Hot items at 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 your 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 made by hand as well. We make our caramel sauce in copper kettles as Don Kilwin did in 1947.
Finally, our truffles and Heritage chocolates 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—we use the same recipe Don Kilwin formulated back in the 1940s. Eating one is like stepping back in history.
