I keep getting an error that states "Didn't find the right amount of commas"

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

Right on, until the last:

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