Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the baking pan or line with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in granulated sugar until combined and let cool slightly.

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Allow brownies to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream.
Spread the cream cheese layer over the cooled brownies and sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies on top.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Drizzle melted chocolate over the top and garnish with whole Oreo cookies. Cut into squares and serve.
