Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper and non-stick spray.
In a bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, strawberry cake mix, and 2 tablespoons of strawberry gelatin until the mixture is thick and evenly mixed.
Spread the brownie batter into the baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely after baking.
In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla until mixed well. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream while continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled brownies evenly.
In a food processor, pulse the Golden Oreos into chunky crumbs, leaving some larger pieces for texture.
Sprinkle the remaining strawberry gelatin over the crushed Oreos and drizzle with melted butter. Pulse a few more times to combine.
Sprinkle the cookie mixture over the frosted brownies and press down gently to adhere.
Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Feel free to add fresh strawberries on top for extra decoration.
