Candy Crush Saga Level 102 - Episode 8: Salty Canyon

Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Bombs First.

With only five moves to clear any bomb that drops, they need to be your #1 priority. Look for any available moves to clear the bomb.

Look for the striped combos.

Get striped candy combinations! Remember: even if you combine two vertical striped candies, one will go horizontally and one will go vertically. This is very useful for taking out the chocolate but also busting open the meringue s to allow you to form more moves.

Don't forget about the licorice swirls.

The Licorice swirls between the frosting may make defeating this level more difficult. Because licorice stops the effect of special candies like striped candies, you will need two hits to the frosting to open an exit instead of just one. Make as many striped candies and striped candy combinations as you can to get rid of the licorice swirls.

Candy Crush Level 102 Video

Level 102 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to bring down 2 cherries, 2 nuts in 40 moves and get 65,000 points. The level type first appears in level 11 and has now made over 150 appearances. In order to complete an ingredients level, a player must bring down the shown amount of ingredients to the bottom of the board. There two types of ingredients are cherries an hazelnuts. For every one collected, a player will receive 10,000 points.

How to Beat Ingredients Levels:

  • Wrapped candies will do fairly well for ingredients as well. These special candies will crush a large cluster of candies. Therefore, the wrapped candy should be used close to or directly below an ingredient.
  • Color bombs can also made a big impact in ingredient levels. For example, you can use one to remove a candy immediately blocking your ingredient or you can combine it with a striped candy to pretty much guarantee your ingredient's exit.
  • Striped candies are your best friends in ingredients levels. The reason behind this is that when they are activated, they will clear out an entire row(horizontal) or column(vertical) on the board. However, since vertically striped candies clear an entire column, they are far and away the best weapon in this level type. Always try to ensure that vertically striped candies and your ingredients are in the same column. When they are, the vertically striped candy will clear drop the ingredient in one swift and efficient move. For better results, align multiple candies in the same column.
  • As you progress further into the game, you will see your ingredients path to the bottom more and more obstructed by various blockers. To combat this, especially at the bottom, make sure to shift your ingredient to the a clear row or column.

Bonus Tip: Ingredient Drop Path

AI

Clear blockers in the drop path first. Vertical striped candies are your best friend - they punch through obstacles and push ingredients down fast.

I can't get off 102. The chocolate eats everything and the bombs waste chances.

I too have had issues w/level 102.I am damned if I do or damned if I don't.If I worry w/bombs the chocolate takes over.If I try to control chocolates I lose lives bc bomb time has ran out.Plz help?
Barbara bligh's avatar
Help ! Video for this level is NOT the same board... as it does not contain the chocolates... which is the killer for this level. Please fix and give us a video for the true board.
Candy Crush Cheats's avatar
Hi Barbara. We have changed the video to one with chocolates. The developers changed the level sometime in in mid December 2013, but have since changed it back. Hope this helps!
Barbara bligh's avatar
The video shown for this level is NOT the same boat as it does not contain the chocolate... Which is the killer for this level. Please fix !
Shirley Cashen's avatar
You are right Barbara, the video does NOT relate to level 102. The challenges for this are ridiculous...you not only have to watch for ticking bombs above and below but you have to watch the chocolate below and keep an eye on the moves you have left and try to maximize your vertical striped candies. Soooo frustrating. Really hating candy crush right now
Pam's avatar
It looks as though you just have to get damn lucky...happens on some other levels, too, but this one is particularly nasty...
Candy Crush Cheats's avatar
Hi Pam, are you still having trouble? We have uploaded a new video for level 102 that may help ease your woes. Take a look!
Geertje's avatar
Why are none of the ingredients to the lower level and why do the bombs keep coming?
Kmetz's avatar
The video does not match the level...no chocolates. Someone below says that they corrected it but it is back to the incorrect video for level 102!
Candy Crush Cheats's avatar
Hi Kmetz. We have changed the video to one with chocolates. The developers changed the level sometime in in mid December 2013, but have since changed it back. Hopefully this eases your Candy Crush woes.
Bev's avatar
I think you have a mix up with 102. You have a space then a row of chocolate & I have no such row on my 102. In another instance after the space you have a full row of the (icons) or whatever you call them/ So what's up with that please????
Candy Crush Cheats's avatar
Some people's level 102 differ from others. Have you updated the game recently? The developers changed the level sometime in mid December 2013, but have since changed it back.
Pam's avatar
I have no chocolate and nothing drops down ???? My lower area is meringue, licorice, meringue and nothing drops down from above ?????
Candy Crush Cheats's avatar
Pam, try creating vertically striped candies to clear the bottom. Or you an try and create a special candy combo that will stretch down the level to clear out blockers.
Ian Channell's avatar
Yay 102 was fixed / changed but still impossible to get out. I got close once and then there was a bomb I couldn't explode. Been at it for days. Not fun anymore.
Candy Crush Cheats's avatar
Ian give up Ian! It can be done!
Pam's avatar
Nothing drops down so it's impossible to play this level.....is there anyway to get to the next level !!! If not, Candy Crush is History for me
Candy Crush Cheats's avatar
By nothing drops down, do you mean your ingredients? If that's the case you're going to need to create vertically striped candies and plenty of them.
Katie Unander's avatar
try making more vertical rows of 3 or 4 or 5 and less horizontal rows, that's when they seem to drop down for me...
Ian Channell's avatar
that's it for me
Nancy's avatar
Level 102 is impossible. I don't have any chocolate..only two rows of jelly and one licorice below the bar in the middle. Game is boring. Seems like the games should all be the same for everyone. Any suggestions.
Candy Crush Cheats's avatar
Some levels have been changed by the developers. Have you updated your game recently?
Deborah's avatar
Phew! I made it! No boosters, no money. Just lots of special combinations. Speckled & striped together does the trick :-) Thanks for these tips! :-)
Candy Crush Cheats's avatar
No prob Deborah! Congrats!
Virginia's avatar
My level 102 does not have chocolate, I don't understand, need HELP! I have updated.
Tammy Anzalone's avatar
Is there a secret for getting vertical candy. All inevrr seem to be able to make are horizontal ones stuck on 102 and about to give up
Katie Unander's avatar
you have to move a candy up or down to make a combo of 4 candies in a horizontal line on the board to put vertical stripes on the special candy. If you move a candy left or right to make a make a combo of 4 candies in a vertical line of 4 it will put horizontal stripes on the candy.Think of it this way: if you move the candy left or right you get stripes left to right. If you move the candy up or down you get up and down candies. Hope that helped.:)
Katie Unander's avatar
I also do not have the same game that is shown in the cheats and tips. Also, when I hold my mouse over the level 102 on the Candy Crush Map, it shows the board with chocholate on the bottom, a row of licorice over that , and a row of candy over that, with the split in the board over that row and the next board of candy only above that. BUT the game that loads is a row of meringue on the bottom with a row of licorice over that and another row of meringue over that and then the split in the board with the separate candy only board above that. There are not enough moves in this version to clear all the meringue ! even with color bombs and wrapped and striped candy. I play on my computer...is there an update or fix for this? Also, I don't like the bombs! you waste too many moves tracking those to be able to clear the meringue. Help! PLEASE...
Sylvia's avatar
What is going on with level 102. It's impossible to beat. And I have a different grid with no chocolates. I have upgraded but no chocolates and i still can't beat this game. How can I skip it? And go on to next level. This isn't even fun. It's so exasperating. Any suggestions? I'm ready to quit and delete the game.
Claudia Judd-Mcgrath's avatar
Spend the dinero, use everything you can throw at it, after a while the bombs appear with the appropriate colored candies amazingly ONLY after you buy some bombs and stripes!
Brian's avatar
Someone needs to update this. I just got to Level 102 today, and there is no chocolate. The bottom 3 layers are meringue / licorice / meringue. I just got an update a couple days ago.
Brian's avatar
If there is chocolate, maybe it appears after the bottom layer of meringue turns to chocolate after it has been hit twice?
Brian's avatar
This section needs to be updated. There is no chocolate on Level 102.
Brian's avatar
THE UPPER CASE LETTERS ARE VERY INTENTIONAL. I AM YELLING. THERE IS NO CHOCOLATE ANY MORE ON THIS LEVEL!!! THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE ON THIS LEVEL HAVE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFEAT. NEEDING STRIPED / BAGGED CANDY TO MOVE THE FRUIT DOWN IS BONEHEAD RIDICULOUS WHEN THEY DON'T GIVE YOU THE CANDIES REQUIRED TO EVEN MAKE STRIPED / BAGGED CANDY. ON MY BEST GAMES, I HAVE CLEARED 1 OF 4 FRUITS / NUTS. IF THEY WANT PEOPLE TO KEEP PLAYING THIS GAME, MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO WIN.
Dawn Marie's avatar
I saw this, and it sounds just like what I say ALL the time about this damn game lol they do NOT make it possible to win! i just LOVE how you're supposed to get all this striped candy and stuff, in order to win, yet there is just not even a possibility of making enough combos to WIN with the striped candies! Nor enough moves to break the meringue that I have down at the bottom!!
Christopher Giordano's avatar
My game was updated on 3/13/14 and it doesn't have any chocolates. Just the meringue/licorice/meringue mentioned below. And yes, I've been at this level for over a week and can't beat it.
jeannie's avatar
Is it necessary to update and include the chocolates? I cannot locate the update on my Kindle. Thanks.
jeannie's avatar
This whole level is one big mess. I think the developers need to rethink this level. It's not worth the challenge.
Ann Rogers's avatar
I don't have chocolate on level 102 so what do I do?
mitch's avatar
I play on face book and the computer and I don't have chocolate but meringue and then licorice then meringue , it is impossible to clear so unless the makers can help I will have to give up and it was so enjoyable , can anyone help
Joseph Picarello's avatar
WOW I DID IT, LUCK stay with it people thats all i can say. no magic LUCK LUCK LUCK.
Maureen Grant's avatar
I can't get out of 102 as well. I only have the licorice and meringue, no chocolates. I'm also ready to quit....very frustrating.
Kay Ross's avatar
I just beat it after 2 weeks. What worked for me was to save the chocolate ball and matched it with a vertical stripe. My vertical stripe was orange and I had a total of about 12 orange candies. The ball turned all the orange candy to vertaical stripes.
linda g's avatar
Cannot get pass level 102. CC this is the worst, no matter what I try will not let me move the fruit down. Time to move on to something new..
diane's avatar
2 weeks on this level is enough. No more fun. Deleting app. Waste of money
Bruce A Beals's avatar
When 102 opens for me, I don't even have chocolates. I have one row of meringues, then a row of springs and then another row of meringues. The only way I can get the ingredients down is with a striper that will wipe out the row and it has to be an up and down striped, not sideways, which means I have to get it from under, which is nearly impossible. Driving me friggin' nuts!!!!!!
Debi McQuen Sommer's avatar
I have a new S4 galaxy. I don't have any chocolates on level 102 I am extremely new at this game. Until now I enjoyed it I now hate candy crush can someone help me through this level?
Tersia Conradie's avatar
One answer....a colour bomb and a striped candy combo...This is the only change in hell you have to complete this level.....
Srequilman's avatar
Seriously when will you add tips for the non-chocolate version of level 102? I've updated and this is what I have. It is impossible to complete. Can't form vertical stripes fast enough and if a bomb falls into the lower level you might as well give up. Candy Crush and I are about to part ways if I don't get some help soon!
frosk's avatar
Just completed level 102 after about 50 attempts. I was also thinking this level is so fiendish. That is the game though ; some levels need to be hard to keep it interesting. So here is the strategy. Always go for vertical stripe candy, wrapped candy and the 5 in row ones. Try making combinations of these. Best of all if the opportunity is there is to combine two wrapped candies adjacent at the bottom line of the top box. As always you need to be patient for some good luck. Happy crushing. Well done game developers!
Curtis Kopeschny's avatar
Playing this level on Facebook right now, May 8th, 2014 and there is no chocolate. Did there used to be chocolate? Not anymore.
Gerry's avatar
I have NO chocolate and there aren't any updates. DONE with the game!

I haven't read anything positive about level 102, and that has my experience too. I am trying hard not to accepting a defeatist's attitude, but it gets more frustrating and impossible with each game. I have been stuck at level 102 for three weeks and about ready to delete the game because not only is it not fun, but also a waste of time. Bill
Sarah Prestemon's avatar
Your tips up until now have been invaluable, thank you. Please note, there are no chocolates in level 102. If there were they aren't anymore. Please update your tips. Thank you for all your help until now.

Stuck on 102. No chocolates, no way of passing level. Suggestions?

I'm going bat shit CRAZY over this level 102. I have been stuck for 3 weeks now and have had every combo possible...nothing works on this level to win!! I do not have any chocolates and there is no updates available...SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE or me and candy crush are history!!!!
Dennie's avatar
What's the deal. No chocolates even in level 102. Too frustrated to play anymore.
Barbara Andaloro's avatar
has anyone beat this level yet?
Barbara Andaloro's avatar
I got down to 1 ingredient left ..
Kenny Kenny's avatar
I just beat this level after 20 or so tries. first, there is no chocolate. On the bottom 3 rows i have meringues, a row of licorice and another row of meringues. The ONLY way I was able to beat the level is by combining a color bomb and a stripped candy. It is hard to do, but eventually it should work. it does not really matter what color the stripped candy is because combining with a color bomb causes mass destruction on the board. When I did this it dropped 3 of the 4 items, then i just had to take care of one last hazelnut. This level is frustrating but don't give up!
