The icing can block the player's progress, but it is very easy to get rid of them.
This level is the same as its counterpart in Reality, but easier because during moon struck, there are only four colours.
The moon scale is stable.

Strategy
Break the icing and create special candies to bring down the ingredients.
Keep the moon scale balanced and you will be fine, as you have plenty of moves to finish this level.
Earning More Stars
Difficulty
The presence of five colours makes it easy to create special candies.
The ingredients are worth 40,000 points. Hence, an additional 30,000 points for two stars and an additional 50,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
With the same number of moves and with the same two and three star target scores as its Reality counterpart, they are not much difficult to reach.
The player is required to earn an additional 860 points per move [1] for two stars and an additional 1,440 points per move [2] for three stars.
The blockers are positioned as such that they are relatively hard to clear.
35 moves are limited to earn a huge amount of points due to sugar crush and the limiting of the number of special candies created via regular matches. However, this point is less critical due to the low two and three star target scores and the moon strucks.
Moon struck removes candies matching the colour on the left side of the moon scale, lasts for 2 moves and occurs twice.[3] This makes it much easier to create special candies.
Even after the first moon struck ends, it is not much harder to create special candies.
Strategy
A vertical striped candy on the same column as the ingredient will drop it in one move. Alternatively, wrapped candy + striped candy combination will clear three rows and columns which can speed up the process of dropping the ingredients. If the latter method is used, please be careful of the moon scale.
Trivia
This is one of the few levels which has the final Moonstruck lasting longer than the number of moves left (the last Moonstruck lasts two moves but starts when the player has one move left).
