The Bubblegum Troll is proud of the tricky traps you’ll face on your adventures in the Candy Crush Soda Saga world, but "Knowledge is power," - so here’s a quick tip guide on how to best tackle some of them. Use them well, and you'll always rise to the ‘fizz-ical’ challenge!
Chocolate
Melting Chocolate multiplies if not reduced within any one turn, so keep the cocoa-colored craving under control.
Tip: Match adjacent candies or blast with boosters.
White Chocolate
Like Chocolate, the White Chocolate will spread if you don’t reduce it too, but it will do more than increase its reach by 1 square. It also adds an extra layer to another existing piece of chocolate if it’s not reduced in any single turn. Keep this white wanderer in check!
Licorice
Licorice can appear like here, in a ‘wire/cage’ form, ensnaring another candy, but will release it if you clear it by matching adjacent candies or blasting with a booster.
Hint: It can also be a single solid swirled piece that needs to be cleared by adjacent matching or tackling with a booster.
Jelly Cake
This radiant rainbow cake will be an obstacle on the board, taking up a 2 x 2 space. That's a big portion! The great news is it will erupt and explode if you clear the colored stripes from the jelly ring by matching next to it or using boosters/blasts on it.
When it explodes, it will clear a lot of candies for you in one huge blast. Stand back!
Jam
The juicy Jam will need to be spread around, usually over all the spaces of the board.
Tip: You can do this by making a match in the jam, which will spread the jam to all squares included in the match.
Pro-tip: Make a Striped Candy booster blast over the jam to spread it even further!
Honeycomb
Hexagonal hold-ups occur when the Honeycomb Blocker is present. You'll need to melt this golden goo down layer by layer.
Hint: Sometimes, this sticky shield has other items trapped inside!
Frosting: Candy Ice Cube
Ice, anyone? Similar to Honey, this frozen frustration has up to six layers.
This is a multi-layered blocker that will need to be carved down, one icy layer at a time. Sometimes this snowy sweetness has other items trapped inside.
Tip: Match next to it or use a Booster to take it from candy-coated topping right down to the last level of arctic icing.
Cupcakes
Cherry-topped or empty cups, you’ll need to clear the cake, removing the case too.
Tip: They can be cleared by adjacent matching and boosters/blasts.
Bubblegum
This pink paralyzer locks candies in its sticky web but will also multiply if you don't reduce it in any one turn. Keep this creeper from crawling over your candies!
Licorice Laces
Stop the knot and un-loop the licorice laces one layer at a time until it’s untied and cleared from the board.
Tip: Clear it with adjacent matching and boosters/blasts.
Peppermint Stick
This mendacious mint can take up 9 tiles on the board. If the red stripes light up, beware - it’s going to explode!
Cracker
Chocolate spreads within the area of the cracker. Once all the chocolate is cleared within the cracker area, the cracker clears all the candies in its area, and it also detonates Special Candies! It's only available on Chocolate levels.
Pancake
This is a multi-layered movable Blocker and is destroyed when you match candies next to it. Word of caution: there are 5 sticky layers to this cake!
