    Sadly, my recent experience at Kilwins in Petoskey was not great. I won't go back. It was always a special place to go when I would visit my Mom in Harbor Springs. She's been gone for years now, so I haven't been in a long time. The prices were very high compared to other fine chocolates. High prices won't prevent me from having an occasional treat, but I expect an exceptional product. The white chocolate pretzel sticks are so stale as to be inedible. I am afraid to try the white chocolate coated cookie now! I spent 32.00 on six pieces of candy. Of the six things I purchased, two were good, but not exceptional. Two I will throw out... the white oreo bark and the above mentioned pretzel. Others have not been tried as of now. We also bought two single ice-cream waffle cones at an exorbitant price of 10.00 each. Both were tasty, but not better than other, much more reasonably priced premium ice-creams.

    I hate to throw shade on a local business, particularly one where the staff were so friendly and helpful to me, but for a place that specializes in chocolate, their product is of remarkably poor quality. It barely tastes or even smells like chocolate. I had not been to a Kilwins in many years and was excited to visit this one in Petoskey on Sunday. I purchased two each of several dark chocolate candies including the dark chocolate truffles, dark chocolate caramel pecan clusters, and dark chocolate covered sandwich cookies, and after eating the caramel pecan clusters, I sniffed the rest and threw it all out after detecting no signs of actual chocolate aroma. For a chocolate shop in a bustling, relatively wealthy tourist town, this is inexcusable.

    Really good slushie, however the prices are very misleading and crazy expensive. The menu is tiny, printed on a piece of printer paper.
