Freeze Dried Candy Nebraska

All you need for this quick little fall treat is: ½ bag of white chocolate chips 1 box of cake mix (I went with spice cake—so good) 1 can of pumpkin purée Heat your oven to 325°F. Stir the pumpkin and cake mix together until it’s smooth, then fold in your chocolate chips. Spread the batter into a greased 9x13 dish (I used glass). Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top springs back when you touch it instead of leaving a dent. Let it cool a bit, then cut yourself a square and enjoy. Cozy, simple, done. 🍂✨ Or if you're like me and have 0 patience, just scoop some out with a spoon for a lava cake style treat!
