Level 1179

Difficulty

 * With four colours, it is possible to make special candies, but only to a limited extent given the restricted board.
 * Liquorice swirls block the effect of striped candies. Moreover, more of them will spawn from the candy cannons.
 * The ingredients are worth 40,000 points, which is equal to the one star target score.

Strategy

 * You can win this level instantly if you combine colour bomb + colour bomb, so in theory, you can win in two moves.
 * As it is quite difficult to create colour bombs, much less two adjacent to one another, vertical striped candies are the main way to approach this level. The striped + wrapped candy combination is very helpful if the opportunity arises.
 * Try to build up an arsenal of different striped candies, in order to launch an attack all at once and leave a big open gap in the swirls, through which to hit the fruit.
 * Try to make vertical moves, so that any striped candies created in cascade will be vertically striped.
 * When possible, detonate/match a vertical striped candy in a configuration that will leave another striped candy behind.
 * Remember that candies striped in the same direction must be spaced at least two squares apart to retain distinct effects. Otherwise, detonation will bear the effect of only one striped candy. Nonetheless, adjacent striped candies are always useful as they can detonate each other when a colour match is not available.

Booster Option
Starting the level with the coconut wheel booster, and combining it with a vertical striped candy may improve chances of success.
