Mmm, Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs. So, incredibly, deliciously sweet that for me they're like Instant Migraine In A Packet (just add stomach acid). Arrggllll....

Oh. My. God. Does it taste anything like peanut butter?

No....good gods, no. Peanut butter is about as close to Marmite as gently stroking a cat's back is like waking up with its tail in your mouth.

What would you compare it to?

Shit-on-a-shingle. Crap-on-a-cracker. Poop-soup. Not that I've ever eaten any of these things (though there was that coffee shop we visited once because it was so close to our house in Sydney...), but, ignoring everything that anyone else has said, Marmite can be compared to many things, barely any of them food-related, though the closest one is a "food" (in a similar fashion), and that's Vegemite.

It's a bit like a less sweet version of vegemite, but that will undoubtedly only help any Australians in the Llounge.

It's no help. I've tried both, and, at the risk of being excommunicated from the Church of Bruce, Bruce & Bruce, Woolloomooloo Diocese, they both are vile muck literally scraped from the bottom of the (beer) barrel (well, okay, I'm ironically being rather loose with the word "literally").
It's funny, but no-one ever mentions Promite. Oddly, I don't mind Promite (though I think it's the sweetness - more "molasses" hints - that does it).

Sails Restaurant used to do a wonderful, sweet breakfast "risotto", with almond-slivers, honey-drizzle and coconut-cream. ~sigh~ That was rather yum.
