Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line or lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan for easy removal.
- Combine the strawberry cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and strawberry gelatin in a large bowl until a thick, smooth batter forms.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the surface, and bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before adding the frosting.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until the frosting is creamy and easy to spread.
- Crush the Golden Oreo cookies into coarse crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Stir the cookie crumbs together with the strawberry gelatin and melted butter until every crumb is evenly coated.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownies using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Scatter the strawberry crunch mixture evenly over the frosting and gently press it down so it sticks well.
- Cut into 9 equal squares and serve immediately or chill briefly before slicing for cleaner pieces.

Notes
These strawberry crunch brownies are even better after chilling for a bit, allowing the frosting to set and the flavors to blend beautifully. Every bite delivers a nostalgic mix of creamy, chewy, and crunchy textures.
