I think any refined sugar is a lot, personally, when it is a regular part of the diet. What we sometimes do is buy a big tub of plain, unsweetened yogurt (not vanilla), and add all-fruit (no sugar added) jams, mix & presto: sweet, delicious, any-flavor yogurt. Or you could add honey or maple syrup and fresh fruit. And it will also save you money.

If they like peanut butter & jelly, they might like peanuts (or other nuts) and fruit or raisins. Maybe an unsweetened trail mix might be good. Sure, it seems more like a snack than a meal, but it sounds like they're getting plenty of bread already, and both nuts & fruits are great, healthy foods.
