A "treat" can also be a candy or another sweet food that is not eaten often: "They picked up cookies and a few other treats at the grocery store." The phrase "trick or treat" is said by children on Halloween night to ask for candy at neighbors' homes. As a verb, "to treat" means to behave toward another person in a particular way: "Please treat your teachers with more respect." Or, "The prison is investigating accusations that corrections officers are treating prisoners poorly."
