Welcome to Kilwins, the perfect destination for all things sweet and chocolatey. Nestled in the heart of Holland, Michigan, Kilwins is home to our special handcrafted desserts. Our menu has expanded since the 1940s, so you will never run out of options. Drop by our Holland chocolate store after the Tulip Time Festival or enjoy Mackinac Island Fudge after a trip to the lakefront.
Our mission here at Kilwins is to share our love of chocolates with the world. Many of our products are carefully crafted by hand. Here at Kilwins, our customers are our priority, so we always do our best to present beautiful and delicious desserts that satisfy cravings and brighten up days.
The only difficult part of a Kilwins journey is deciding which delicious treat to indulge in—a true sweet dilemma! Fortunately, you can ask for free samples of select items, including our Original Recipe Ice Cream and Heritage Chocolate bars. We’re happy to give you a sneak peek of what Kilwins has to offer. From our iconic caramel apples and boxed chocolates to our wide variety of ice cream flavors, there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy!
Driven by their love of all things sweet, founders Don and Katy Kilwin got into the dessert business back in 1947. They started by selling chocolates and baked goods before they expanded into the Kilwins products we know today. The current lineup features our proprietary TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels, Heritage Chocolate bark, Original Recipe Ice Cream and so much more.
Here at Kilwins, we combine old-school techniques with modern technology. We have mastered the art of dipping and decorating many of our desserts by hand since our doors first opened. This is our recipe for success. Our Holland chocolate store always puts our best foot forward and makes our treats look and taste just as our founders envisioned.
We have three simple values: Treat others the way you want to be treated, do your best, and have fun. We apply these values in our everyday operations as we strive to become the best versions of ourselves and create desserts that create joy and positivity.
With exceptional customer service and a dedicated team of in-house confectioners, Kilwins aims to be a place where people can be comfortable and experience the finer things. Our purpose is to make magic and make people happy—the driving forces behind everything we do.
Kilwins current lineup is inspired by the original recipes from our founders, Don and Katy Kilwin. We uphold the tradition of sticking to the proprietary recipe we know while also innovating and coming up with new ones along the way. These efforts result in our wide range of treats with flavors everyone can enjoy.
Kilwins controls the entire process, from handcrafting each piece to ensuring they end up on store shelves looking and tasting absolutely perfect. Our Holland chocolate store uses a mix of both new equipment, including some Heritage equipment that dates way back to the 40s.

Along with our award-winning chocolate, we are also the number one Holland ice cream store. When you need to cool down after a long, tiring day, you are always welcome to try our Original Recipe Ice Cream, which is a staple of Kilwins. Our ice cream counter is often bustling with customers trying out free samples or taking a freshly made waffle cone to enjoy on the go.
Our ice cream journey started in 1985, and over the years, we have dedicated ourselves to perfecting this dessert until it was the best it could possibly be. We are proud to call our ice cream super-premium with a consistency and deliciousness that you cannot find in other ice cream parlors.
Like with our chocolates and candy, we use only the finest ingredients. Our customers deserve the best. Kilwins Original Recipe Ice Cream is also kosher-certified, just like many of our other proprietary products.
At Kilwins, we run and operate our own climate-controlled trucks that are specialized to maintain an ideal temperature and consistency for our ice cream. Every step of the process is carefully monitored so that the first bite of ice cream is flawless every time.
When trying a scoop of our Original Recipe Ice Cream, get ready for an explosion of flavor.
You can’t go wrong with classic flavors like chocolate, mint chocolate, and vanilla. Of course, there is always room to be more adventurous, which is what our assorted flavors are all about. Take a bite of our unique flavors, exclusive to Kilwins, at our Holland ice cream store.
No ice cream would be complete without toppings, like our kettle-cooked caramel and hot chocolate fudge. Let your imagination run wild as you create amazing combinations by also adding on chocolate chips, marshmallows, nuts, and more. We are all about our customers; we want to give them as many options as possible. After picking your ice cream and toppings, finish it off with a delicious, freshly made waffle cone for the perfect blend of soft creaminess and warm crunch.
We earned the title of the best Holland ice cream store thanks to our unwavering commitment to quality and exceptional customer experience. We go the extra mile to offer the most premium ice cream selection, featuring exclusive flavors. From sourcing the finest ingredients to operating Kilwins-owned climate-controlled trucks that maintain temperature and consistency, we always put the customer first and handle all our products with the utmost care before they reach our store.
Our dedication starts long before the chocolates are placed in little boxes. We carefully review the health and growth of our cocoa trees, which produce the Fair Trade Certified™ cocoa beans that we use to create our famous Heritage Chocolate.
Kilwins offers a wide selection of chocolate, ranging from truffles to nut clusters, as well as our trademark TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels. We are also proud of our kosher-certified Heritage Chocolate, available in classic milk, white, and dark varieties.
