Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper, spray with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the melted butter, eggs, strawberry cake mix, and 2 tablespoons of strawberry gelatin until well combined; the batter will be thick.
Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish using a rubber spatula and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely after baking.
In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar and heavy cream, and beat until smooth and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled brownies.
In a food processor, pulse the Golden Oreos until broken into pieces, leaving some larger chunks for texture.
Sprinkle the remaining strawberry gelatin over the cookie crumbs and drizzle with melted butter. Pulse again until combined.
Sprinkle the cookie crumbles over the brownie layer and gently press them into the frosting.
Cut the brownies into squares and serve.

Notes

Ensure brownies are completely cooled before adding frosting for best results.
For extra flavor, add fresh strawberries on top before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
