Cashews instead of peanuts and new yogurt bars are among the new in-flight snacks Delta Air Lines is testing. But the airline is keeping its signature Biscoff cookies in the mix.

Atlanta-based Delta is testing the new in-flight snacks through Aug. 21 on certain flights out of Atlanta and Minneapolis. The test for snacks in economy class includes Emerald cashews, Snyder's pretzels, NatureBox yogurt bars and Biscoff.
