. walmart clearance roundup darlene michaud

WALMART CLEARANCE –

These are selling out quick! Only 2 colors left. Check to see if your size is still available!

NOTE: Clearance items are not always available in your store. They might be only in the warehouse. Most items can be ordered online and sent to your store and you can pick it up for free. If you don’t like or it does not fit, you can return it directly to the store. So easy!

Order online with FREE Store Pickup (if available)

Or ships FREE to home with $35 purchase

Availability can change at any time. Once the clearance deals are posted, stuff sells out quick so these deals may be limited or no longer available.

SHOPPING TIP: If you get close to the $35 minimum, simply order other stuff you always buy including groceries! There are more and more grocery items available on Walmart.com now that you can have shipped to your home. I love ordering the big and heavy stuff for home delivery like 20 rolls of toiler paper or big jugs of laundry detergent, stuff like that. I do about half of my grocery shopping on Walmart.com now. So convenient!

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Ice Cream Cone Cakes Recipe
a General Mills Recipe

Sign up for Pillsbury’s FREE emails to receive up to $250 in yearly coupons, access to free product samples (quantities limited, one per member) and the easiest RECIPES sent right to your inbox!!!

INGREDIENTS:

check for ingredient coupons here
1 box Betty Crocker SuperMoist party rainbow chip cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
24 flat-bottom ice cream cones
1 to 2 containers Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy frosting (any flavor)

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
2:  Make cake batter as directed on box. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (two-thirds full). Place ice cream cone upside down on batter in each cup. Stick down into the batter about 1/2 inch.
3:  Bake 16 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean (cones may tilt on batter). Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Remove paper baking cups. Generously frost cake with frosting, and decorate as desired. Store loosely covered.

Darlene’s Tips: Sprinkle various toppings on the cones for decoration, color and crunch! Try things like breakfast cereal, animal crackers, dried fruit, candy sprinkles, crushed hard candies, graham cracker crumbs, granola, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, mini marshmallows or whatever! You could even stick birthday candles on each one so everyone gets to blow out the candles!
