Chocolate lovers and fudge fans know the best place for dessert in historic Gettysburg is Kilwins. You can smell the sweet aroma of our in-store, handcrafted confections from the sidewalk. When you enter, you’ll see our experienced bakers creating your favorite sweets in our open kitchen.
For example, we paddle our Mackinac Island Fudge by hand on a marble slab and cook our caramel in copper kettles. And, from fruit to cookies, we hand-dip many snacks in our Heritage Chocolate.
Our signature Kilwins Heritage Chocolate comes in milk, dark, and white chocolate. We use it in our creamy truffles, smooth creams, crunchy bark, and TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels. If you're unsure which variety to choose from, our friendly team members can offer you a sample of our chocolate bars to help you decide.
As you explore the numerous historic sights in Gettysburg, why not check out another piece of our country’s history? Kilwins is an American success story started by Don and Katy Kilwin over 75 years ago.
Our founders were determined to make the best chocolate possible using the finest ingredients and candy-making procedures. To this day, our original recipes and combination of traditional and modern equipment carry out Don and Katy’s mission.
In addition to superb sweets, the Kilwins founders wanted their stores to showcase an experience that welcomed guests and made customers feel like family. With our made-in-store craftsmanship and approachable staff, our Gettysburg chocolate store sets the bar high for excellent customer service.
Our central location makes it easy to pick up dessert after dinner, grab a snack between sightseeing, or stop and rest during a busy day. You can munch on our perfect caramel apple as you head to nearby Lincoln Square, eat a slice of fudge after visiting the Gettysburg Museum of History, or choose one of our many boxed assorted chocolates to enjoy later.
Kilwins is not only the most popular chocolate shop in town but also a beloved Gettysburg ice cream store. We are just as dedicated to creating delicious ice cream as we are to making tasty candy. With dozens of flavors, premium toppings, and freshly handcrafted waffle cones (and waffle bowls), there’s something for everyone at Kilwins.
The Kilwins ice cream recipe has stood the test of time and delighted customers for decades: Our Original Recipe Ice Cream was developed in 1985 and has since been perfected.
We transport the ice cream using our fleet of temperature-controlled trucks to help protect the consistency and texture.
In addition to offering rich, smooth ice cream, we make our waffle cones and bowls right here in our Gettysburg ice cream store. When you visit us, you can watch our amazing confectioners create delicious goodies in our open kitchen. We also serve milkshakes and sundaes topped with hot fudge and caramel.
Kilwins stands out because of our commitment to quality confections, outstanding customer service, and a unique in-store experience. With a history that goes all the way back to 1947, our superior flavors are here to please.
