Our Process, Care and Quality
In our high-temperature cooking area, we use whatever equipment we think makes the best candy so you will see some of our heritage equipment as well as some newer equipment.
Kilwins controls all stages of making and delivering products. In order to ensure that our stores and you get the highest quality products possible, Kilwins has invested in special storage facilities and trucks that closely control temperature and humidity. We continually strive to make the best Chocolates and confections. We use our original recipes and continue to develop and innovate new recipes and ideas over time.
Almost all products made in our cold room, like our Almond Toffee Crunch, have been made the same way by Kilwins for decades – by hand. There are easier, quicker, and less expensive ways to make it, but we still hand-craft these products because the quality is better.
We have been expertly molding and enrobing (coating) Chocolates with the same equipment and processes since 1965. Over the years, we’ve made some improvements and have added new chocolate milling equipment that allows us to create new and unique blends of Chocolate.
A lot of effort and time goes into producing chocolate from cocoa beans - a long and complicated process which begins with expertly growing cocoa trees and ends with us expertly enrobing or molding high-quality Chocolate.
Our entire Kilwins team is proud of our hand-crafted heritage. We love our products and have fun making them for you! At the end of the enrobing line, we give our products one last look before they are packaged, labeled and sent to our stores for you to enjoy.
