Level 645

Difficulty

 * This level's difficulty varies enormously. It entirely depends on where the ingredient spawns. If it spawns in the central column, it's a straight shot and the level is very easy. If the ingredient spawns in either end column, it's almost impossible; you must switch it laterally four times.
 * Switching the ingredient (which will have to be done in 89% of attempts) can be quite hard.
 * Having to make only one switch is much easier than having to make two to four switches in 40 moves, which is almost impossible to do without boosters.
 * It's much easier on mobile devices as the user can keep quitting without losing a life, until the ingredient spawns in the central column.
 * The ingredient is worth 10,000 points, which is equal to the one star target score.

Strategy

 * If you are playing on mobile, restart the level until the hazelnut is located on the middle column, or can be swapped into middle in first move. (This strategy is also true if you have the Live Forever booster, no matter what device you play).
 * If you are playing on Web, make matches to move it on to the middle column.
 * Then, use two vertical striped candies to bring it down. Wrapped candies also help, as they can break chocolate easily.

Trivia

 * This is the first level with the variable difficulty, reserved entirely for levels whose difficulty is based entirely on initial outcome or luck.
