"Located in the heart of the River Market District, Kilwins is the go-to spot for classic sweets like fudge, taffy, and caramel apples. The shop’s old-fashioned, picture-perfect rows of candies make for a dazzling display, and it’s not uncommon for folks to stop in just to smell the chocolate-scented air. Even if you find yourself in the River Market to experience a little nightlife, no one could blame you for sneaking into Kilwins for a little bite of fudge."

"Something that makes Kilwins Little Rock special is that beyond their tasty treats, their crafting is put on full display. Calling it an artisan performance, the store is open so that customers can view the making of all their Chocolates, Fudges, Brittles, Shakes, among their other items. The Kilwins opened the business in 1947, and since then they have valued not only their confectionaries but also the community they are serving."
