Ingredients

  • 1 package (15.25 oz) white cake mix
  • 1 cup water (or as directed by cake mix)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or as directed by cake mix)
  • 3 large eggs (or as directed by cake mix)
  • 1 package (3 oz) strawberry gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 20 Golden Oreo cookies
  • 1.5 ounces strawberry gelatin powder (half of a 3 oz box)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Bake the white cake in a 9x13 inch pan according to the package instructions and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes across the entire surface of the cake at 1-inch intervals.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the 3-ounce package of strawberry gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water until dissolved, then stir in 1/2 cup of cold water.
  • Slowly pour the gelatin mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the poked holes.
  • Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the gelatin to set.
  • Pulse Golden Oreos in a food processor until they form coarse crumbs.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, 1.5 ounces of strawberry gelatin powder, and melted butter, stirring until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Spread the thawed whipped topping in an even layer over the chilled cake.
  • Evenly distribute the strawberry crunch topping over the whipped layer.
  • Slice into squares and serve chilled.
