Whether you're exploring Downtown Cartersville or just passing through, Kilwins is the sweetest stop in town. With dozens of handcrafted treats—many made from our exclusive recipes—it’s no wonder we’re known as Cartersville’s go-to chocolate shop.
Whatever your favorite treat may be, you’ll find something to love on our shelves. From rich chocolate bark and creamy ice cream to indulgent fudge and buttery toffee—not to mention our seasonal and limited-edition specialties—there’s always something new to discover. Our beautifully packed chocolate boxes are perfect for sampling a little bit of everything.
From silky truffles and rich caramels to bite-sized chocolate squares, Kilwins Cartersville has something to satisfy every sweet tooth. Our dark chocolate, made with high-quality cacao, delivers a deep, bittersweet flavor you won’t find anywhere else. Prefer something creamier? Our smooth, layered milk chocolate is unforgettable. And if vanilla is your favorite, don’t miss our white chocolate—it’s made with real chocolate and full of authentic flavor.
But Kilwins chocolates don’t just taste amazing—they do good, too. Every bite you enjoy supports Fair Trade practices and meets Kosher certification standards. At Kilwins Cartersville, we believe chocolate should make your day better—and make the world better, too.
Kilwins in Cartersville is dedicated to keeping the memory of our founders, Don and Katy Kilwin, alive. Back in the 1940s, Katy and Don opened Kilwins and later realized their legacy would extend far beyond Michigan and the next few decades. We have been following in their footsteps for over 75 years, following their traditional candy-making process. To make the kinds of desserts we do, we need to maintain strict, ultra-high standards.
Luckily, quality control is easy for us since we make everything by hand. Our Mackinac Island Fudge (one of Don and Katy’s original recipes still in use today) is made on a marble tabletop just like Don intended. Chocolate Mackinac Island Fudge is probably our most famous, but we invite you to try a few more.
Georgia is known for its rich culinary heritage and local flavors that have made their mark far beyond the South. To honor that tradition and make our Cartersville community proud, we use only the finest ingredients—both locally sourced and from trusted partners around the world. Our creams and milk come fresh from nearby farms, while we source sea salt from our favorite spots in Mexico, Asia, Hawaii, and beyond.
When we eat Kilwins ice cream on a park bench on a relaxed summer afternoon, we take time to appreciate the little things. The smooth, creamy texture is different from any other scoop you’ve had before. After one cup, nothing will compare again. We don’t just make our ice cream from scratch—we also design our own custom ice cream tubs. When you walk into our Cartersville ice cream store, it’s impossible to miss the rows of ice cream with their bright and vibrant colors.
Sometimes, we know exactly what you want, and sometimes, we need a second or two to think. In that case, take the opportunity to ask our staff for a sample. You never know what your new favorite flavor will be, especially because we’re always creating new ones.
It can get hot in Cartersville, Georgia. On those scorching hot days when it feels like you could cook an egg on the pavement, sometimes it seems like the only cure is a big helping of ice cream. In fact, we’re dedicated to staying cool at Kilwins. We only transport batches to our Cartersville ice cream store in our own trucks so we can thoroughly monitor the temperature. Too hot and it melts, too cold and it gets freezer burn. Neither of those meets our standard of perfection.
Our ice cream recipe dates back to 1985, and with one scoop, it’s easy to see why we’re still faithful to it. It has that kind of richness that can only be found in ice cream made with local dairy for a base we fondly call “Super Premium.” Like our chocolates, we insist on using the finest ingredients. Gourmet chocolate, toasted nuts, and fudge (some of Don Kilwin’s original recipe) are just a few of the toppings you can customize your sundae with—the list goes on and on.
Our Kosher-certified ice cream is a celebration of both tradition and creativity. We're always crafting new flavors for every season, holiday, or those spontaneous “just because” cravings. Grab a freshly made waffle cone and take a stroll through historic Downtown Cartersville, soaking in the charm of the city and the warmth of a sweet Southern day.
Kilwins is more than a chocolate store—it’s the memories we make and the experiences that bring us closer together. Nothing makes us happier than families coming in and talking about how their grandparents introduced them to Kilwins, as they now do the same for their loved ones.
For something to last generations, it has to mean something. One of the wonderful things about Kilwins is that it can mean something a little different to everyone who walks away with our signature boxes, hand-crafted truffles, or a candy apple.
For some, Kilwins means enjoying an ice cream cone while wandering through Downtown Cartersville after a warm afternoon of shopping or sightseeing. For others, it’s a holiday tradition—bringing boxes of chocolates or bags of caramel corn to share at family gatherings. In the end, these sweet treats become more than just candy—they’re part of our community, our family, and our memories. And really, what could be better than that?
To create that kind of spirit, we work hard to make shopping easy and fun.
Our chocolatiers train in the art of making desserts, from hand-dipping caramel apples to mixing our secret chocolate formula and beyond. Of course, besides attention to detail when working with our traditional copper kettles or delivering our temp-controlled ice cream, we are dedicated to our customers.
The care we show in the Kilwins Kitchen doesn’t end when the oven timer goes off. We bring that same energy to everyone who walks through our Cartersville doors, calls us on the phone, or places an order.
With our Cartersville ice cream store’s cozy and inviting atmosphere and friendly staff, it’s easy to find something to smile about. Both locals and tourists gather at Kilwins Cartersville to share moments of joy over delicious chocolates and ice creams. It’s easy to make such delicious desserts when they’re made with love for the people you love.
We take pride in our craftsmanship, and can think of no better way to prove our dedication than to invite you to stop by. See for yourself how our years of hard work and teamwork set Kilwins apart from the rest.
Kilwins makes ice cream the way it’s supposed to be made—with fresh, local cream. It arrives at its destination in our client-controlled trucks in our special, custom-designed tubs. There’s no part of the process we don’t carefully watch. The end result is creamy, Kosher-certified ice cream that’s meant to be savored.
