WEEKLY CANDY: Every Burger/Weird Japanese Chocolate Tree Stump Jawns

Once a week, Team Meal Ticket shares its latest sugar-laden fixations. Do not tell 0ur dentist. IN QUESTION: We're heading back to Japan this week with a box of Every Burger. I'm also including a tree-stump shaped candy (right) in this week's column because they taste exactly the same, and that taste is delicious. Each little Every Burger strives for visual authenticity, down to the faux sesame seeds on the crumbly cookie buns. The patty is soft chocolate accompanied by an unidentifiable beige cream. Nothing world-rocking, but pretty tasty, texturally pleasing, with a somewhat hazelnut-y aftertaste. WHERE TO BUY: I copped these at Spring Garden Market (400 Spring Garden St.). Spotted a few items over: Meiji Chocorooms in their authentic Japanese box! HOW MANY DO WE TYPICALLY EAT IN ONE SITTING: Each box contains two sleeves of burgers or stumps. One sleeve is just right. FINER POINTS: The gleeful pipe-smoking, deforestation-loving mascot on the tree stump candy looks awesome, but unlike any lumberjack I've ever seen. Can anyone out there translate the print on the box for me? The distributor's Nutrition Facts label says "Choco Cookie" but I feel like these should have a better name than that.

Thanks Michelle! Just don't tell my dentist. No, for real.
