                    Treat Idea 2: Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

                      Wash strawberries and pat dry thoroughly, making sure there's no moisture.

                        Melt the semisweet chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.

                          Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.

                            Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

                              If using white chocolate, melt it and drizzle over the dipped strawberries.

                                Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.

                                  Prep Time: 15 min | Total Time: 45 min | Servings: 12 strawberries
