Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper, then spray it with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine ½ cup melted butter, eggs, strawberry cake mix, and 2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin until the mixture is 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 cooling completely.
In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla until fully combined. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, beating until smooth and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
In a food processor, pulse Golden Oreos until broken into pieces, ensuring some larger chunks remain.
Sprinkle the remaining strawberry gelatin over the cookie crumbs, drizzle with melted butter, and pulse a few more times until combined.
Sprinkle the cookie crumbles over the brownies and gently press them into the frosting.
Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Ensure the brownies cool completely before adding the frosting to prevent melting.
Use a sharp knife to cut the brownies for clean edges.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
