*"I want candy!" (5,2,5)

I believe the answer is:

trick or treat

(Other definitions for trick or treat that I've seen before include "Halloween ordeal?" , "Halloween custom" , "October 31 blackmail" , "Children's protection racket at Hallowe'en?" , "Unwelcome Halloween tradition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
