Passing the level was difficult, but not insanely so. Strategy-wise, if you are fortunate enough to have two matching candies above the ingredient, then you need only one of that color on either side of the bottom of the conveyor to swap out. This occurs occasionally. When mobile comes out, I'd suggest reloading until this layout occurs. Otherwise, you must do the following: look to the other conveyor at the candy color (or candies if ingredient on middle conveyor) that is even with your ingredient. Then try to get two candies of that same color on either side of the ingredient conveyor (quite difficult, much luck involved)... If you do so before the ingredient ready for the switch, you then have to "waste" moves on other side of board hoping not to trigger anything that will move your aligned colors. Once switched it's relatively easy to bring the ingredients down.

That said, I am chasing stars on this level, and I think this may be the most difficult level (along with dreamworld 22) to get 3 (or even 2) stars. I managed one level clear in which I made at least 2 color bombs and finished with 16 moves remaining and still only scored 1 star in the 90K range. I think the only reasonable path would be to switch one ingredient early, then work the board for big point combos, then perhaps use the hand booster at around 7-10 moves to make the second switch. But a no-booster 3 star seems quite unlikely.
