Just when you think you have heard and seen it all . . . Here is a truly buttery snack that could only come from Texas, Deep Fried Butter! If you have the stomach (and clear arteries) for it, you can try it in couple of weeks at the State Fair of Texas. The Dallas fair lays claim to being the birthplace of the corn dog and is also known as the "Fried Food Capital of Texas."

Those little butter bombs, are finalists in a contest held over Labor Day weekend each year to pick foods that will be featured at the fair, starting Sept. 25.

Creator Abel Gonzales concedes the idea of deep-fried butter disgusts most people when they first hear about it. "But I'm not actually taking a hunk of butter and just putting in a fryer," he told NBC News. "That would be kind of gross."

Instead, he wraps a dollop of frozen, whipped butter inside sweetened dough and quickly fries it. The result supposedly tastes like the most buttery bread you've ever had.
