There seems to be a long-time bug where when there's a candy side-stepping (going diagonally over the locked chocolate bomb) and the dispenser tries to dish out an ingredient at the same time, the ingredient gets "lost". The game thinks it is on the screen and is waiting for it to drop off the bottom before allowing the next one to be dispensed.
I had this problem for days, the last TWO cherries wouldn't drop. Even once when I kept getting colour bombs and cleared the first cherry in 15 moves. Just passed it, I used a coconut wheel in desperation. And I only cleared the bottom popcorn so I don't think sequence of clearing popcorn matters. I'm thinking maybe try using some sort of power-up to 'unstick' the glitch? And then in following games don't use power-ups (if you're saving them) and see what happens?
