Challenge three won't clear for splitting and joining

This is the code I've written and I'm pretty sure it is right but why isn't it working

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

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

The semicolon for split should be in quotation marks. Also, the challenge asks for another variable called display_menu to help complete the menu formatting.
