Anytime you’re visiting Hot Springs, stop by at Kilwins and enjoy the sweet confections made right in front of you. Our high-quality handmade chocolates, creamy Mackinac Island Fudge, “the perfect” caramel apple, and waffle cones are freshly made. Plus, our ice cream comes in a variety of flavors you can’t find anywhere else.
If you’re looking for a delicious caramel treat, our Hot Springs store has “the perfect” caramel apple. Prepared in traditional copper kettles in our store’s kitchen, the caramel apple has been a favorite since the 1950s. You could also sample our handcrafted and copper-kettle-cooked caramel corn and brittle for a nutty bite with a sweet and salty combo.
Our Hot Springs chocolate store almost feels like a step back in time: We pair award-winning confectioneries made in-store with five-star customer service. In the early days of Kilwins, we focused on creating a welcoming atmosphere and an excellent spot for sharing treats with friends and family.
Ask your Hot Springs neighbors about Kilwins, and they’ll tell you it’s a store unlike any other. It’s a heritage that began on a simple foundation of handcrafting confections using first-class ingredients. Our tradition of combining sweet sensations with genuinely attentive customer service hasn’t changed in modern times.
Another thing immune to change is our classic recipes. We use Don’s recipes for fudge, chocolate, and more. Each chocolate is like a quick peek into the past when making desserts by hand was non-negotiable.
Located a few minutes from our store is Lake Hamilton fishing pier, where you can stroll and marvel at the beautiful waterside views while eating a TUTTLE™ Nut Caramels or a waffle cone.
If you plan to watch a movie at the Historic Malco Theatre or other nearby cinema, grab a caramel corn and brittle treat or fudge to eat at intermissions. After a day of adventure at the National Park, the Hot Springs chocolate store is the place to cool off with a caramel apple or Original Recipe Ice Cream.
Customers expect nothing less than perfection when they come to Kilwins, and that includes our ice cream. At our Kilwins Hot Springs ice cream store, we offer classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate. We also have mix-ins like our buttery, tasty caramel, Mackinac Island Fudge, and homemade toppings added to our Original Recipe Ice Cream to create a favorite flavor for everyone.
We recommend ordering your Original Recipe Ice Cream from a handcrafted waffle cone or waffle bowl. We make our ice cream waffles in old-fashioned waffle irons and curl them into that iconic cone shape while the thin waffle material is still warm. Whether in a cup, waffle cone, or waffle bowl, however you take your ice cream, you’ll have an exceptional experience.
One secret behind our delicious flavors is using the same recipe we invented in 1985. When we started making ice cream in 1985, we quickly realized we were onto something special. Soon enough, we were bringing our Original Recipe Ice Cream all over, including our Hot Springs ice cream store.
Decades later, we still make the Original Recipe Ice Cream with milk and cream sourced from local family-owned farms. Like many of our other proprietary products, the Kilwins Original Recipe Ice Cream is Kosher-certified.
Customization is part of our heritage, and we have embraced it to protect the quality of our amazing ice cream. We have customized tubs that keep our ice cream rich and creamy. When shipping ice cream, we use our own temperature-controlled trucks to maintain the desired temperature and consistency.
The values our founders believed in were simple: treat others as they would want to be treated, do their best, and have fun. These values are clear in our Hot Springs Kilwins ice cream store. We treat each of our customers with individual attention and ensure everyone who walks into our store leaves with a smile.
Our welcoming atmosphere, carefully handcrafted dessert selection, and friendly staff are what make Kilwins a favorite spot for locals and visitors. Stop by the Kilwins Hot Springs ice cream store today and see how we make every day feel like a holiday.

If you’d like additional ingredients from our Kilwins line-up, including nuts, chocolate chips, caramel, Mackinac Island Fudge, or other toppings, our team will gladly add them to your ice cream. It’s never been so easy to make the sweetest ice cream you’ll ever taste.
