Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge — Restaurant in Madison

Just opening the door you get a breeze of the surgery treats made inside. It rushes you back to the old style candy shops. The first thing noticed is the work station is placed right in front of the bay window. I was there close to closing so they weren't currently making anything but it was clear they make on sight the waffle cones and chocolates. Continuing to walk past the display case is an assortment of handmade truffles, turtles, peanut butter cups, and candies. Following that up is the ice cream display. Again several flavors to choose from. They provide free samples to help you pick. In the middle of the room there are delicious looking candies such as gummy bears and lemon drops that are pre-packaged. During my visit I ordered an assortment of truffles all of which were melt in your mouth amazing. However if I had to pick a favorite I would say the lemon! My friends ordered ice cream. Two of them got the apple pie ice cream which they said had chunks of real apple and pie crust making it the best ice cream they had...

A national chain that feels more like a local shop with staff that put love into their craft.

The selection of sweet treats is vast. From fudge to hard candy and everything in between, you better have your dentist on call. My personal favorite are their sanded lemon drops. On my most recent visit, they were not out for display, but I spotted one behind the counter and they were kind enough to sell them to me.

They also have ice cream here that I’ve heard is really wonderful. I have not tried it because The Chocolate Shoppe is a block away and I go to Kilwin’s for their other treats, but just know that you have ice...

As always, amazing visual experience even before I get a chance to taste the chocolates and treats. The presentation of the chocolates is really a great courtesy to the customer; it's like an edible art display!

The ice creams are great, too! The cinnamon crumb something or other is worth a same-day repeat visit! I love peanut butter and chocolate and this chain never disappoints. I didn't get to try the rice krispie treat dipped in peanut butter then double-dipped in milk chocolate! I'll be back for that one.

Located in downtown Madison. Nearby parking seemed available; I strolled upon this one, as we discovered the interesting neighborhood close to the capital and proximate to...
