Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge — Restaurant in Highlands

This is the type of place that could spoil you from ever being satisfied at one of its competitors. More like a pilgrimage for those covetous of confectionery bliss. And not just because everything here is sweet, but it's because it's done at a level most will never experience let alone achieve. Who else has pecan praline or toasted coconut ice cream? Or every kind of plump caramel candy coated nut covered apple you could ever desire? And then mountains of homemade fudge being poured onto cold marble from hot copper kettles?

From the moment you swing through the wooden door and make your way past the various displays of caramel corn and bonbons and everything else that sugar can be crafted into, you sense this place is just a wee bit different. Elevated. If the smells of cream being churned or caramel being poured make you yeild with anticipation, you belong here.

Walk up to the counter, try as many of the samples as you can handle before caving to whatever it is that grabs your attention and then take it outside, sit at one of the many wrought iron tables under the low hanging trees in the courtyard, and bask in the glow.

And don't whimp out and get your ice cream in a cup. Step up to the plate and order one of the most delicious crispy, homemade. caramel and vanilla scented waffle cones you've ever eaten ice cream out of. Who cares, you've already blown the diet. For those of us who love sweets, this is the perfect way to wrap up an active day in this beautiful part of...

I have stopped into Kilwin's several times in my life - summers as well as off-season. I have never disliked a single item I (or parents when young) have purchased. My two favorites are the peach ice cream and the caramel corn. But nothing is fair. Everything is made with care and you can tell. All delicious. I have never found it unreasonable to wait in line. This location is a boutique, small/immaculate, and this shop has a lot of regulars and a lot of newbies, so no one should be offended by being called by a number. They just want to make sure your order is right! They have been friendly, energetic and helpful and my family loves this establishment. I rec'd it to anyone new to Highlands. If you have been in Highlands, you know how...

The moment you walk in the door you are greeted with the most amazing smells of fudge, caramel apples and chocolate! I always make sure to go to kilwins to load up on their salted caramels. I recommend you get a bag of these! Their fudge is delicious, as are their truffles. The service was not great at my last visit. I waited at a register for at least 10 minutes and was completely ignored by the person working. I finally had to ask if I could be helped. She was not very friendly and finally rang me up. Be ready to drop some cash here as it is a bit pricey. On the whole, you should definitely go to Kilwins at least once in your visit...
