Your Local Gettysburg Kilwins Store

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

Chocolate lovers and fudge fans know the best place for dessert in historic Gettysburg is Kilwins. You can smell the sweet aroma of our in-store, handcrafted confections from the sidewalk. When you enter, you’ll see our experienced bakers creating your favorite sweets in our open kitchen. 

For example, we paddle our Mackinac Island Fudge by hand on a marble slab and cook our caramel in copper kettles. And, from fruit to cookies, we hand-dip many snacks in our Heritage Chocolate.

Our signature Kilwins Heritage Chocolate comes in milk, dark, and white chocolate. We use it in our creamy truffles, smooth creams, crunchy bark, and TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels. If you’re unsure which variety to choose from, our friendly team members can offer you a sample of our chocolate bars to help you decide.

As you explore the numerous historic sights in Gettysburg, why not check out another piece of our country’s history? Kilwins is an American success story started by Don and Katy Kilwin over 75 years ago. 

Our founders were determined to make the best chocolate possible using the finest ingredients and candy-making procedures. To this day, our original recipes and combination of traditional and modern equipment carry out Don and Katy’s mission. 

In addition to superb sweets, the Kilwins founders wanted their stores to showcase an experience that welcomed guests and made customers feel like family. With our made-in-store craftsmanship and approachable staff, our Gettysburg chocolate store sets the bar high for excellent customer service. 

Our central location makes it easy to pick up dessert after dinner, grab a snack between sightseeing, or stop and rest during a busy day. You can munch on our perfect caramel apple as you head to nearby Lincoln Square, eat a slice of fudge after visiting the Gettysburg Museum of History, or choose one of our many boxed assorted chocolates to enjoy later.
