They're a no bake peanut butter cookie dipped in chocolate.

OH! Thanks. Speaking of peanut butter cookies, I ran across a no
flour peanut butter cookie recipe (baked) and it's *really* good!

That's what I hear but since daughter is allergic to peanuts and I am
allergic to eggs, we'll never get to try them.

Someone here posted that before Christmas. I made them, too. I also
lost a crown biting into one. LOL No, I don't *blame* them, but they
are a little hard.

I'm careful about eating since I have a crown on one of my teeth. The
dentist says that a porcelain crown is actually stronger than a regular
tooth, but I'm not taking any chances.

Yes. And add to that emotional displacement, schizophrena, psychosis,
narcissism, and according to a psychiatrist I had to see in 1997, a touch
of autism.

Your plate is full, but at least you know what you're dealing with.

There's some sort of composite used in the US that looks like
porcelain, but they don't call it porcelain and it really will last
longer than the tooth enamel. I guess there are ways to break it if
you tried on purpose, but that's true with anything.

Sounds more like this is a newish addition.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's going to go, it's going to go. My crown
fell off when I was eating turkey (it was tender turkey), mashed potatoes,
and gravy. Those potatoes were whipped to perfection, not a lump in them.

That was because years of dental neglect (I'm better now, thanks) meant
the underlying tooth was essentially gone. The take-home lesson is not
"don't eat mashed potatoes", but "brush/floss/visit your dentist
regularly". If the tooth with the crown is feeling tender, SEE YOUR
DENTIST.

I think I got the crown originally put on shortly after I got out of
college, so it lasted me a quarter century even with my problems. It did
come off once before, but they were able to reattach it then. This is a
standard dental service and if you manage to not swallow or otherwise lose
the crown, is not an expensive procedure.

Yup. They aren't meant to last forever. I also spent years neglecting
my teeth but I just couldn't afford it at the time. It was my son or
me. I'm paying for it now.

Even when they can reattach it, it likely isn't a long-term solution. I
have one that was re-glued at Christmas and it's starting to hurt now,
so it will be replaced soon. I was hoping it could wait until the
braces come out, but that seems to be some phantom date at this point,
so it won't wait that long.

Mine lasted 12 years. Hope you get a long-term solution soon!

ObFood: Found a recipe for no-butter, no-flour cookies with peanut
butter, peanuts, and semi-sweet chips in a Martha Stewart holiday cookie
issue (of all places). Going to try it first with an egg,
then with egg-replacer because one of the gluten-free pals also learned
she was allergic to eggs. If it works, I'm going to see how they
freeze, because that will be a good treat for our coffee hour (and an
option for my friend who can't eat dairy). The gluten free shortbread I
made last week was a large hit and the not-gluten-free taste panel said
I could make it again any time but I'm always looking for more options.

I had a tooth rooted/crowned 20 years ago. At intervals, it
would bother me and I'd see a dentist, they would probe at it
and take films, but they never could identify anything wrong
with it. Then one day the crown came off (to its credit,
while eating a sandwich on a reasonably hard French roll),
so I'm now halfway through the extract/implant/restore process.

I don't think I could have done anything different, either in
terms of home care or professional care. Not to undervalue these
aspects or anything.

As much as I paid for my crown, if I ever swallow it, I'm going to be
crapping in a collander until I find it. And as much as I paid for it, I
don't mind putting it back in my mouth, even it it came out of my ass. But
I will wash it, however, and I think I won't tell the dentist where it's
been.

Okay, that made me laugh. To be honest, I think it would be pretty
hard to swallow a crown unless you're the type that doesn't chew their
food before swallowing.

Really? Mine weren't - and I made them with chunky peanut butter.
