In the middle ages, poor people did occasionally get treats. For example, there were times of the year when poor people were given presents. Maundy money was given out to poor people regularly in England on the Thursday before Easter, and this custom seems to have started nearly immediately on the adoption of Christianity at the end of the 6th century. There were also special occasions, such as coronations, announcements of births, weddings, and so on, when the poor were traditionally given money, cakes, or other small gifts.

serfs
Poor people far outnumbered middle class in the Middle Ages. The serfs and other peasants were the great majority of the population, and the Middle Class was very small. So there were more cottages for poor people than middle class houses.
Medieval people did get treats and snacks. Poor laboring people got snacks often, though not sweets, because they needed food to be able to work. People who could afford them ate fruits, including dried fruits and raisins. Wealthy people got desserts, including a variety of pastries and cakes. Caramel and marzipan were both medieval developments.

I am not sure the Church was "hard" during the Middle Ages. The Church spent a lot of energy providing for the sick and poor, giving people refuge, representing the needs of the poor to the kings, and protecting people.
