If the ingredient is on the far left or far right side of the board, it may be difficult to bring it down.
There are a lot of blockers in this level, especially the icing above the exit zone.
Four colours may help to create cascades and easily clear the blockers.
The ingredients are worth 60,000 points,[1] which is equal to the one star target score.

Strategy
Focus on destroying the blockers, especially the liquorice locks (as you destroy the locks, you should also destroy the icing).
Make lots of vertical striped candies. It is even better if you can combine striped candies with colour bombs.
Do not make matches at the far left and far right of the board unless you are forced to.
Another strategy is to drop the ingredient when the move you make does not affect the other candy cannon. In this way, you can pass the level easily, but in return you get a lower score.
Colour bomb + striped candy combinations are not as effective as you might think. Use other combinations; striped candy + wrapped candy combinations are more effective.
Earning More Stars
The ingredients are worth 60,000. Hence another 120,000 points are needed for 2 stars and another 180,000 are needed for three stars.
