Finally finished this hateful board. I really wasn't keeping count of how many tries but I'd say 10-ish. Passed with 1 star(114,440 points), 2 moves left & one hand switch used at the end. As I've mentioned I have a very hard time visualizing things that I read descriptions of. So it took me a little time to realize what was meant about getting the 2 chocolates early that spread first. Finally got it & shuffled till I got a board where I could at least start by breaking one of those chocolates and the other soon followed. Then I went about making as many matches as I could up top & anywhere else that wouldn't break open the bottom chocolate right away, but as soon as I did break it open, I went about getting rid of it ASAP too. Every other game the chocolate had taken over my board. But this time I managed to get it all. With the board a bit more open I was able to make some more specials, including a color bomb. I saw I only had a few more jellies left. (I'd had one other game previously w/ 3 jellies left but it was news to me as the chocolate had covered them all). I figured I could break out a few hammers or use the hand switch to line up the color bomb with a stripe. Went for the latter & very glad I did as it took care of the remaining jellies. So instead of using 3 boosters, I used 1. Regardless, the term that comes to mind is extremely hard board. I know that was being thrown around as an idea for a new difficulty rating & hasn't been put into play but if it had, I'd use it for this one. I've found other boards just as difficult that were only rated Hard or Very Hard. But if the consensus is for IH, I'm fine with that. This one is was definitely a real pain, though I wonder if I were play again understanding the chocolate dynamics if maybe I'd find it passable again, if I have a chance I will do so. But for now I'll stick with IH.
