Yes. Depending on your nutritional needs. I recommend looking into it from a personal perspective.

Peanut butter can be a problem for several reasons. Many people are allergic to peanuts, which can even cause death from anaphylactic shock if not treated immediately. Peanut plants are subject to a mold that produces aflatoxin, a cancer-causing substance, and this may be present in peanut butter. Some brands of peanut butter contain hydrogenated oil, sugar, and other additives like salt that may not be healthful for people with particular medical conditions. For these reasons, almond butter can be better. It is high in protein and fat (because of the fat and calories it should be eaten in moderate amounts) as well as vitamin E and minerals, but it usually doesn't contain additives. On the negative side, almonds contain natural substances called oxalates, which can cause health problems for people with kidney or gallbladder conditions. This is why, as suggested above, your personal needs should be taken into account when deciding which nut butter is better for you.

Almond butter is sometimes - thought not always - considered "better" or "healthier" than peanut butter. Almond butter tends to be organic by more brands than regular peanut butter, and so it is also less processed. Because certain brands of peanut butter are very commercialized, they can have added processed sugars and fats in them. This does not apply to all brands or almond/peanut comparisons, though.
