The caramel-filled waffle is returning to United Airlines' morning flights.

Stroopwafels were introduced on United flights in February 2016 as the airline brought back free snacks. The waffle was served on flights departing before 9:45 a.m. until June, when the airline replaced them on most flights with a maple wafer cookie made by Byrd Cookie Co.

A United spokeswoman said the airline always intended to bring back the stroopwafel. It wasn't discontinued but part of a snack rotation that, according to a June news release, was designed to "continue to appeal to a broad palate."

On Twitter, United announced that the stroopwafel will be back in the snack rotation starting in January.
