Top-selling items at our Kilwins Harbor Springs chocolate store include our signature Mackinac Island Fudge, known far and wide for its rich and creamy texture. We also have frequent requests for our dipped items, such as chocolate-covered fruit, pretzels, cookies, and marshmallows.
Our caramel apples, coated with nuts or a chocolate drizzle, are another much-loved item. We only use top-tier Granny Smith apples and dip them in caramel (by hand). The caramel is handcrafted in copper kettles, just as Don Kilwin did in 1947.
Finally, our truffles and Heritage Chocolate bars are known for their rich, smooth flavors. Each truffle is made with care and inspected by hand. Our Heritage Chocolates are called that for a reason—they are inspired by the original recipe Don Kilwin formulated back in the 1940s. Eating one is like stepping back in history.
