Ingredients
Scale

- ½ cup salted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin
- 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 20 golden oreos, about ½ standard package
- 4 tablespoons strawberry gelatin, the remaining amount

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 it aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, strawberry cake mix, and 2 tablespoons of strawberry gelatin until well blended. The batter will be thick.

- Beat together the cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla extract until well mixed. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, beating until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled brownies.
- In a food processor, pulse the Golden Oreos until they are in small pieces with some larger chunks remaining.
- Sprinkle the remaining strawberry gelatin over the cookie crumbs and drizzle with melted butter, then pulse again until combined.
- Sprinkle the cookie crumbles over the frosted brownies and gently press them down.
- Cut the brownies into squares and serve.
Notes
For an extra strawberry flavor, add fresh strawberries on top before serving.
Ensure the brownies are completely cool before adding the frosting to prevent melting.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
