Registered Nurse here; Well the answer is both in moderation. Each contain different nutrients, some of the same nutrients. Therefore, Almonds and Peanuts, both excellent choice for snacks. Alternate them, and you have the best of both. Thanks for the opportunity to address your question.
ADDENDUM: Well I stand alone looks like, but this is truly the correct answer, eating just almonds, or just peanuts is not healthy. Peanuts do contain more fat, however they also contain antioxidants that Almonds do not, and Almonds contain antioxidants that peanuts do not. One needs a steady balanced diet of each to have benefits of both nuts.

Almonds are healthier because they are also a significant source of calcium. For the amount of nutrients in each, you get more bonuses from almonds per calorie than peanuts in the long run.

almonds are healthier
Peanuts are more fattening and they bloat you almonds are actually good for the heart.
Eating almonds significantly increases vitamin E levels in the plasma and red blood cells and simultaneously lowers cholesterol levels, finds a small study.
But then again one day they say one thing and then the next day they say another with all those scientific studies.

Almonds. They have many antioxidants and as many healthy fats as peanuts, but without the extra calories.

Almonds by far! Try them mixed with Craisins, makes a great snack!

Probably almonds. They may have less fat than peanuts, not sure.
