I have alcoholism, and if you are like me, it's a really bad idea to intentionally consume ANYTHING that has alcohol in it. 

Doing so runs the risk of re-awakening the insane alcoholic cravings and the 'insanity of the first drink'.

And if I were taking Antabuse, that could all still happen, PLUS I would run the risk of getting extremely sick.

When I was new and had thoughts like this, about 'could I SOMEHOW consume SOME amount, or SOME form of alcohol, if I tried it THIS way, or under THESE circumstances' etc., it was because I did not yet fully understand "step one", and I was still trying to figure out how to successfully drink, instead of trying to learn how to successfully NOT drink, one day at a time.

If the food item has any alcohol in it, then consuming any of it while taking Antabuse is a poor choice. You might have a reaction.

Daniela . I HAD to go to any lengths to stay sober . The 1st for me was Not picking up the 1st drink.

In over 30years of sobriety I have Not knowingly had Anything with alcohol in it , eg , food cooked with alcohol.

To me it Could be a Trigger . For me , I Loved the taste of all the alcoholic drinks I drank , the effect , the bs & drama.

For me . I would Not risk it . 30 days or 30yrs . There ARE too many Triggers . Alcohol  IS alcohol.

NewDaniela, you've gotten some great responses ... Please pay attention to them and do the right thing ... let someone else have the chocolates and get you some without alcohol in them ,,,

Non-Alcoholic Beer is not for Alcoholics.
Antabuse and Alcohol do not mix and you'll feel miserable is what I've heard at meetings.

I had over a year of sobriety and accidentally ate a chocolate brandy cream at an office party. Before I even realized what I had eaten, I felt an immediate physiological change within. I was obsessed all day with the fact that alcohol had entered my body. That evening, I made my way to a liquor store and drank alcoholically for the next two years. Don't under-estimate the power of the poison!
