Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

First, you have to wash and dry the strawberries.

Next, you have to melt the chocolate.

It is imperative that you have a more-than-willing (and devastatingly handsome) accomplice helper!

And, of course, you have to get sufficiently messy.

This pic does not do justice AT ALL to the amount of chocolate on the boy's hands. But it's what I've got, and he's so handsome I know you'll still enjoy the pic.

Finally, after *lots* of labor, you have beautiful finished product.

Um, the sort of blobbish looking thing in the lower right of the pan is a cookie that we dipped in chocolate after finishing the strawberries.

And lastly, you enjoy the finished product!

(Oh, wait…I don’t have pics of that because I was too busy stuffing my face with chocolate covered strawberries! Sorry, y’all!)
