Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a thick dough forms. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, then press the brownie mixture evenly into the bottom. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the edges start to pull away and the center is set. Allow to cool completely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, frozen whipped topping, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this layer evenly over the cooled brownie.
  3. Crush the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs. Combine with melted butter and the chosen strawberry flavoring. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the cream layer, pressing down lightly.
  4. Cover the bars with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Once chilled, cut into squares and serve cold.
