For this recipe you can use any berries to make any type of fruit cobbler you want. You will need 2 bags of frozen fruits, 1 or 1 ½ cans of Sprite or 7Up and 1 box of white cake mix (only the powder).
Spread frozen fruits out in a 9×13” inch baking dish. Then sprinkle the white cake mix over the top covering all of the fruits. Pour the soda making sure that the cake mix is well moistened, but don’t stir!
Preheat oven 375 degrees and bake for 45-50 minutes.
7. Indoor S’mores
