They are made with a box of chocolate cake mix and rather the fun is in the design. A typical box mix makes 18-24 cupcakes making this recipe perfect for a classroom or Halloween Party. Enjoy!

Dark Chocolate Fudge Cupcake Mix (eggs, water, oil)
Creamy vanilla “purple” frosting (or make your own with food coloring)
Yellow Icing with a Flat Tip
Wilton Green Icing with a Small Round Tip

Cut the tip off your decorating bag and place your large star tip inside the bag.
Place your bag inside a tall glass/cup, fold the edges over the top of the glass/cup, and fill with your purple frosting.
Take the bag out of your glass/cup and twist the top of the bag (you can secure with a twisty tie if you’d like but not necessary.)
Place the tip onto the outside edge of your cupcake, apply pressure to the center of the bag, and frost in a swirl pattern till you get to the center of the cupcake, then quickly let off the pressure.
Break 1/5 of the cone off the top opening and gently press the cone pointy side up onto the frosting.
Use your yellow frosting with the flat tip and frost a flat line of frosting around the base of the waffle cone.

It’s another Frugal Fashion Friday. Pull out the white maxi dress before labor day hits (then again, winter whites are so chic, but we are looking for an excuse.)

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Audible Anniversary Sale + FREE Month Trial

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

August 26, 2016 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Amazon, Online Shopping

I love listening to Audiobooks. I have spoken so much about Audible in the past. It is how I read books and I go through a lot! Right now you can pick up a FREE Trial to Audible and get a FREE book! After your trial you can cancel or keep and pay $14.95/month. This is what I pay for one book a month.

Audible has well known books on Audio. I have an app on my phone so I can listen and mostly do this when falling asleep though I have done it as well when showering, cleaning the home, long car trips, etc. Choose from 180,000+ book titles. And your books are yours to keep. One feature I like is if you start a book and don’t like it, you can return it! It’s called a listener guarantee! I have done this a few times recently.

AFTER YOU GET YOUR FREE TRIAL:

Now you can head to w Audible is having an Anniversary Sale. Take a look at 200 titles for $3.95 and under. I picked up 5 books for around $15 – I have a nice little stack now.

Take a look at these Audible Books I shared earlier on Instagram. You can see my opinion of each book HERE. I noticed that The Prince of Tides was for sale in the anniversary sale. You can see a previous list HERE.
