I'm new here, but I've been dealing with the same issue also. I don't necessarly need to gain weight, but I know I need more calories than I have been getting to function properly. The people at the Fitness & Lifestyle Board here have really been kind in helping me with that.
I don't have much advice really, other than from what I gather, many "sweets" are perfectly safe. The things that seem like pure sugar (because they are!) are generally the safest. Jelly beans, twizzlers (licorice), gum drops, marshmallows, those types of things. Granted, not the healthiest, but if you already eat a healthy diet, you can add in a handful of any of those for some safe calories. Also more bread and potato type foods are generally calorie dense.
Good luck, I certainly understand. I'm also struggling with eating enough volumne of food. Too much, and it doesn't matter how safe it was, I have a problem. I'm working on eating more frequently. Hopefully you don't have that problem, but if you do eating more frequently is a good idea. (Although I struggle to follow my own advice on that one! ).
Be well.
