any other suggestions?

Cinnamon glazed peanuts
Caramel-peanut popcorn (homemade Cracker Jack)
Caramel apples rolled in crushed peanuts

Not really, other than to say peanut brittle tastes much better when
made with raw (spanish) peanuts.

I love beer nuts ... so far 10 recipes say to start with raw peanuts

My DIL makes penuche using peanuts instead of pecans. It's very good.

That's probably the best suggestion for already roasted peanuts.

Make your own peanut butter. I don't know if that's a "treat" but,
considering the way some folks can't keep the stuff in the house for
fear of eating it in too-large amounts, I think it might qualify.

In our house, we like roasted, unsalted nuts as a topping on salads.
Usually it's pine nuts, sometimes walnuts, sometimes almonds; I'd try
peanuts, perhaps making the pieces a bit smaller in a food processor
first, though.

Sate would be another fine use. It's a Far Eastern peanut-based sauce,
usually spicy and sweet in my experience, often served as a dipping
sauce for grilled meats but I'm sure there are a thousand other ways to
use it as well. I usually think of it as Thai but I've had it in
Chinese and Vietnamese cooking also.

Cracker jacks sound like a plan! I sure wish I could eat them. That,
or Fiddle Faddle (or whatever passes for it these days).

The only thing I really liked in Cracker Jacks was the coated peanuts.

I used to like the toys, when they were actually toys... but then the
toy police decided they were a hazard so then all you got was a piece
of paper printed with some inane nonsense. They changed the recipe
maybe 25 years ago, last I tried Cracker Jacks they were nothing like
the original, now they are awful... if I want a snack I'd rather beer
nuts with a Slim Jim.

Saute' peanuts in a bit of cooking oil, and add hot sauce.

Make sure you cover it with a runny hollandaise. A sauce that I'd be ashamed to show to Betty Crocker.

You're preaching to a man who doesn't have a clue what a simple hollandaise sauce should look like. Good luck. I'd rather have a box of jax than eggs benny made by sqirtz.
