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 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. Bake for 25 minutes and allow to cool completely.
Beat together cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add powdered sugar and heavy cream, beating 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, keeping some larger chunks.
Sprinkle the remaining strawberry gelatin over the cookie crumbs and drizzle with melted butter. Pulse a few more times until combined.
Sprinkle the cookie crumbles over the strawberry brownies and gently press into the frosting.
Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

You can adjust the amount of heavy cream for desired frosting consistency.
Make sure the brownies cool completely before adding the frosting for best results.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
