I was able to solve this one on the second try, and with three stars and NO colour bomb use at all. And with about half the moves left unused, in fact. I think this level looks harder than it is, the key for me was to use a cocoanut wheel booster. Here's how it worked:

The barrier here is the row of licorice swirls, as has been noted. Launching a wheel horizontally clears a three-space gap in the licorice barrier. Do this twice, and you have two huge gaps to work with.

Once a gap or two has been created in the licorice, seek to create horizontal striped candies that are aligned with one of the ingredient "windows". This should prove to be fairly easy, as the number of colours facillitates the creation of special candies. Striped/Wrapped combos are especially effective -- I took out two ingredients at the same time with one of these combos.

The point is to create your striped and/or striped/wrapped combos and then wait until one of the licorice "gaps" you've created slides into place between your special & an ingredient -- and then launch the special and take the ingredient out.

If you don't have a wheel available then colour bombs might be the way to go, but do not discount the easier striped/wrap combos ... they can be VERY effective on this level!

Good luck!
