This school year, a great way to thank your child's teacher is with a delicious Kilwins hand-crafted caramel apple! There are several varieties to choose from, including Apple Pie Caramel Apple and Turtle Caramel Apple.

Birthday parties: Looking for a different kind of birthday party for your 7 to 14 year old (or even yourself)? Bring their friends to Kilwin's, where we close the kitchen for an hour and the kids get to decorate their own treats while standing at the marble table. Choose from among several different treats, and add to that an ice cream cone for the birthday girl/boy and their guests. Balloons for everyone! Call us for more details.

Ice Cream Socials: Kilwin's Asheville can bring ice cream to your next party or event! Choose two flavors of our Original Recipe Ice Cream and we supply a specially designed server to keep the ice cream cold for 2-4 hours. We can also supply spoons, cones, cups and napkins to make your life easier!

Catering: Have the sweetest party in town! We cater weddings, parties and corporate events with our own chocolate-dipped treats in bite size pieces so your guests can try one of each! We will work with you to create custom platters that will dazzle your guests.

Kilwin's Cares for Kids! We offer elementary school teachers several options that can help them in their classrooms: Free Achievement Certificates (for a free kids ice cream cone) and free empty Kilwin's tubs (so many great uses). Also new for this year, we have a special presentation that we do in the classroom all about chocolate, including samples of chocolate for the students to taste. Call us today for information.
