Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
If your husband’s source of income is halal and he is contributing to the groceries and bills with his income, then your consumption of anything will be attributed to your husband’s halal income.[1]
Your husband may contribute extra for the chocolates and sweets your father in law buys for his grandchildren. That too will be attributed to your husband’s halal income.  
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
