Place the honey roasted peanuts in a food processor or high-speed blender.
Add the honey, salt, and peanut oil to the peanuts.
Start blending on low speed to break down the peanuts into small pieces, turning off the processor as needed to scrape down the sides.
Gradually increase the speed, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
As the peanuts turn into a thick paste, add the water one tablespoon at a time, blending to the desired consistency. This will help reduce the overall fat content while still maintaining spreadability.
Continue blending for several minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy. For extra smooth peanut butter, blend for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Taste the peanut butter and adjust honey and salt as desired.
Transfer the peanut butter to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
