Chris Stelzl invented them as a Jr. High School project in 1976. He was a fan of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and M&M's as a child. So he created his two favorites into one. He created a drawing showing the idea with a letter and sent it to both Mars and Hershey's. Although he never received a response from either company, Hershey's came out with the product in1978 and then it was used in the movie E.T. the rest id history.

What candy did Elliot use to lure ET in the house?
Reeses pieces. Director Steven Spielberg wanted to use M&M's but they wanted too much money for permission, so he asked Reeses and he said once in an interview that they didnt even charge him for the rights - smart, because they sold out everywhere in the world for like 2 years after ET came out in 1982. I think whoever at M&Ms mfr. that played hardball and got greedy is probably a janitor today ;)
