This is very discouraging because my board is never set up like that. I think if it had I would not be on this site. :(

This helped me. Good tips.

try not to hit under the cages as thats when the chocolate fills up the right side this is a hard level i'm still trying

This level is all about the combo candies - you need as many 4 and 5 matches as possible...

Very frustrating as most of it is down to luck, half the time its impossible to get the candies in the right place even if you can get the specials in the first place. I was stuck for ages on level 65, I hope it's not going to be the same with level 70 :(

Hi finally here a how to Do it for level 70!!

Hope you pass it with the explanation!

or

I have played this level over 50 times and only have been given a handful of opportunities for striped candies, and most of those were vertical not horizontal so they were useless anyway. I'm about to quit this game...Seems like a trap to get you to spend money on boosters. :(

But what if I only get 4-5 row matche per game???? It's impossible to get 3 rows combos in exactly the right row.
And that's just to remove the chocolate and the locked candy.
I don't ever get any combination on the right side so I have to get another 7 four-combos on matching rows to remove the ice...
I've played this more than 60 times and only once (1) I was close to succeed. I give up this shitty game...

I just followed Laura's instructions and completed level 70 first time with no boosters. Yah! Just make as many combos as poss before tackling the jelly and try and clear the chocolate.

You want to make alot of combo candies on that level. Clear the chocolate is your priority!
