Level 445

Level 445 is the fifth level in Butterscotch Boulders and the one hundred eighth ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 1 hazelnut and 1 cherry and score at least 20,000 points in 30 moves or fewer. If you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate striped candies and score you additional points.

This level has a wide variety of aspects for players to screw over in this level; even the ingredients part can be tricky because of no exits at the side columns.

Difficulty
This level looks easy, but like other very hard levels in the past, looks are deceiving. It is actually incredibly difficult for many reasons:
 * There are two candy bombs that only have 17 moves. They are behind many layers of icing and Liquorice Locks and will explode in no time.
 * There are only 30 moves to bring down both ingredients. With a large amount icing requiring a good number of moves to clear them, there may not be enough enough moves left to bring down both ingredients.
 * But the worst part - there are NO exits over the two end rows where the ingredients fall, which means they must be switched onto another lane, which is nigh-on impossible with only 30 moves and the bombs to worry about.
 * Overall, this level is incredibly hard despite the easy look about it, typical of difficult ingredient levels.

Strategy

 * Try and have the ingredients slide into the lanes next to the ones they come out of. You don't want to have to wait moves later in the game trying to move them over yourself.(See the image under the InfoBox for which Liquorice Locks to break so that they will for sure slide properly.)
 * Use combinations to quickly clear the icing to make room for more combinations. EVERY MOVE COUNTS!
 * If you can break a lock one space diagonal to a corner, while ensuring you break neither of the other two (above and to the left (top-left corner) or right (top-right corner)) shielding the corner, it is possible for ingredients to slip through that gap and move into the inner column. This is difficult to do, but make sure you are doing it whenever you are given the opportunity.
 * Be aware that when there are 25 and 15 moves remaining, the ingredients will start spawning, so make sure you spawn them to slide on the proper lane.V1g2Jbg.png
