Located in Denver, our Kilwins store brings the finest chocolates to the heart of Colorado. Our assortment of chocolates is instantly recognizable with rich, smooth flavors. The delicious flavors we're known for can only come from one place— the highest quality ingredients used in every step.
Our boxed chocolates, made with our Heritage recipe that dates back to 1947, is one thing we’re recognized for. We’re also proud of our caramel apples: We call them perfect for a good reason. First, we decide which Granny Smith apples are the right shape and taste. Then, we coat them in our copper kettle-made caramel and sprinkle them with candy, nuts, and more. Kilwins ice cream is another must-have: A waffle cone with one of our five-star flavors is the perfect complement to a sunny Denver day.
In addition to our exceptional flavors, our customer service can’t be matched. When you walk into Kilwins, it’s like entering another world. Our kind staff is excited about the chocolate they make by hand. We look forward to sharing samples of our Mackinac Island Fudge and ice cream with you so you can pick a favorite flavor (and keep trying new ones every time you come in!).
Whether you’ve come to the Mile High Sky to enjoy the arts scene, professional sporting events, or natural beauty, no trip is complete without visiting Kilwins. The Kilwins caramel apples with their Granny Smith base are as crisp as the Denver mountain air, and our toffee has a mouth-watering combination of sweet and savory—these are just two of the many amazing treats found at our Denver chocolate store.
We are thrilled to share with Denver Mackinac Island Fudge, made the way Don did in the 1940s, and how it’s supposed to be made—no rushed, mass-manufactured products here. Every day, our Denver team makes fudge on marble countertops by hand like they do up north on Mackinac Island in Michigan. It’s far creamier and smoother than other fudge, and one slice is hardly enough.
Kilwins, founded in 1947 by Don and Katy Kilwin in Petoskey, Michigan, began small. However, soon their dream grew, thanks to their incredible recipes and focus on quality—both in ingredients and customer service.
Our handcrafted chocolates and ice cream menu expanded to include dozens of sweets, including caramel apples and ice cream. Our commitment to five-start ingredients and traditional techniques makes our desserts as relevant today as they were over seven decades ago.
Today, Kilwins has come home to Denver, where we uphold the nostalgic charm and incredible desserts that make Kilwins such a sweet experience. Denver’s gold rush is long over, but Kilwins brings a new dessert that’s almost as valuable. Our Denver chocolate store is honored to continue the legacy of Katy and Don, bringing a sweet moment to everyone who walks in.
Kilwins is the premier Denver ice cream store, bringing together the tradition of past pastry chefs with the inventiveness of today’s Kilwins kitchen. Before our ice cream gets to you, it starts on family farms. We work with local farms to source milks and creams that help create the creamy, rich texture Kilwins ice cream is known for. With flavors from classics like chocolate and vanilla to our flavors infused with Mackinac Island Fudge, chocolate chips, nuts, and more.
Kilwins started with chocolates in 1947, and in 1985, we dreamed up an incredible ice cream recipe. We consider our 1985 recipe to be peak perfection, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t thinking of new ways to make it even better. We’ve added a few things, like our Kilwins-owned and operated ice cream temperature-controlled transport vans so the temperatures stay at the Goldilocks level—just right.
We created a Kosher-certified ice cream incomparable to any other by working hard on our techniques and flavors. Our commitment to uncompromising quality and customer satisfaction ensures that every scoop is a delight from start to finish.
Take your ice cream to go in a waffle bowl and waffle cone (made by hand). At our Denver ice cream store, our skilled confectioners use waffle cone rollers to make the ultimate vessel for our award-winning ice cream. Once you pick a flavor (after a few samples, perhaps!), take a moment to think about what toppings you want.
Chocolate fudge and caramel sauce are some of Denver’s favorites. Adding in toppings like candy or Mackinac Island Fudge for a scoop that’s truly remarkable.
Our Denver ice cream store welcomes you to enjoy a piece of confectionary history only available at Kilwins. We take great delight in delivering a product that reflects decades of expertise and dedication to making ordinary days into extraordinary days with the power of Kilwins.
Our Denver ice cream store boasts the same exceptional quality you'll find at any Kilwins location. There’s a good reason for that—we make sure to follow Don and Katy’s instructions to the letter. The art is in the process for us; Kilwins ice cream starts as milk and cream sourced from the best family-run local farms. We make it carefully, ensuring the temperature and consistency are perfect by custom-designing our ice cream tubs and making our own temperature-controlled vehicles.
Our flavors are endlessly creative, limited-edition flavors are newsworthy, and our classics, like vanilla and chocolate, are award-worthy. What makes a Kilwins cup truly memorable is how it’s served—with a smile. Find your favorite flavors by trying a few samples and then add your choice of high-quality toppings, from Mackinac Island Fudge to chocolate chips and our handmade hot fudge.
At this Denver Kilwins, we recommend trying town favorites, including chocolates like our classic milk, dark, and white varieties, plus our Heritage chocolate recipe. Our handmade truffles, caramels, and nut clusters reimagine what dessert can be. Denver residents also say they love the Kilwins chocolate-dipped pretzels, cookies, marshmallows, and fruit, calling it the best of both worlds.
Of course! We would love to help you with your order. Our Denver chocolate store is famous for special orders, including party favors, gift baskets, and boxed assortments of chocolates that are as delicious as they are stunning.
One look at our menu, and you’re guaranteed to find something that sparks your imagination!
