Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with foil baking cups, or spray it with nonstick spray.

In a large bowl, mix cake mix with pumpkin until completely smooth and uniform. (Batter will be thick.)

Evenly distribute batter into the cups of the muffin pan. Press a caramel halfway into the center of each, and smooth batter over the top to enclose the caramel.

Bake until a toothpick inserted into a muffin (avoiding the caramel) comes out mostly clean, about 20 minutes.

Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy!

P.S. If not eating immediately, reheat muffins in the microwave for about 15 seconds to melt the caramel just before eating.
