Level 277 is the second level in Candy Clouds and the 104th jelly level. To pass this level, you must collect 19 wrapped candies in 40 moves or fewer.
When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.
You are given only 7 of 19 wrapped candies, less than 50% of what is needed.
If you have destroyed the wrapped candy at the top, candy bombs are dispensed.

Strategy
Focus on making wrapped candies, and ignore the distractions. However, the liquorice locks need to be removed to increase available board space.
When the opportunity arises, use a few horizontal striped candies to the isolated column.
If you combine two wrapped candies in that isolated column, it will detonate all the others, and that will give you the last seven that you need.
The bomb dispenser will drop a maximum of six candy bombs at any one time and each candy bomb detonates after 15 moves, so if you are down to about that many moves anyway, you can pretty much ignore them. On the other hand, you may keep the upmost wrapped candy to stuck the dispenser and prevent bombs from coming out, although you will have to make another wrapped candy for the order.
Earning More Stars
Difficulty
The presence of five colours will cause fewer moves to be spent to create special candies.
The order is worth 19,000 points. Hence, an additional 111,000 points for two stars and an additional 141,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
Despite the five-layer icing and liquorice locks restricting the available board space, they are not difficult to clear.
The chocolate spawner is not much of an obstacle to meeting the three star target score.
40 moves should be sufficient to create a colour bomb. Hence, a colour bomb + candy bomb combination is not too difficult to create.
The need to clear the wrapped candies on the left to meet the order drops candy bombs. The candy bombs are not to difficult to clear.
Exception
Despite the rating of earning three stars as very easy, there is a way of earning less than three stars. It is not to activate the wrapped candy directly below the bomb dispenser until the last wrapped candy. However, this will increase the difficulty of meeting the order.
Trivia
This is the first candy order level that contains five-layered icing.
