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 bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, strawberry cake mix, and 2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin until well combined (batter will be thick).
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25 minutes and allow to cool completely.
In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla until combined. Add powdered sugar and heavy cream; beat until fluffy and smooth.
Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled brownies.
Using a food processor, pulse Golden Oreos until they break into pieces, leaving some larger chunks.
Sprinkle the remaining strawberry gelatin over the Oreo crumbs and drizzle with melted butter; pulse a few more times to combine.
Sprinkle the cookie crumbs over the brownies and gently press them down into the frosting.
Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Make sure to let the brownies cool completely before adding the frosting to avoid melting it.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Feel free to adjust the amount of strawberry gelatin based on your taste.
