Level 709

Difficulty

 * There are only four ingredient exits, on columns 1, 4, 6 and 9, so the ingredients can easily get fall into the stuck zones.
 * The candy bombs are short fused, the two in the start are on the side columns and are protected by chocolates. More bombs spawn. These can go off easily if ignored.
 * These starting candy bombs are also quite hard to destroy due to their positions.
 * Chocolate spawners may block the ingredient exits, or flood the board with chocolates.
 * You may need to switch ingredients one or two times.
 * With only 5 colours present, it is easy to create special candies.
 * The ingredients are worth 40,000 points, which is equal to the one star target score.

Strategy

 * Clear the existing bombs as early as possible.
 * If the initial ingredient is at a column with no exit or you realize that you cannot remove the existing bombs in nine or fewer moves, you can reset the board. This will cost you a life on the web version, but not on mobile as long as you have not made your first move. Patience is needed as good boards are not frequently spawned.
 * If there are any ingredients in the stuck zones, try to swap them out.

Miscellaneous Info

 * 1) 4 ingredients x 10,000 points per ingredient = 40,000 points
