Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, strawberry cake mix, and 2 tablespoons of strawberry gelatin until the mixture is well blended (the batter will be thick).
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. Let it cool completely.
Beat together the cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until 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 intact.
Sprinkle the remaining strawberry gelatin over the cookie crumbs and drizzle with melted butter. Pulse a few more times until combined.
Spread the cookie crumbles over the frosted brownies and gently press them down.
Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Use high-quality cream cheese for a richer frosting.
Chill the brownies before cutting for cleaner edges.
You can substitute another flavored cake mix if strawberry is unavailable.
