Im not sure what Im doing wrong here. Any ideas?
// Enter your code below
"CC": "Chocolate Chip"
"AP": "Apple Pie"
"PB": "Peanut Butter"
var iceCream: [String: String] = ["CC": "Chocolate Chip", "AP": "Apple Pie", "PB": "Peanut Butter"]

Your dictionary definition is spot on (but bear in mind that you don't need to explicitly specify the type when the compiler can infer the type).
Your error is that you've copied the key value pairs into the lines above your dictionary definition where they are invalid syntax (and redundant since you specify those key value pairs again in your dictionary definition itself).
Hope that helps
Cheers
Alex

What I mean is that your last line is correct and is the whole solution to the challenge. Your other lines are invalid syntax and should just be deleted.
