Don't worry too much about him being jealous of your time and attention - are you spending what YOU think is enough time with him?
You don't say how long he has been sober, or if there are drugs in the story as well as drink. It is very common for an addict to really crave sweets in the beginning stages of getting clean. If you ever have a chance to go to a rehab, check it out - there is candy everywhere!
If you are worried about his health or his weight from the sweets, there are healthier choices that will satisfy his cravings - diet pop, fruit juices, and my husband found that popsicles gave him what he needed, without all the added fat of chocolate.
This probably won't last too long, though. You can always go for a walk with him, we walk to our meetings together if the weather is nice.
