very confused with passing data array from controller to view in laravel or calling it from the view

ok I have my route to my controller (for future crud maybe angular use)

public function Dashboard_Clicks()
{
    $DBClicks = DB::table('TotalClicks')->select('Total_Clicks')->get();


return view::('dashboard.pages')->with('$DBClicks', Total_Clicks);

do I use view composer? or another clean simple way to call this in? }

this has one result a number 45454

I want to be able to get this result in my view like so.

<h1 class="clicks"><strong>{{ $DBClicks->Total_Clicks }} </strong> </h1>
