Adding an object to an array.

I am getting this message on my work: "Bummer! Make sure you're adding the caramelDelight dictionary to the chocolateBox array and check your syntax!" Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.

GiftBasket.h 
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface GiftBasket : NSObject

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *chocolateBox;
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSDictionary *caramelDelight;

@end
GiftBasket.m 
#import "GiftBasket.h"

@implementation GiftBasket

- (instancetype)init
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        //Add your code below
        [_caramelDelight initWithObjectsAndKeys: @"caramel", @"flavor", nil];
        [_chocolateBox initWithObjects: _caramelDelight, nil];
    }
    return self;
}

@end

Remember that you have to allocate memory for your objects (by sending them the alloc message) before you initialize them with init.

Thanks, Eirik. Not enough coffee, I suppose.
