I'm going to make the acceptable answers broad so jam, preserves, etc are all acceptable. I'm a fig jam or apple butter man myself.

concord grape is the only right answer. but if I'm being honest, if I'm in the mood for jelly, I want it on toast.

I've always walked around saying I don't like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but now that I think about it, that's not true. I don't mind eating one, it's not gross, it's not delicious, but the issue is that jelly is so God damn good by itself. every time I eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I just imagine eating that jelly on toast instead.

and if we're doing toast, strawberry is better than grape.

What about a toasted pb&j?

now you've given me the idea of putting peanut butter on a grilled cheese

Grilled Peanut Butter Sandwiches are definitely a thing & quite delicious. I’m just not sure I’d ever add cheese to the flavor pallet.

I've definitely put plain peanut butter sandwiches in a panini press before.

nah, the problem is the peanut butter. I have the same feeling about chocolate, I think chocolate is the perfect flavor. adding peanut butter or mint to it is fine, it's not disgusting, but all you're doing is distracting from the chocolate. I feel like the peanut butter distracts from the flavor of the jelly, I'd rather eat jelly on toast and then a plain peanut butter sandwich. toasted peanut butter sandwich would be better
