Cupid's Crack & Chocolate Dipped Pretzels

Happy Valentines Week! Last night I started the first round of my Valentine's baking. Cupid's Crack and Chocolate Dipped Pretzels are two of my favorite desserts because you can easily change them up for each holiday. All you have to do is switch up the sprinkles and m&m's! Also, they are somewhat healthy :)

First I made the chocolate dipped pretzels. I saved a little bit of the melted chocolate for the Cupid's Crack!
