Here are a few more key spots to satisfy your urge for ice cream.

After an afternoon of adult window shopping on St. Armands Circle, it’s time to treat the kids to something scrumptious at Kilwins. They’ll find dozens of different flavors of brainfreezing delight — along with enough permutations of homemade fudge and chocolates to put a smile on Willy Wonka’s face. How to find it on the Circle? It’s the shop with the long line of people outside waiting patiently for their sweet dose. 312 John Ringling Blvd., St. Armands Key; 941-3883200; Kilwins.com.

Cones, milkshakes, or malteds?
