Kilwins has served the finest sweet and salty treats in our conveniently located Blowing Rock store since 1990. Once inside, it’s clear why we’re Blowing Rock’s favorite chocolate, fudge, and ice cream shop.
Kilwins has been creating our handcrafted chocolates, copper kettle-cooked caramel, hand-paddled Mackinac Island Fudge, and Original Recipe Ice Cream for decades. We still make our sweets in-store, honoring the traditions of the chefs before us. Finding the flavor you love is as easy as asking one of our staff members for help.
Our ice cream flavors and chocolates can change with the season, so make sure to try them before they leave. Of course, we offer our Heritage chocolates all year round so you can taste the flavors that made us famous. No matter what kind of treat you crave, we have the perfect match.
In our gleaming candy case, you’ll find confections that look as good as they taste. Our customers describe visits to Kilwins as a total sensory experience. From the aromas of our made-in-house fudge and the dozens of delicious treats to our exceptional customer service, our Blowing Rock Main Street chocolate store completes every day out.
For folks looking to escape the city and enjoy North Carolina nature at its finest, the Blue Ridge Mountains are second to none. Whether your visit to Blowing Rock involves adventures in fishing, kayaking, touring our famous rock formation itself, or simply enjoying the variety of original restaurants and shops, a stop by Kilwins is a must.
If you’re local and haven’t yet visited, we invite you to come experience what your neighbors have been talking about. We’re everyone’s favorite for a reason, and we are so much more than a high-quality sweet shop.
We began as America’s number-one chocolate, caramel, and fudge store in 1947 and added ice cream to our lineup in 1985. Our ice cream is richer and creamier thanks to our commitment to the highest quality ingredients. Try our dozens of flavors made with locally sourced milk and cream and made-in-house mix-ins. Ask for a sample of our Original Recipe Ice Cream and find your newest favorite dessert.
Kilwins ice cream starts with dairy from family farms—all of our ice cream is made from the freshest milk and cream available. Combining this high-quality dairy with carefully selected ingredients results in our superior classic flavors and unique offerings found only at Kilwins.
We use our own freezing technique and expertly package our ice cream so it arrives at the Blowing Rock Main Street chocolate store fresh. We have climate-controlled trucks that get our ice cream to you, ensuring a consistent texture and taste.
Enjoy a scoop of our ice cream in our handcrafted, made-in-store waffle cones. There’s just something magical about the first bite of Kilwins’ creamy ice cream combined with the crisp crunch of a subtly sweet waffle cone.
Ice cream isn’t the only frozen treat we’re excited to share. Our ice cream counter operates like an old-timey soda shop, offering thick, rich milkshakes and malts.
You can also order an ice cream sundae with all the fixings or create your own with our original Mackinac Island Fudge or caramel sauce. Finish by adding nuts, sprinkles, or any other additions you’d like.
At Kilwins, we are committed to the service aspect of our business just as much as we are committed to providing you with the premium chocolate, fudge, and ice cream products you love. When you enter our Blowing Rock Main Street ice cream store, you’ll time travel back to Mid-Century America, when ice cream parlors were the place to be.
Our team members know our products and are always ready to answer questions about them. Our confectioners may be busy cooking our caramel in shiny copper kettles or hand-paddling fresh fudge, but our counter staff is happy to explain the detailed processes of how our treats are created.
