Help... is butter and whipped butter the same?

I hope I didnt ruin my a la vodka sauce! I went every where today looking for sweetened butter ...no one had it except if it was whipped sweetened butter. So I bought the whipped and after putting in the whole pound, I wondering if I messed up the recipe.

I could be wrong but my take on it is that whipped butter is fluffed up per say so that its easier to spread on bagels and toast etc.

I think its the same thing- just diff. consistency

Sweetened butter is going to be unsalted, so even though your butter may be whipped, it might have salt in it.

I would assume that a pound of butter is a pound of butter no matter how much whipping you do.
