Roll the Coconut Wheels Horizontally.

Unfreeze the coconut wheels at the bottom of the level as soon as possible. If you roll them horizontally they can help break though the meringue . Roll two through the same area to totally destroy the meringue.

Break Through the Meringues to Win.

The ingredients you need to win are locked above the meringues and chocolate fountains. Breaking down the meringues to get the ingredients should be your highest priority. Remember that layered meringues take multiple hits to fully dissolve.

Block the Chocolate Fountains.

The chocolate fountains can be one of the biggest obstacles to beating this level. The fountains fill any empty space next to them with a chocolate block. If the fountain is protected by the upper meringue s, then it will continue to fill the screen with chocolate.

Candy Crush Level 249 Video

Level 249 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to bring the 4 ingredients down and score 40,000 points in 45 moves. The level type first appears in level 11 and has now made over 150 appearances. In order to complete an ingredients level, a player must bring down the shown amount of ingredients to the bottom of the board. There two types of ingredients are cherries an hazelnuts. For every one collected, a player will receive 10,000 points.

How to Beat Ingredients Levels:

  • Wrapped candies will do fairly well for ingredients as well. These special candies will crush a large cluster of candies. Therefore, the wrapped candy should be used close to or directly below an ingredient.
  • Color bombs can also made a big impact in ingredient levels. For example, you can use one to remove a candy immediately blocking your ingredient or you can combine it with a striped candy to pretty much guarantee your ingredient's exit.
  • Striped candies are your best friends in ingredients levels. The reason behind this is that when they are activated, they will clear out an entire row(horizontal) or column(vertical) on the board. However, since vertically striped candies clear an entire column, they are far and away the best weapon in this level type. Always try to ensure that vertically striped candies and your ingredients are in the same column. When they are, the vertically striped candy will clear drop the ingredient in one swift and efficient move. For better results, align multiple candies in the same column.
  • As you progress further into the game, you will see your ingredients path to the bottom more and more obstructed by various blockers. To combat this, especially at the bottom, make sure to shift your ingredient to the a clear row or column.

Bonus Tip: Ingredient Drop Path

AI

Clear blockers in the drop path first. Vertical striped candies are your best friend - they punch through obstacles and push ingredients down fast.
