So I’m on Twitter and I see that Paula Dean is a trending topic, so I click it to read a few tweets to figure out what’s going on. Guess what? She has diabetes.

The tweet at the top of the page was this gem:

Chef Paula Deen reveals she has diabetes. In unrelated news, here’s Paula’s recipe for deep-fried balls of butter: shar.es/WRMFJ

I retweeted because I thought it was cute, but I didn’t click the link because I figured it was just a link to the guy’s site or something. People always capitalize on trending topics to get some clicks. A few minutes later, I have this amazing revelation that the link might actually go to a recipe for deep fried balls of butter.

It does go to a recipe of butter balls.

Putting aside how ridiculous this recipe is, I always get sucked into reading comments on every page I load. Often, they’re way better than the actual content published on the page.

I wasn’t disappointed:

These balls are a little bite of Heaven. I took the liberty of altering the recipe a bit — typically I increase the butter up to four or five sticks and don’t bother with the cream cheese (I am trying to eat healthier. When they’re done, I drip melted butter over the top as well — I find it tastes better this way. These are also good for every occassion: My son’s soccer team loves these for after-game meals, they were the big “snack rave” at my mother’s funeral, and my dog can eat seven of these in one sitting. These are great for “on-the-go” when you don’t have time to prepare other meals during the week, so my family tends to enjoy these 3-4 nights/week for dinner. 5-stars, highly recommended.

The user’s name is “ILoveButter99.” I hope this is the work of a brilliant troll, since there is only one comment and rating attributed to this receipe. Otherwise, I’m led to believe that the 99 in the username is the total tonnage of their family.
