“Picturesque” is a word often used to describe the quiet town of Ludington, and the chocolates, treats, and confections available at your Kilwins Ludington chocolate store are equally as charming. Kilwins handcrafted chocolates are the image of perfection—pleasing to both the eyes and the taste buds.
Inside Kilwins, you’ll find a selection of the best chocolates in Michigan (and the world). From creams to caramels, nut clusters to truffles, our wide selection of chocolates includes something for everyone. Popular offerings include our world-famous Mackinac Island Fudge in various flavors. Be sure to ask for a sample or two so you can decide which of our creamy fudge combinations you like best.
Our chocolates and fudge take their places next to our colorful caramel apples. Kilwins perfect caramel apples are hand-dipped in our copper-kettle cooked caramel and you can choose to have it topped with a layer of our Heritage Chocolate, premium nuts, or sprinkled with sea salt. Our glass cases show off iconic Kilwins treats, and no matter what you pick, you’ll love it. Our commitment to quality means people love our chocolates and the experience of shopping for them.
Kilwins has been the home of master chocolatiers since 1947. Our founders, Don and Katy Kilwin, took pride in perfecting every recipe and infusing their products with the finest ingredients to ensure that their chocolates and confections were unlike any other their customers had tried.
Kilwins Ludington is located a few blocks from the shores of Lake Michigan, making it the ideal place to cool off in the lakeshore breeze, enjoy dessert, and soak up the small-town feel of Ludington. We are just steps from the Sandcastles Children’s Museum and are often visited by museum-goers for post-museum conversations and ice cream.
The Kilwins experience includes a laid-back, family-friendly environment where you can enjoy the company of your favorite people while making your day even more memorable. Great memories are made at Kilwins over tins of perfectly popped caramel corn and waffle cones filled with our Original Recipe Ice Cream.
Your go-to Ludington ice cream store is Kilwins. We’re more than your favorite Ludington chocolate store; we also offer our Original Recipe Ice Cream. Kilwins ice cream has made us a Ludington favorite thanks to its creamy texture and imaginative flavors.
Our classic flavor lineup includes traditional flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and mint chocolate chip. Kilwins Ludington also offers flavors that include our confections, like Mackinac Island Fudge bits, buttery caramel ribbons, and chunks of chocolates. You can order these Kilwins exclusive flavors in one of our freshly made-in-store waffle cones or waffle bowls.
Our ice cream counter brings you scoops of our exclusive flavors and more. We also whip up classic milkshakes, old-fashioned malts, and ice cream sundaes with an array of toppings.
Choose from our most beloved sundaes, or create your own by combining your choice of ice cream flavors, hot fudge or caramel topping, and nuts. You’ll love the super-premium quality of our ice cream, along with how friendly everyone at our Ludington ice cream store is—it feels like home.
Like many Kilwins products, our Original Recipe Ice Cream is kosher-certified. Made with the highest-quality ingredients, our ice cream stands out because of our commitment to combining premium inclusions and the richest flavors. This is what makes us an ice cream lover’s dream come true.
Our ice cream is held at a consistent temperature from creation to consumption, thanks to the development of our proprietary packaging and transportation methods. Temperature-controlled trucks, for example, keep our ice cream perfectly chilled so our guests experience the creamiest ice cream possible.
Our Original Recipe Ice Cream can only be found at Kilwins stores. That means that the local Ludington chocolate store you’ve come to cherish is also the best place to get our famous ice cream that was first added to the menu back in 1985.
Our friendly staff members are always ready to help you try a new flavor by giving out free samples and suggesting new combinations. You’ll find a warm smile, an inviting atmosphere, and sweet treats to make everyone smile. We’re the perfect spot for entertaining family, friends, and even business acquaintances.
