Great little shop! They greeted us and kindly offered us a free sample of fudge as soon as we entered and of course I can't eat like a normal human being and swallowed wrong and began coughing, they immediately directed me to the water fountain. Afterwards they answered any questions we had on their products as we browsed. We ended up getting their chocolate pops, chocolate covered marsh mallows, giant candy canes, and candy apple. The candy apple was delicious! And no mold in the middle which I notice happens every time we get a caramel apple from the other fudge and candy place in town. Their sweets were also a great value in comparison to the other popular candy pop up store we frequent during the holidays. We usually avoid old town bc of the traffic but we'll have to make Kilwin's one of our main stops in the future. read more

This was my first time at this location. The staff was extremely impressive. There was a homeless man in the store and they treated him so kindly that it warmed my heart. Most people don't welcome homeless persons into their stores but they asked him how his day and holiday were. My kids and I were picking out our treats and were all happy to see that. The treats are amazing. I haven't had a bad item here from the ice cream, too the giant caramel apples, the Dubai Buckeye, or homemade marshmallows. Highly recommend! read more

So perfect for the adult chocolate and caramel high-quality Halloween cravings! This was my first time to a Kilwins! I did not know there was one in Fort Collins. I had only heard about the one in Littleton. I was delighted by the sight of all of the caramel dipped apples!! I had just purchased some fudge the day before randomly at Bucee's so I did not really want to get any more chocolate however I did get some chocolate toasted coconut ice cream which was excellent - so rich chocolatey, creamy and toasty! I didn't even get a chocolate dipped cone. I just got a single scoop in a cup and it was soooo perfect! I'll definitely always stop in here when I visit downtown Fort Collins! read more

I grew up in Fort Collins, graduated from CSU, and have always supported local small businesses -- but what happened at this Kilwins was unacceptable. My mother and I, the only Hispanic customers in the store, were ignored and skipped over while others behind us were helped first. Another customer even had to call it out, and the employees still offered no apology. What should have been a simple stop for ice cream turned into a humiliating experience that felt discriminatory. This is not the Fort Collins community I know -- and I will never support a business that treats people this way. read more

Great sweets and great service! They make 70% of their products in house, which is amazing. The owner was so kind and offered us samples. The ice cream was delicious and creamy! Would definitely recommend coming here. read more

Sadly only a short while ago today I and my fiancé were hoping to celebrate our engagement. We walked in at 9:40 PM at the location on Hilton Head. The employee yelled that they were closed despite the hours on their website clearly stating that they did not close till ten. Not the best service. read more

This review is strictly for their chocolates!!! If you're a chocolate lover and you visit Fort Collins you MUST visit Kilwins! Lovely Felicia helped me pick out their amazing chocolates! They had every variety in milk and dark chocolate - personally I love dark chocolates and can't tolerate sweet too much! Out of all the ones I tried, the orange cream, raspberry, caramel almond (biscuit I think), sea salt dark chocolate and chewy sea salt toffee were my favs - actually I think I got everything that had dark chocolate and sea salt! Definitely recommend! Will visit again! read more

After a trip to the pumpkin patch on a quintessential autumn day, I was really craving a caramel apple. And I knew just where to go. Kilwin's is my go to place for lots of things--fudge, truffles, chocolate covered nutter butters, and of course, caramel apples. They sure know how to appeal to my sweet tooth. My order was taken right away upon entering the establishment. The only challenge was deciding which caramel apple I wanted! Once I ordered I found a bench on College to sit on. It was such a nice experience enjoying my favorite fall treat among the colorful trees in Old Town, leaves fluttering around me. The kind staff at Kilwins even cut up the apple for me to make it easier to eat. The caramel is soft and creamy, so it doesn't feel like it's going to pull your teeth out. However they make it, they're doing it flawlessly. At the end of the outing, my fingers were sticky and my heart was happy. If you need your fix of fall treats before the season ends, make sure you stop by Kilwins! read more

Ah, the chocolate candies, the old time feel, the foco tradition. A business that has actually lasted. And the Buckeyes! I've never had them before and these melt in your mouth. Soft, creamy, and I'm told exactly what I should expect. They have handmade candies of all kinds in the chocolate family. They even have the rare teeny tiny coconut haystacks, which are usually huge, and they have so many of the options in milk and dark chocolate. While the fudge sometimes gets a little too dry for me, likely because it doesn't get fully purchased daily, they let u taste any fudge u like and they have fun flavors. We go for Buckeyes, choco covered gummy worms (half covered and really soft, tiny haystacks, and to try new candies, because they prices are right and there are small options. They also have ice creams and a cute shop decor that reminds you of the old days. read more

Oh my God. I have a huge sweet tooth so this place is heaven for me. Smells like sugar when you walk in. Of amazing they have so much fudge. And you could do samples of anything there. It's great it's all lovely. I got the ice cream which ice cream which was so good. A bit pricey but like honestly you get a good amount of fudge and ice cream so I'm not complaining too much. It was all great!! read more

Fudge sounded good so I stopped in... Annnnnd I walked out with fudge, caramels, and some sort of giant marshmellow covered in caramel and salted milk chocolate which probably is against some sort of calorie/sugar law and shouldn't exist but also might be one the best things I've ever tasted. I'd take a picture to share, but it's gone. Get your own. (Seriously, go get one, they're freaking amazing.) Also Simone was wonderful and I appreciate her non-judgement of my chocolate/sugar addiction. read more

If I lived near this place, I probably would be buying larger pants every month. Stumbled across this on a day trip to Boulder with some girlfriends and got to enjoy the Chocolate Coconut (or something like that) ice cream. It's so dreamy! It's got actual chocolate dipped coconut pieces in it. 10/10. I'm drooling just thinking about it. I will be back!! read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Candy Stores Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Getting some ice cream with 6 other people to celebrate the end of the vacation. We enjoy coming here when in town

From the outside, looks like an ice cream parlor, but inside so much more. Fantastic selection of mouth watering delicious tasting fudge, chocolates and candy/ chocolate/ caramel apples and more. Don't believe me? Just open the door and let the aromatic smell of this chocolate/ candy store waft into your senses. Dare you to do this and try walking away...I always walk in to satisfy my sweet tooth! Recommended to friends and family. read more

This is a fun shop that carries homemade goodies like caramel apples, fudge, Carmel corn, chocolates, and ice cream. Everything is made fresh here and taste good. This is the kind of store you normally see in a mountain town or tourist spot, so it is nice to have in town. The ice cream is by far the best kept secret. The toasted coconut is really out of this world good. The prices here are more than your average food snack store as fudge is not cheap. You will spend $5 per ice cream at least and double that for some fudge. Give it a try and ask for FREE samples which they are eager to give. read more

Walking into Kilwin's feels like a walk to yesteryear. There are caramel apples, fudge, jars of candy and a large case filled with chocolate. And in the back, an ice cream case. It's warm and smells like sugary goodness. Needing just a small sugar fix, we popped in for a chocolate pecan "Tuttle" and some marzipan fruit. The hubs had a couple hard pieces in the Tuttle but enjoyed it nonetheless. The marzipan fruit was awesome with just the right softness and perfect almond flavor. This is our old fashioned downtown FoCo treat stop. read more

I asked for a small cup of ice cream. They gave me one tiny scoop that looked like a kids scoop in regular cup and charged me 4.99$. I would go to Walrus and get your moneys worth. I never get ice cream and thought it would be a nice treat. I can't believe they would change that much for a tiny scoop. Ridiculous! To top it off, I had family in town and they were completely shocked by this as well. Will not be returning to this establishment. read more

This place is a little on the pricey side but it's clean and there's a great selection and super friendly employees. I was sadly not impressed with the fudge. It's super mushy and I'm more of a firm fudge kind of girl. They have mint ice cream year round though!!! I'm thrilled! read more

Kilwins Ice Cream - Chocolate - Fudge - Candy Stores Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Great for ice cream, not so great for service. The ice cream is just divine. However the quality of their chocolate treats is on par with Hershey's to say the least. The milk chocolate tastes like discount chocolate very over sugared like the bars at the grocer and the dark chocolate lacks definition. And this goes for a variety of their sweets as the chocolate carries over to each new item it covers. The servers give off a minimum wage I hate my life vibe on their faces. While their appearance of greasy hair and unkept clothes begs me to not allow them to handle my food. read more

I haven't been here in years but took in my daughter for a treat because we were nearby. I just about fainted when I saw that two cones, one of which was a kid-sized cone, came to almost $10. But since we already had the cones, I had no choice. And the ice cream was not even that tasty. I was so disappointed. Worse, since 5-year-olds never even finish their food, it was such a waste. read more

Oh, Kilwin's, how I have missed you! Back in the day, you were my fave icecreamery in town and I blew through your frequent buyer cards like confetti at a new year's day parade. What I love about Kilwin's: - In summertime, you can get the most delicious freshly squeezed juices. - Take a few minutes to watch the workers in the prep area make all kind of delicious sweets. Caramel apples, fudge, and other dipped treats. - The staff. I know they come and go over the years, but miraculously everyone behind the counter seems to be so happy and peppy. Maybe if I worked around chocolate all day, I would too. A few things: - Even though Kilwin's tracks is my fave flavor, if you're nearing the bottom of the barrel, I'd ask them to open a new one or pick something else. - Chocolate covered gummies can be hit or miss. If you get them while they're super fresh though, you're in business. Fact that I just learned: Did you know that Kilwin's was a chain? Most of them are on the east coast. Props to the owners for bringing it out west. Makes me wish I lived back in the Fort again! read more

I was told by the owner that our fudge choices sounded RACIST in front of my kids not only once but TWICE on the 4th of July! For our fudge choice? REALLY??? You just lost our business! Permanently. read more

If you are craving chocolate treats or ice cream, this is the place for you. The candies are ~$25/lb, rather typical of handmade candy shops and they have some unique offerings like oreo fudge and bing cherry dark chocolates. The true star of the show for me though was the ice cream. With over 25 flavors of hard-dip ice cream, this is a dairy lover's dream. The salted caramel flavor immediately caught my eye. With a dip ringing in at $4.25, the prices are a bit steep, but I couldn't resist the unique flavor. The ice cream was rich and had a slight salty note which perfectly complimented the caramel swirls and chunks throughout. I really loved the flavor, and so do a lot of other people because a sign displayed on the counter rated salted caramel at the all time fan favorite at Kilwin's nation-wide. That's right, Kilwin's is a chain with a huge number in Florida and the South, but this is the only store in Colorado. It's well worth a stop if you're exploring Old Town Fort Collins. read more

Ice cream ok. Excellent chocolate covered shortbread! Fantastic caramel apple with nice tart apple and good caramel.

Stopped in after dinner at Sonny's. Left with all kinds of treats LOL!!! However the star was the toasted coconut ice cream outstanding!!! I did not catch the name of the young lady that helped my family, but she was super nice and very polite!! read more

This place was good! We had ice cream - chocolate fudge and cake batter. The Cake batter was wicked good. Also - we got three pieces of fudge - buy 2 get 1 free! can't beat that! read more

An adorable candy and ice cream parlor. They have every sweet confection your teeth could desire - chocolates and Fudge by the piece, pound or box. Their ice cream is delicious and they had at least twenty flavors to choose from. There isn't a lot of seating, but a good place to pick up a treat while shopping old town. read more

While strolling around downtown we spotted this shop and stopped in for an ice cream treat. The flavors of ice cream are refreshing, it's all homemade in house and are very unique flavors. As we enjoyed this tasty treat we relaxed and watched them make up a batch of ice cream and fudge. The guys ding to cooking, mixing and measuring were working with the focus and intensity of chemists. The detail that they went to was defiantly reflected in the quality and flavor of their products! We grabbed a box of fudge to go and finished or shopping and sightseeing with happy tummy's! Stop in and treat yourself, you deserve it! read more

Ice cream was delicious!! I noticed it's says no cards but they do in fact take cards. I had the cappuccino with chocolate chips and my son had the vanilla with sprinkles and they both were great! They have fudge, chocolate candies and caramel apples as well! Great place to grab something sweet! read more

I must confess I'm not a big fan of sweets, so coming back to Kilwin's is as strong of an endorsement as I can give to a candy shop. The selection here is outrageous, from fudges to caramels to ice cream to truffles. I haven't tried everything, but I've always enjoyed what I've tried. The fudge has a great texture and isn't overly sweet, the turtles are incredible, and the ice cream is always delicious - especially on a hot summer day. There are very few times this feels like a chain, but to offer Georgia Peach ice cream in the middle of Palisade season was one of those times. Otherwise, it's a great place to grab a sweet treat as you wander around Old Town. read more

I love Kilwin's! I thought they were only in Michigan, but I was pleasantly surprised to find one in Fort Collins. I had a scoop of cake batter ice cream and a scoop of chocolate peanut butter. Mmmmmm. My fiance had a caramel apple, which was also very good. I have never tried their candy (other than then caramel apple), but their ice cream is delicious. read more

My friends came in here once and apparently got a very long info session on what makes their chocolate the best. Even if Kilwin is the great wizard of chocolate, what stands out to me is their caramel apples - especially rolled in crushed almonds. ahh my favorite. The fudge is awesome too. work takes me here every other summer and I can't wait to go back. read more

I have yet to try Kilwin Ice Cream but I have had their chocolates on several occasions. To tell the absolute truth I have tasted better. I am used to weirdo infused chocolate with bacon in it. Perhaps Rosemary? No, I just don't think they are that experimental with their chocolates as I would like them to be. I do however think that their orange peel chocolates and their cherry cordials stand out in a all star stellar way! read more

A cute little shop - not a large variety of options, but enough for most people to be satisfied. Ice cream was good (I had turtle cheesecake) but not the best I've every had - and didn't really taste like cheesecake. I had a groupon for $20 so I got the ice cream and several chocolates. The individual options are quite expensive, with some topping out at $1.50 for a small piece - they are slightly differently sized so don't be afraid to ask to pick out your own if you want from the tray. Overall a good chocolate shop, but I wasn't as impressed as I hoped I'd be. I'd give it 3.5 if I could, but I bumped it to 4 for being nice in letting me pick out so much stuff while others waited. read more

Great ice cream! They had a ton of choices for everyone as well as lovely looking chocolate treats. We only had ice cream and sampled quite a few. The staff was patient and friendly while we tried some ice cream and they recommended their favorites as well. We enjoyed our time here and will probably be back soon! read more
