Have you ever had a dessert that’s so good you thought you could make a meal out of it?I had that thought after tasting the Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream at Kilwins. It was the best ice cream I have ever put in my mouth. It was so thick that it stuck to the spoon, truly making me savor every bite. “The product is so superior to anything else on the market, which is why we chose it,” said Marc Berkowitz.  He and his wife Yvonne, are owners of the Kilwins Panama City Beach location, which opened on Valentine’s Day.  But the Berkowitzs first fell in love with Kilwins at a friend’s shoppe in Fort Lauderdale. Kilwins is a chain of confectionery shoppes.

The first shoppe opened in Michigan in 1947, and now there are about 70 shoppes nationwide.  Kilwins owns the original recipes, so I wasn’t able to get all the secrets to why the ice cream is so creamy and rich. “Its just premium higher butter fat,” said Berkowitz.  Some things, such as calories, probably better left a mystery.

“Ice Cream is definitely our no. 1 seller and fudge after that,” he said.

“My favorite thing in the store is my peanut brittle.” I thought the rocky road fudge was the creamiest, but the peanut butter fudge really won me over. “Most people have not seen the way we make fudge before,” said Berkowitz.  “We make it on a marble table.” Being the day before Easter, I had to buy milk chocolate and dark chocolate bunnies.  I showed a little restraint by not getting the white chocolate too. “Everything is done in milk, dark and white chocolate,” said Berkowitz. “Kilwins is more about the enjoyment of the experience — and the smell,” said Berkowitz. He said waffle cones make the strongest scent, but passers-by also can smell when they make caramel and fudge.  I had smelled the waffle cones from outside the store, and all it took was one whiff to draw me in. It didn’t matter that I hadn’t been hungry.

So happy that we stumbled upon this place. We had the Strawberry Chunk and The Apple Pie flavors. My son enjoyed his strawberry and I undoubtedly say that this was the best Apple Pie ice cream I’ve ever had. The crust and apple pieces to the ice cream were absolute perfection!! The flavor, creaminess, and quality were 10/10.

Wonderful little ice cream shop, very clean with many wonderful flavors to choose from. The ice cream and milkshakes were very rich and tasty and it smells like cookies. Great place to visit while shopping at Pier Park.
