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 food processor, pulse the Golden Oreos until broken into crumbs, leaving some larger pieces for texture.
- Add the remaining strawberry gelatin and melted butter to the cookie crumbs, pulsing until combined but still chunky.
- Sprinkle the cookie crumble mixture over the brownies and gently press down into the frosting.
- Cut into squares and serve.
