Not sure where i am going wrong. This is the question:
Alright, let's finish making our menu. Combine the sundaes list into a new variable named display_menu, where each item in the list is rejoined together by a comma and a space (", "). Then use .format() on our existing menu variable to replace the placeholder with the new string in display_menu.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)
display_menu + ", ".join(sundaes)

You will get this error because of your '.format(display_menu)' is calling the variable 'display_menu' before you have declared it, so let's move them around.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
display_menu + ", ".join(sundaes)
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)
:( same error

Let's go back to the new code in this challenge. After looking around I notice that you used '+' and not '=' on your 'display_menu' variable
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)
