To be clear, the article from last year shows that the whole centering on butter is a marketing gimmick: It is indeed a stick of butter at heart. But it's dipped in a sweet batter, then fried, so the effect is really a fried, sweet-tasting funnel-cake-like concoction that's super buttery in the middle.
