I passed this one on my first try. Maybe I got lucky (?) or maybe the level has been nerfed (?) -- not sure.

Getting the keys was simply a matter of creating & using specials. I made a striped + wrapped combo that was especially helpful, that one helped grab two of the five needed keys in a single move. Put your early focus on making specials -- especially horizontal striped candies. Try to form these toward the top of the board, this way you can (hopefully) inch them down until they are on the same level as one or more keys.

Where I got really stuck was once the ingredients were unlocked. They were "stuck" in these little side alcoves and I could not figure out how to pull them out sideways onto the main board so that I could try to drop them. This is why I am writing here, because the solution is not immediately obvious within the game itself.

What I did was to watch one of the videos linked here. On the video, you can see little blue exit portals under each ingredients, and then red entrance portals over the 2nd bottom-row piece directly below (watch and you will see what I mean). These portals do NOT appear in the web-based game anymore, so it isn't made obvious that the ingredients will fall through space directly to the bottom of the board. But they will. Simply make a match directly under the alcoved ingredient and it will zap down to the row just above the bottom row. This means there is only one piece between your ingredient and the board's exit spot, and it's usually fairly easy to say bye-bye to the ingredient at that point.

You may have to watch the video to see what I mean here, but I do think it will help. At least it helped me. Good luck!
