Your Local Denver Kilwins Store

Denver, CO Kilwins storefront

We’re the best chocolate, fudge, and ice cream store in Denver.

Located in Denver, our Kilwins store brings the finest chocolates to the heart of Colorado. Our assortment of chocolates is instantly recognizable with rich, smooth flavors. The delicious flavors we’re known for can only come from one place—the highest quality ingredients used in every step. 

Our boxed chocolates, made with our Heritage Chocolate recipe that dates back to 1947, is one thing we’re recognized for. We’re also proud of our caramel apples: We call them “perfect” for a good reason. First, we decide which Granny Smith apples are the right shape. Then, we dip them in our copper-kettle-made caramel and sprinkle them with candy, nuts, and more. Kilwins ice cream is another must-have: A waffle cone with one of our five-star flavors is the perfect complement to a sunny Denver day.

In addition to our exceptional flavors, our customer service can’t be matched. When you walk into Kilwins, it’s like entering another world. Our kind team members are excited about the chocolates they make by hand. We look forward to sharing samples of our Mackinac Island Fudge and ice cream with you so you can pick a favorite flavor (and keep trying new ones every time you come in!).

Whether you’ve come to the Mile High City to enjoy the arts scene, professional sporting events, or natural beauty, no trip is complete without visiting Kilwins. The Kilwins caramel apples with their Granny Smith base are as crisp as the Denver mountain air, and our toffee is a mouth-watering combination of sweet and savory—these are just two of the many amazing treats found at our Denver chocolate store

We are thrilled to share with Denver our Mackinac Island Fudge, made the way our founder, Don Kilwin, did many decades ago, and how it’s supposed to be made—no rushed, mass-manufactured products here. Throughout the week, our Denver team members make fudge on marble countertops by hand like they do up north on Mackinac Island in Michigan. It’s far creamier and smoother than any other fudge, and one slice is hardly enough.

From Michigan to Denver: Our Family Recipes

Kilwins, founded in 1947 by Don and Katy Kilwin in Petoskey, Michigan, began small. However, soon their dream grew, thanks to their incredible recipes and focus on quality—both in ingredients and customer service. 

Our handcrafted chocolates menu has since expanded to include dozens of sweets, including our super-premium ice cream and hand-dipped caramel apples. Our commitment to five-start ingredients and traditional techniques makes our desserts as relevant today as they were over seven decades ago.

Today, Kilwins has a home in Denver, where we uphold the nostalgic charm and incredible desserts that make Kilwins such a sweet experience. Denver’s gold rush is long over, but Kilwins brings desserts that are almost as valuable. Our Denver chocolate store is honored to continue the legacy of Katy and Don, bringing a sweet moment to everyone who walks in.

We’re More Than Chocolate: Your Favorite Ice Cream Store in Denver

Kilwins is the premier Denver ice cream store, bringing together the tradition of past confectioneries with the inventiveness of today’s Kilwins kitchen. Before our ice cream gets to you, it is made with premium ingredients that help create the creamy, rich texture Kilwins ice cream is known for. With flavors from classics like chocolate and vanilla to our flavors infused with unique inclusions, such as fudge, caramel, fruit, chocolate chips, nuts, and more. 

Kilwins started out making chocolates in 1947, and in 1985, dreamed up an incredible ice cream recipe. We consider our 1985 recipe to be peak perfection, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t thinking of new ways to make it even better. We’ve added a few things, like our Kilwins-owned and operated temperature-controlled transport trucks so the temperature of the ice cream stays at the Goldilocks level—just right. 

We created a kosher-certified ice cream incomparable to any other by working hard on our techniques and flavors. Our commitment to uncompromising quality and customer satisfaction ensures that every scoop is a delight from start to finish.

Custom Ice Cream in Denver

Take your ice cream to go in a waffle bowl and waffle cone (made by hand). At our Denver ice cream store, our skilled confectioners use waffle cone rollers to make the ultimate vessel for our award-winning ice cream. Once you pick a flavor (after a few samples, perhaps!), take a moment to think about what toppings you want. 

Our signature hot fudge and caramel toppings are some of Denver’s favorites. Add on additional toppings like sprinkles or nuts for a scoop that’s truly remarkable. 

Our Denver ice cream store welcomes you to enjoy a piece of confectionery history only available at Kilwins. We take great delight in delivering a product that reflects decades of expertise and dedication to turning ordinary days into extraordinary days with the power of Kilwins.
