Our neighbors in Plymouth flock to sample our chocolates, fudge, and ice cream. We are enthusiastic about candy-making—from sourcing the finest ingredients to carefully inspecting each product before it is placed in our display cases. 

Today, 100% of our Kilwins Heritage Chocolate is made in our own Chocolate Kitchen in Petoskey, Michigan, using Fair Trade Certified™ cacao beans, to ensure the highest quality products. Our chocolates are also kosher-certified.

Kilwins is thrilled to call Plymouth, Michigan, home. We have a soft spot for Michigan since we started not too far away in Petoskey. We’ve made a nearly endless supply of high-quality confections since we landed here. Kilwins chocolates are both beautiful and delicious. 

Our Heritage Chocolate reflects the recipe our founders used in 1947. Don and Katy Kilwin created Kilwins with the belief that nothing compares to the joy of handcrafted chocolates made and sold by people who care. 

How It’s Made at Our Downtown Plymouth Chocolate Store

At Kilwins in Plymouth, MI, our famous Mackinac Island Fudge is made right in our store using traditional hand-paddling techniques. Watching hot fudge being poured on cool, white marble slabs feels almost magical. The marble cools the fudge, hardening into slices as a Kilwins cook pushes and pulls the fudge back and forth. This is how Mackinac Island Fudge was made in the 1940s and how we make it today. 

Some of our standout offerings include our caramel apples, which are as visually striking as they are delicious—which is why we call them “perfect.” They start as flawless Granny Smith apples and are hand-dipped in our signature, handcrafted caramel.

Ask a team member to box up a few TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels, a delicious, Kilwins-specific twist on a classic chocolate caramel nut cluster. Our TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels are a long-standing favorite in Plymouth. 

As you step into our Downtown Plymouth chocolate store, you’re welcomed by our friendly and inviting atmosphere, making our chocolates even more irresistible.

We’re More Than Chocolate: Your Favorite Ice Cream Store in Downtown Plymouth, MI

Our ice cream selection is the finest in the Metro Detroit area (and beyond!). Our flavors range from classic choices like vanilla and chocolate to inventive and unique creations in nearly every color of the rainbow. 

Each scoop starts with premium ingredients, resulting in that rich and creamy texture that made our Original Recipe Ice Cream so famous. Customize your treat with a variety of toppings (like handcrafted hot fudge, hot caramel, or chocolate chips) to get your dream cone.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like if every day was your birthday, simply walk into the Kilwins Downtown Plymouth ice cream store. Kilwins ice cream is famous for flavor combinations that surprise and delight. Our recipe today still reflects the original one from 1985: At Kilwins, we don’t mess around with perfection.

Waffle bowls and waffle cones are made fresh daily at our Downtown Plymouth ice cream store to ensure they are perfect. Each waffle bowl and cone is baked to a golden crisp that contrasts beautifully with our creamy frozen desserts. 

To get the iconic Kilwins waffle cone, we first hand-mix the batter and carefully cook each piece on traditional waffle irons, giving them their signature texture and rich taste. Waffle cones (and waffle bowls) add a new flavor to your favorite ice cream. Not to mention, the handcrafted charm brings a dash of nostalgia to an already wonderful experience.

Why Kilwins is the best Downtown Plymouth ice cream store

Besides the incredible recipe and use of the highest quality ingredients, how else is our ice cream so amazing? The answer to that question lies where tradition meets modern invention.

We own and operate Kilwins-only ice cream transport trucks designed to maintain the perfect temperature that we can carefully monitor and adjust. When we control every aspect of the drive with our advanced cooling systems, nothing can threaten the integrity of our ice cream. Now, our chilled confections arrive perfectly creamy at the Downtown Plymouth ice cream store we’re so proud of. 

Our goal at Kilwins Plymouth is to create happy memories. That starts with creating first-rate desserts. Kilwins ice cream is the ultimate treat to finish off your day in our picturesque town. Even if you are just passing through, you’ll get the same award-winning customer service that earned us our spot as a local favorite.
