Tips & Strategies

  • 1

    Move ingredients to exit columns

    With chocolate dispensers and two-layer meringues, this level makes bringing down ingredients surprisingly difficult. Your first priority is to get the ingredients away from the sides of the board where they face the most resistance. Clear up some space with striped/wrapped candy combos and move your ingredients into the proper columns.

  • 2

    Open up some space

    In order to succeed here, it's imperative that you open up some space for the ingredients to fall while keeping the chocolate at bay. Keep the chocolate from taking over the board with striped/wrapped candy combos. If the chocolate overwhelms the board, you will not be able to beat this level. Focus your energy on eliminating the two-layer meringues that stand in your way.

  • 3

    Vertical striped candies

    The most efficient way to make room for ingredients is with vertical striped candies. Using a large amount of vertical striped candies will keep the columns you need open. They are also powerful tools for fending off chocolate and destroying the meringues.

I am rageing on this level! I want to throw my tablet and delete the game! I wish we could even when i pass a level. It would definitely be this one! I am going to end up quitting the game because of this level. It is not fun anymore. Even when I get a good move set up, or a candy bomb, the chocolate immediately covers it! Grrrrrr!

A similar level to this was in the 200's, it was boring then, as is this one, I got stuck on 347 for weeks and weeks, but it wasn't boring like this level, I've only been on it a few days and it makes me weary just looking at it!!

It's just about luck. Don't waste money. You'll get through if you play enough times.

For me the game is losing its luster. I'm all for tough levels,I have some problem with the games programming. This level I haven't played that often because I know from past experiences levels with simple layouts are designed to be hard to beat. Makes no sense to me how I can defeat levels in the 600's but levels like this are extremely difficult. I play my fiance levels because they are better suited for skilled playing

This level was so frustrating... I spent a good 3 weeks struggling with it. Read all the hints and cheats... nothing seemed to help. BUT... I beat it this morning and I wanted to share what happened and what I did. First, I noticed that the vertical below the first fruit had some good stacks against the merengue... and just examining the overall board, there was lots of other good setups to distract me... but what I decided on this particular game was to try something that I had not up until this point. I was going to solely focus on the vertical below the fruit... so I did and as I did, the second fruit appeared in the same vertical... I had two fruits stacked against the last licorice and low and behold the board presented a vertical stripped candy opp for me and I cleared the vertical and two orders or fruit... As I did this, the third appeared in the very same vertical... a few moves and I was able to move another vertical stripped candy in that column and cleared the third order... Lastly, the final fruit will not present until the third has been cleared and what do you know, it appeared in the same column... but, the board attacked with chocolate focused near my open flow vertical... so as I am trying to clear the last order, I also had to fight the chocolate... I have learned to hate that chocolate BTW... With 5 moves left... I was able to side move a vertical stripped candy and clear the last order!!! I happened so fast, I was like... huh... a bit stunned. This was by fare my hardest level... 350 was hard, but I came close on it many times... this one... I HAD NEVER COME CLOSE... for like 3 weeks... Soooo... that was my story... I saw a plan, and stayed true to that plan by focusing on that one column... and it worked... Not sure if it will work for anyone else, but... heck, worth a try. I will NOT be doing this level again... Moving on!!!

I wonder if they even read these blogs. I am ready to give this level up. I have been at this level for 2 months now. :-(

I beat it using this strategy: Rollback the level until you get a fruit in the second exit column either from the left or from the right At the same time, you should also have the possibility to make a vertical striped candy in that column, in not more than 1-2 moves. Then, focus on making vertical striped candy in that column, nothing else matters. Chocolate fills the other side of the level ? Don't care. Not in any circumstances should you make the other fruit dispensers move and dispense a fruit in another column than the one you're attacking.

This level really had me stumped too.I thought it would be the one that made me spend money on this game. However it did not come to that. Here are a few big tips that might help. Number one: double wrapped candy combos work best on this level.get them low down on the board. They have a huge impact, and clear those bottom two rows quickly.this is a level where wrapped candies are pretty easy to create. Number two: The other extremely helpful combo to create is the confetti ball striped candy combo. Also fairly easy to create on this level and extremely helpful by both clearing a needed isle and knocking out chocolate. Number three: Every move counts. Look at the entire board and make the most valuable swap. Number four: Try not to move ingredients too much. Only move them if absolutely necessary. They already fall from the open isle..it's easier to just leave them there and do your best to work around them. Lastly...spin that damn wheel every day, and keep a lolly pop hammer on the side if you can. It could just win you the game. Hope this helps, good luck!
