Ration the spoils: Limit the number of homes or flats your children visit while trick or treating to cut down on the amount of sweets they get.
Prioritise the loot: After your child goes trick or treating, go through his or her bag of sweets together. Get rid of all the sweets your child doesn't like, then divide the rest into three piles: foods that will spoil in a few days (fruit, etc.); sugary sweets and chocolate; and a miscellaneous pile for chewing gum, money, etc. Let your child eat the treats that will spoil first, as those are likely to be healthiest, and save the others for later.
