Default Butternut whys and wherefores...

Hey all...

I used to love getting donuts at bakeries that were referred to as
butternut donuts (better still, chocolate butternut donuts...yumm) that
had a crunchy, tasty coating. What does "butternut" refer to, actual
butternuts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butternut) or butternut squash
or some mutant flavoring? Anyone know? Bueller? I have seen recipes
for cakes that use butternut flavoring, but I wanna make sure it's what
I have in mind. Some recipe sites seem to imply that flavorings
referred to as "Vanilla Butter & Nut Flavoring" are the same as
"Butternut Flavoring", but is this true? If the crunchy donut coatings
were actual butternuts, will "Butternut Flavoring" give me a similar
taste, if not the crunchy texture?
