Notes

• You can also bake in a 9×13-inch baking dish. The brownies will be thinner, but there will still be enough frosting and cookie crumble to cover in thinner layers. The brownies will also bake in less time.
• Adding some of the strawberry gelatin into the brownie batter gives them a punch of extra flavor and also helps to make them extra chewy/fudgy. 
• Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your brownies as the suggested baking time approaches.
• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t end up with lumps in the cream cheese frosting.
• These brownies are thick and so sweet and delicious.  We cut them into nine 2.5×2.5-inch pieces, but 16 smaller pieces would be great for serving with other treats.
