Level 287 is the twelfth level in Candy Clouds and the 18th mixed mode level (18th jelly-order). To pass this level, you must collect 1 hazelnut in 45 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.

Difficulty

The icing are quite annoying as this is one of the few levels that have all types of multilayered icing and the main blocker in this level.
The chocolate spawners are not a huge menace since it is just one ingredient.
The icing actually are not too difficult to destroy, as there are only 4 candy colours.
An extreme majority of the board is filled with blockers.

Strategy

Destroy the icing as quick as possible. The ingredient may slide into another lane multiple times, so keep an eye on where you are heading and the chocolate spawners.

Earning More Stars

Difficulty

The presence of four colours makes it easy to create special candies. However, it is not that useful till some of the blockers have been cleared.
The ingredient is worth 10,000 points. Hence, an additional 70,000 points for two stars and an additional 120,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
The player is required to earn an additional 1,560 points per move^[1] for two stars and an additional 2,680 points per move^[2] for three stars. However, the icing at the start of the level means that players will only earn points in the low hundreds for at least the first five moves.
The icing will cause a significant number of moves to clear them.
Once the board is opened, it is much easier to create special candies and cause huge cascades. In fact, it is possible to earn a million points during sugar crush.
The chocolate spawners are not much of threat to earning three stars.

Strategy

Clear as many icing using the least number of moves so that special candies can be easily created. Clearing the one and two layer icing should give players enough space to create wrapped candies and colour bombs.
