If the alcohol used in sweets transforms into another substance before being mixed with them, then there is no harm in eating them or gifting them. However, if the alcohol remains in its original state upon mixing, then it is not permissible to eat them, due to their containing intoxicating and impure intoxicants, nor is it permissible to gift them to others.
