Need help

I can't figure out the right way to initialize it in the following task..

We need to add the first chocolate to our box. Create a stored property named caramelDelight. To this dictionary add a key named flavor that stores a value named caramel to the caramelDelight dictionary to initialize it.

ChocolateBox.swift 
struct ChocolateBox {
  caramelDelight: String?
  flavor: [caramel]
}

In your challenge it says to create a property which you create either using a variable or constant i.e. "var caramelDelight"or "let caramelDelight" and it also says to make it a dictionary by adding a key = "flavor" and value = "caramel", so you do var caramelDelight = ["flavor" : "caramel"]. You can also do it explicitly as your were doing but this way , var caramelDelight : [String:String] = ["flavor" : "caramel"] . Remember declare everything in once line because you want to initialize a dictionary, i wrote variable and dictionary separately just to explain you.

Hope it helps !!
