It's unlikely they can hurt you, but it's good you stopped.
Eating rancid nuts or oil releases free radicals in your blood stream and long term that's not good.

Rancid Peanuts

Peanuts should be chosen carefully as they may not be as nutritionally sound at first glance. Most commercially prepared butters contain added salt, sugar, and hydrogenated oils. Commercial preparation also removes the germ of the peanut so that the butter will not go rancid, but doing so removes most of the nutrients as well. Moldy peanuts should never be eaten as they are contaminated with carcinogenic toxins called aflatoxins. Peanuts are among the foods most often implicated as triggering allergic reactions. Symptoms can range from hives to gastric upsets, to swellings of the lips, eyes, tongue, eventually causing breathing problems.

No, you'd have to eat an awful lot to make you sick. Don't even worry about it. The taste was the worst part.
