Ruby Application Helper Invalid Authenticity Token

Help! My error message is saying : ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken. Is there something wrong with my interpolation of form_authenticity_token?

application_controller.rb

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery with: :exception

application_helper.rb

module ApplicationHelper
def auth_token
    "<input
        type='hidden'
        name='authenticity_token
        value='#{form_authenticity_token}'
    />".html_safe
end

end

Depending on what version of Rails you're using (but let's say it's 4 or 5), all you should need to get the tokens working is:

# In the html head section of app/views/layouts/application.erb
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>

You should not need the custom auth_token helper method you've created!
