Who invented goobers candy?

Goobers candy wasn't invented by a single person. It was a product of the Planters Peanut Company in the early 20th century.

While the exact origin story isn't widely documented, it's generally understood that the company created Goobers as a way to utilize peanut surpluses. They combined roasted peanuts with a simple caramel coating, giving birth to a sweet treat that quickly gained popularity.

So, while there isn't a specific "inventor," the Planters Peanut Company deserves credit for bringing Goobers to the world.
