Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Break down at least one side of the meringue.

You're going to need to create some specials in this level, however the meringue walls are stoping you from a larger board. Begin by clearing at least one side of the board. You will need those specials to drop you ingredients. Activating a wrapped candy in between the two columns of meringues will destroy an even an larger amount of blockers.

Manage the chocolates.

Those chocolate fountains could give you some problems. Make sure you keep the regenerating chocolates in order and don't let them spread everywhere. The last thing you want is to have an ingredient blocked by a piece of chocolate. Striped + wrapped candy combos are a great way to drop ingredients AND clear out chocolate.

Use vertically striped candies.

Vertically striped candies are one of the easiest and most accessible ways to drop an ingredient. Form one and align it in the same column as an ingredient. Activate it when multiple ingredients are in the same column for even better results.

Candy Crush Level 517 Video

Level 517 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to collect 5 hazelnut and score 45,000 points in 40 moves. 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.
