They don't talk to you but Ningyo-yaki (or doll shaped cookies) have a human quality to them when they display faces as some do.

Japan Airlines Guide to Local Souvenirs of Tokyo describes Ningyoyaki as "baked confectionery with a thin skin surrounding a rich bean jam.
Ningyoyaki are formed in the shape of dolls and they all have different
faces, so seeing various faces is a pleasure as you sample its soft
texture".
