Kilwin’s Chocolate Fudge & Ice Cream

Omg. Omg. Omg. The toasted coconut ice cream was amazing! It was actually toasty crunchy and the perfect amount of sweetness and creamy. I rarely eat real ice cream but I’m afraid that every time I visit Gettysburg I will have to stop. So in order to keep my girlish figure I will probably not go back to Gettysburg for a while because I don’t have very good self control. My friend got chocolate and peanut butter and didn’t even give me a bite he loved it that much. I got a few pieces of chocolate and didn’t have to buy a minimum which is always nice.

By far the best experience in town. The employees are always eager to help and very friendly. They even let you try samples before deciding on a flavor. I didn’t push my luck with this, but quickly decided on the Salted Caramel ice cream. The smell was heavenly as well — chocolate, waffle cones, popcorn — I had to be carried out. Definitely a must go when visiting Gettysburg!

Not a huge ice cream person…
As soon as you walk into this place you know it is going to be a good experience… the aroma is … ahhhhh so amazing. Chocolate, fudge and ice cream.
But this place was very creamy and the ice cream was clearly fresh and homemade. I had the roasted coconut ice cream and it had a ton of pieces of toasted coconuts. I also had the Gettysburg mud… which was Carmel and chocolate… very tasty as well.

I came here on a Sunday, and even though most of the stores on Steinwehr was closed, this place was opened for service. I read that they had really good ice cream, especially their Salted Caramel. I, myself, am not a salted caramel person (I tried the one in Seattle that Obama made so popular, and I thought it was the pits!) — I decided to give it a chance after getting sucked in with a sample. It was so cold, creamy, sweet, and slightly salty at the same time. It was delicious, and you can tell that they made it right there on the premise. It seems to have only one size as I got the cup, but the total was about $ 4 and some change. Yummy! Definitely would go back for this treat.
+Salted Caramel ice cream!

If you’re in a touristy area, you are likely to stumble upon a Kilwins. Originally from Petoskey Michigan, this confectionery has it all: chocolates, truffles, fudge, salt water taffy, ice cream, ect. I usually stop in to buy presents to bring back to satiate my coworkers’ inextinguishable lust for sweets. If you know someone from Michigan bring them some Mackinac Island Fudge or take them here for Traverse City Cherry ice cream and you’ll be aces in their book. I love the variety of items available, but it is a little on the pricey side. Taste wise it’s pretty good, perhaps a little too sweet, especially if you usually go for something like an 80% Dark Chocolate. This location is clean and well organized, and the staff was super friendly and helpful in recommending local restaurants.
