12 Days of Christmas - Oreo Peppermint Bark
“Eleven Pipers Piping” - Oreo Peppermint Bark
These are for our little “pipers” – something for the children!
Ingredients:
1 cups milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 Oreos, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
20 soft peppermints, crushed
Directions:
1. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
2. Put milk chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Pour chocolate onto prepared cookie sheet and spread flat. Sprinkle with chopped Oreos. Chill for 10 minutes.
3. Put white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat on 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. (white chocolate heats faster so using 50% power prevents burning).
4. Pour white chocolate over Oreos and spread to the edges of the milk chocolate.
5. Sprinkle with crushed peppermints. Chill until set. Break into pieces and serve.
Would make a great gift in a tin, jar or cute bag!

12 Days of Christmas - Garlic Standing Rib Roast
“Ten Lords a-Leaping” – Garlic Standing Rib Roast
This will make the men “leap” for joy!
Ingredients:
· 1 (10 pound) standing rib roast
· 5 tablespoons minced garlic
· 2 tablespoons olive oil
· 2 teaspoons salt
· 2 teaspoons pepper
· 2 teaspoon dried thyme
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
2. Place the roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Spread the mixture of the fatty layer of the roast and let it sit out until it is room temperature, no longer than one hour.
3. Bake the roast for 20 minutes at 500 degrees, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees. Continue cooking for about 60 to 75 minutes. The internal temperature of the roast should be at 135 degrees for medium rare.
4. Allow the roast to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving so the meat can retain its juices. This will also allow the temperature to rise to about 145 degrees.

12 Days of Christmas - Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate
On the 8th Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... "Eight Maids a-Milking" ....
Continuing our 12 Days of Christmas inspired recipes, today's is a keeper for sure. This would be perfect for your holiday festivities. I've made this recipe in the slow cooker and on the stove top. I've transferred it to hot pots to take tailgating. It is yummy!
Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dry baking cocoa
1 can sweetened condensed milk
7 1/2 cups skim milk
2 teaspoon vanilla
Mini-marshmallows, for garnish
Directions:
Put all ingredients in a slow cooker and mix well. Cook on low for 3 hours, stirring every hour. Serve with mini-marshmallows.
Note: Stove top method: Put all ingredients in a large pot on medium heat. Simmer for about 30-45 minutes, stirring almost constantly. The milk has a tendency to scald if you're not careful to stir.
