This code block is working in console, but getting an error in code challenge

I tried this code in the Workspace console and it works fine but the code challenge keeps telling me it didn't find the right sequence of commas and sundaes

banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = ', '.join(sundaes)
menu.format(display_menu)

one of the instructions is to reassign to the menu variable the final formatted string. that is all you are missing, actually reassigning what you have to menu.
