OK Mr. Smartass
It is really very easy for you to go look it up.
You just have to google up: “Who invented peanut butter”

https://www.google.com/search?q=Who+invented+peanut+butter&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

OR, if you really wanted to, you could go to wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_butter

and find out that George Washington Carver is often mistakenly credited as the inventor.
Whatever, dude.
You just go on ahead and believe whatever the hell you want to believe.
Don’t let the truth and facts stand in your way.
I was not being a smartaleck. I sincerely want to be corrected when I’m mistaken. Professor Carver did not invent peanut butter, it was already being used in many ways. But his promotion of the peanut and more than 100 uses for the peanut as an excellent rotational crop, as a source of protein, etc. is what I clumsily referred to. I also believe that had he not taken the peanut as a cause, the use of it might have languished.
He was a great man in many ways. On his tombstone it reads, “He could have added fortune to fame, but caring for neither, he found happiness and honor in being helpful to the world.” That is a posthumous accolade we could aspire to, don’t ya think?
I stand corrected.
Marcellus Gilmore Edson patented peanut butter.
