How to break candy cane blockers

Level 3450 has these squares enclosed with candy canes. I don't know how to break thru them. Can anyone give me a clue? Please and thank you!

    Hello @Gretchen_Armato Candy Cane blockers are never broken. To reach candies or blockers past these you will need to use striped candies, wrapped candies or even better a combo of these two. Fishes will also help here. The new "intelligent" fishes will go for the lucky candy in this level and I think we are supposed to create these fishes to pass this. I play with hints turned on, and the game is giving me instructions to create fishes by matching a square of four. To pass this level look out for opportunities to create wrapped or striped candies and also to create fishes by matching a square of 4 same colour candies. The fishes will turn the lucky candies yellow and a wrap/stripe combo would help to clear them. I don' think it is necessary to break all the frosting on this level to pass. Using starting boosters should help as well.

    I just passed using the above method easily on my 4th attempt. Playing all three pre level boosters is very useful for this level.

    Good luck!

    Level 3

    Candy cane fences can't be broken but special candies like striped, wrapped, or fish could clear stuff beyond them. Candy cane curls, though, can be smashed by matching next to them or blasting them with specials.

    Hey there,

    Candy cane have 4 types:

    Candy cane fence:

    Appears between tiles, much like ingredient exits and teleporters. If a blocker is on one side of the candy cane then matches on the other side will not affect. Blocks candies from falling, as well as chocolate from spreading. It is impossible to swap candies from one side of the candy cane to the other. Special candies cannot be made if the candy cane is involved, but the effects of said candies stay the same. This cane cannot be destroyed and doesn’t block special candy effects.

    Candy cane curl:

    Properties are similar to the candy cane fences, except this cane can be destroyed. Maximum of 3 layers.

    Liquorice curl:

    Properties are similar to the candy cane curls, except this cane can block both striped and wrapped candy effects, much like liquorice swirls (but unlike swirls, which only block striped candy effects).

    Liquorice fence:

    Properties are similar to the candy cane fences, except this cane can block both striped and wrapped candy effects, much like liquorice swirls (but unlike swirls, which only block striped candy effects).

    It’s Sodalicious!
