No. You and it are a different kind of nut.

If she's allergic to peanuts, there is a good chance she's allergic to all nuts, that's how it is for two people I know. It all started with the peanut allergy.
I know the temptation to eat foods that are so, so good that you are highly allergic to is very great. BUT like JU said, it is very dangerous. The reactions get worse each and every time, and I'm sure worser with your asthma!
BTW, thank you for making me sound like a mother! 
I'm also sorry you can't eat peanut butter. Reeses are full of fat and preservatives.

My oldest had severe asthma as a toddler/school age kid. He nearly died after having an allergic reaction to eating a half of a cashew nut. 
To this day he never, ever eats anything without wanting to know what's in it.

As a kid the tests always showed peanut, soy, walnut, pecan and almond but never cashew. I remember the doctor trying to tell us to go to the healthfood store to buy cashew butter. 
My doctors now (and the internet) say most of these food allergies nearly always, huge percentages, go away by adulthood. I'm a freak of nature that mine are getting worse and they don't know what to do with it. What is bad is, I can eat a whole can of peanuts one day and have no reaction, and another day a snickers bite will give me a headache. But the times I "get away with it" are what keep me eating it. I know I need to stop, I'm stopping. Now to make oak trees stop pollenating and my face stop itching and swelling.

I feel your pain, I truly do. Within the last 5 years I've become severely allergic to seafood and I love seafood. I can't even eat Louis Kemp fake crab...it has just enough real seafood in it. In a day and time when shrimp is so abundant, I am going nuts because shrimp was my favorite. and clams! oh and scallops...big sea scallops in garlic butter. BUT, they make my entire body one big hive and I swell up like the marshallow man.
