Philadelphia's Magic Gardens or share a bag of traditionally made caramel corn after watching the Philadelphia 76ers or the Philadelphia Flyers.
In 1947, Don and Katy Kilwin opened the first Kilwins store in Michigan, which allowed them to share their passion for candy-making with others. Today, Kilwins is proud to call Philadelphia home.
Stepping inside our Philadelphia chocolate store is an experience in and of itself. If you come in, you might just get to watch our dessert artists hard at work making your favorite snacks.
The smells of chocolate, fudge, and waffle cones are enough to make your mouth water. The waffle cones, like our fudge and many chocolates, are made by hand. While we’ve added and upgraded our appliances to meet growing demand and modern possibilities, we believe that maintaining the classic tools is a large part of what makes our Kilwins chocolates so special.
Looking for fruit with a new flavor? Try the Kilwins caramel apples, all made right here in our store. We call them our perfect caramel apples because of their taste and appearance—basically, they’re flawless.
We only select the best Granny Smith apples to be our base, which we hand-dip in our handcrafted caramel. The result is a delicious piece of caramel goodness that can also be enjoyed with a coating of milk chocolate, nuts, and more.

When days get hot in Philly, drop by our Philadelphia ice cream store to cool down. Kilwins is home to a wide variety of super-premium flavors, all of which are kosher-certified. Made with the finest ingredients, our Original Recipe Ice Cream boasts a richness that no other ice cream parlor can replicate.
We first introduced ice cream to our menu in 1985. We keep our fan-favorite chocolate, vanilla, mint chocolate chip, and other classics while also bringing in new, creative, and limited-edition flavors for our Philly neighbors.
Pair your scoop with any of our delicious toppings, including chocolate chips, nuts, our signature caramel and hot fudge, and more. Then, our waffle cones and bowls make the perfect base for your ice cream. We make our waffle cones and bowls right here behind the counter of our Philadelphia chocolate store. We use hand-mixed batter and traditional waffle irons to give you a fresh, crispy cone every time.
We only bring our ice cream to our Philadelphia ice cream store when it meets our very high standards, and it is considered super-premium based on the recipe used.
First, we use only the finest ingredients to serve as our ice cream’s foundation. Additionally, Kilwins operates our own climate-controlled vehicles. Our trucks regulate our ice cream’s temperature and prevent it from melting (or freezing too much) before it reaches our Philadelphia ice cream store.
This process results in the extra-smooth scoops of kosher-certified ice cream that our customers know and love.
Kilwins is the best Philadelphia ice cream store because we pay close attention to every part of our process, from finding the right ingredients to proper transportation and maintenance. We hold our ice cream to the highest standards possible.
Our ice cream, waffle cones, and signature toppings are all made with care and passion, which is why customers continue to flock to our store. At Kilwins, you have dozens of options for flavors and delicious options for toppings, hot fudge, and caramel. That means your ice cream can be nearly entirely custom, and you can have a totally different dessert with each visit.
Looking for other options? Choose from a variety of ice-cream-based drinks like milkshakes, malts, and floats. We also have a menu of ice cream sundae favorites, or you can build your own sundae exactly the way you like it. From ice cream to sundaes, we have the perfect frozen dessert for you!
Our Philadelphia chocolate store has something for everyone. Start off with our 1947 Heritage Milk, Dark, or White Chocolate in bar form, then move on to the rest of the sweets in our gleaming glass cases. We love sharing rich chocolate truffles, TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels, Milk Chocolate Almond Toffee Crunch, and chocolate nut clusters.
