Try butter-dipped ice cream at the Iowa State Fair

If you're a fan of everything creamy and dairy, there's a new ice cream at the Iowa State Fair for you.

Driving the news: Coney Corner is selling butter-dipped ice cream ($6) with either vanilla or butter beer soft serve.

The cone is dipped in real, melted butter that hardens into a shell, and sea salt is sprinkled on top. (Similar to a chocolate or a strawberry dipped cone.)

What they're saying: The idea behind the ice cream was inspired by the infamous "deep-fried butter on a stick" from 2011.
