strawberries,
wiped clean and patted dry
32
(½ inch) candy eyes
16
brown M&M's

Instructions
Pour the chocolate into a small bowl or glass.
Dip one strawberry into the chocolate then set it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Take a fork and press it into the chocolate, then pull up and away quickly creating spikes.
Repeat this process until the entire chocolate strawberry looks furry.
Immediate press two candy eyes and an M&M nose onto the chocolate.
Dip the cut edge of two chocolate wafers in chocolate and attach them to either side of the top of the strawberry creating the bear's ears.
Let the strawberry air dry.
Repeat dipping all 16 bears.
If desired, brush a second layer of chocolate over the bottom of each strawberry to seal in the berry.
