A FAN favorite ice cream flavor from a popular franchise has returned for a limited time.
Customers were thrilled with the news, with some saying they won't be walking but running to their nearest shop.
The seemingly iconic flavor is pistachio — specifically from the Carvel ice cream chain.
Carvel became the first retail ice cream shop to become a franchise back in 1947, according to its website.
The historic chain reportedly celebrated St. Patrick's Day all March long with two green-colored additions to its menu, per QSR Magazine.
Along with the franchise's Mint KIT KAT DUO options, its soft-serve pistachio flavor returned on March 27.

It's unclear how long the flavor will stay in Carvel shops around the country, so ice cream fanatics should act fast.
Not to mention, the flavor is being offered in multiple forms of delicious dessert treats.
It comes in soft-serve, scooped ice cream, and through Carvel's Flying Saucers and even a Pistachio Crunchies Dasher.
The scooped pistachio runs for about $5.49 depending on customers' location, with the Flying Saucers going for $3.49, soft serve at $5.09, and the Pistachio Crunchies Dasher at $8.49, per GrubHub.

The sudden return of pistachio could also be attributed to a recent rise in demand for the flavor among customers.
Data collected by Datassentials reportedly confirmed that pistachio flavor has grown 62 percent in shakes over the past four years, per QSR.
Either way, fans took to social media to cheer for Carvel's decision to bring the flavor back for a limited period.
One fan even professed their desire to sprint to one of the franchise's locations immediately.
"Carvel has pistachio soft serve, and I’ve never run into a building faster," they wrote.
The official Carvel account even responded to the passionate fan.
"SPRINT," they jokingly replied.
MORE LIMITED ICE CREAM
Carvel isn't the only company looking to bring back limited flavors for their customers this month.
As The U.S. Sun previously reported, Dairy Queen has added two new Blizzard flavors to their menu.
They include the Oreo Brookie Blizzard and Peanut Butter Puppy Chow Blizzard.
The former includes Oreos, brownies, and cookie pieces, while the latter has peanut butter toppings and cocoa chunks.
Both items are offered between $3.96 to $6 depending on size preference, according to prices listed on the app at a local Dairy Queen location viewed by The U.S. Sun.
Additionally, Walmart recently announced that it would be offering Van Leeuwen Ice Cream's ranch dressing flavor at its store locations.
The ranch flavor comes in a partnership with Hidden Valley.
Van Leeuwen Hidden Valley Ranch is sold exclusively at Walmart from March 20 through May 28 or as supplies last.
