So Lube, this really is a question for you..
What could be added to lower viscosity without adding much more oil?? And how could you keep it homogenized??

hmmm, my expertise is in heavy equipment lubrication but if I was gonna wake this flow I would do a few things.
1) make sure the peanut particles were very small - milling might be in order. Processing may solve the problem.
2) adding more oil may mess with the taste but there are other ingrediants that are used in food stuff that might do the trick. Prehaps a light corn syrup or a peanut oil/water emulsion. I would have to research it.
3) Prehaps if the viscosity could be brought down to a flowible level at ambient temp, then just have it in a microwavable container and serve warm. The viscosity will decrease upon heating.
