Ever since we opened the doors of our first location in 1947, we have prided ourselves on making some of, if not the finest chocolates, anywhere in America. From classic toffee confections to silky smooth, handcrafted creams to our Sea-Salt Collection and so much more, we carry a wide array of chocolates, all made using our original recipes. No matter what chocolate you love most, we guarantee it will be hard to only take one bite.
If you’re looking for something a bit cooler to tide you over on a hot day, try one—or more—of our original recipe ice creams. This rich, high-quality treat is made from only the finest ingredients and combined with toppings like nuts, chocolate chips, fruits, caramel, and more. Only sold at Kilwins, try one of our dozens of flavors and find out which one is your favorite.
Here at our Arlington Heights chocolate store, we carry a delicious range of hand-crafted and original recipe chocolates, fudge, and ice creams to satisfy every sweet tooth.
We also carry a selection of Mackinac Island Fudge, hand-crafted by our candy cooks, unlike any other in the world. From chocolate to peanut butter to caramel and more, we promise you won’t be disappointed.
As we’ve continued to grow our business since Kilwins first opened in 1947, maintaining the exceptional quality Don and Katy Kilwin strove for remains key to our success. Every single store we operate sells chocolates, fudge, and ice cream made in our own facilities, with only the finest ingredients we can source from local family farms.
We take these extra steps to ensure that all of our customers visiting any one of our Kilwins stores have access to the same high-quality treats. At our Arlington Heights chocolate store, we use the same methods from Don and Katy Kilwin, and many current team members were taught by their protégés.
Kilwins takes pride in this passing down of processes and traditions and uses some of the same equipment to make our products that we did back in the 1940s. While we’ve upgraded and modernized our facilities in the preceding decades, we’ve kept much of what makes Kilwins a nostalgic Americana-style chocolatier and ice cream maker.
We’re excited to share our joy with you, so stop by our Arlington Heights, Illinois spot and find out why Kilwins is beloved by so many. Grab an ice cream cone or candy apple and stop by Harmony Park (right near our shop on Campbell Street). Take a moment to relax and enjoy.
As we continue to improve and update our processes across our 100+ locations throughout the country, maintaining that level of excellence is important to us. We are proud of the spaces we’ve built, capturing that classic feel of an old-school chocolatier while staying modern over the years to cater to an ever-changing world. Going to a candy store should feel like a break from the busy world around it.
So much of our charm comes from our ties to our classic processes and standards, and we hope to share that joy with each new and returning customer to our stores, wherever you may be coming from.
Everyone working at our stores, from head candy cook to our newest hire, is an important part of this setting. We have a core set of values we all aim for—treat others as you want to be treated, work hard, and have fun.

After positioning Kilwins as one of the top chocolatiers in the country, we expanded our offerings to include ice cream in 1985. In order to ensure that our ice cream really is as rich and fresh as advertised, we exclusively use ingredients from family-owned, local farms to create our Kosher-certified, “Super-Premium” frozen treats.
Once we make our premium base ice cream, we mix in inclusions like caramel, chocolate, nuts, and other quality confections to create dozens of different flavors, only available in Kilwins stores.
Like everything else we make, we weren’t satisfied to merely make something pretty good—we wanted to make something just as good as the chocolate we produce, and we’re confident in our results and encourage you to judge for yourself. We’ve been steadily expanding the flavors we have on sale over the years.
While the majority of our offerings are available year-round, we also create limited flavors to celebrate different times of the year, so check in with our Arlington Heights location to see what we have available today.
Even if we don’t have the specific limited-edition flavor you’re looking for, we guarantee that we’ll have something in our parlor you’ll love.
We also offer a range of additions you can add to your scoops of ice cream and sorbet flavors to make it exactly the way you want. From hand-crafted hot fudge and caramel toppings to hand-chopped nuts, coconut, and more, we encourage you to experiment and create a flavor 100% unique. We also make our own fresh waffle cones in-store for you to enjoy if you’re looking for one more layer of hand-crafted sweetness to go along with your treat.
We could keep telling you about how delicious our chocolates are, how refreshing our ice cream is on a hot summer day, or how much you won’t want to share a new box of fudge, but where’s the fun in that? Our flavors are meant to be savored and shared, and we want you to get the chance to find out for yourself how fantastic our confections are.
It’s time to take a moment and appreciate the sweetness in life: Visit our Arlington Heights Kilwins on Campbell Street. Pick up a treat or three for yourself and find out what makes Kilwins so incredible.
Our Arlington Heights ice cream store keeps our frozen desserts in tip-top shape through a few clever inventions and plans. Here’s how: To ensure the quality of ice cream at every location is kept at its highest level, we freeze it into customized tubs and ship it across the country in our own temperature-controlled trucks. Maintaining excellence in all of our Kilwins stores is core to our success, and we are driven to provide every customer with the greatest product possible.
Our commitment to creating some of the premier chocolates, fudge, and ice cream you can find anywhere in the United States is only part of what makes Kilwins so special.
