Kilwins Orange Beach

 The Mackinac Island Fudge is made in small batches on-site using traditional methods - cooked in copper kettles, hand-paddled, and cooled on marble tables right in the store. The Heritage Chocolate is Fair Trade Certified, Kosher, and available exclusively at Kilwins locations. The ice cream is an Original Recipe available only at Kilwins stores.

There are two Kilwins' locations at The Wharf which makes it really easy to grab a sweet treat or ice cream. I love picking up a slice of fudge before we head home so we can savor it over the next few days.
