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 ½ cup melted butter, eggs, strawberry cake mix, and 2 tablespoons 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.
In a separate bowl, beat together cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla until well combined. Add the powdered sugar and heavy cream, then beat until smooth and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
Using a food processor, pulse the Golden Oreos until broken into pieces, leaving some larger chunks.
Sprinkle the remaining strawberry gelatin over the Oreo crumbs and drizzle with melted butter. Pulse a few more times until combined.
Sprinkle the cookie crumbles over the frosted brownies and gently press them down to adhere.
Cut the brownies into squares and serve.

Notes

Ensure the brownies are completely cool before adding the cream cheese frosting to prevent it from melting.
For added flavor, use fresh strawberries on top after cutting into squares. Serve chilled for the best taste.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
