Just go for volume. Unless you have very unhealthy eating patterns of a proper sedentary fatty who can sit on their arse chugging coca cola all day it is likely that eating sweet things probably satiates you and stops you from eating more.
For a active person with healthyish food habits, eating stuff with simple sugars or mainly carbs can be an excellent way to lose weight because these foods "spoil your appetite" and can end up giving you a low calorie total.
Also going for a short period of cramming simple sugar and little else would not be great for your health.
I would recommend increasing everything and making sure each item is as calorie dense as you can make it. If you consume dairy, it has the perfect balance of carbs/fat/protein. If you do not, coconut milk is an excellent source of calories. Drink a can every day, makes excellent hot chocolate. Add some to food too if you like.
Increase quantities of oil, eat plenty of potatoes, chick peas etc..
Try to hit every angle, if you can do it, do it. Cumulative gains! Dont let one food cancel another out, have both.
