sorry if this is old news, but it’s the first time my chocolate box options have included “in new level wins”
I really don’t like this development (considering that some of the week some of us don’t have new levels to win…)

I didn't use timed boosters for that, no. I have over 3000 of each of those boosters saved up from watching ads, so I was fine using them. They worked for me on old levels; it's possible that's the difference.
Good question! I wish to know that too.
Hi @Nobody1 do you use the old levels with timed booster?
Hi @T0rr1e are you saying that the timed color bombs is counted when you pass a new level only and can't fail it?
why have you changed the rules of the chocolate box requirements, when it’s the only everyday thing you can do to earn rewards?
Does anyone know the difference between “activate boosters” and “use” boosters? As in the top two options above? Why use different language there?

This one I had timed freckles and it worked in new levels. I tried it in old levels with the timed booster but it did not work, so only new levels. These unnecessary changes are so annoying. It also only counts when you pass the level. 😐️
Oh, Oops, I missed that yours had the bonus gold bars. So that explains the difference.
They're certainly keeping us on our toes.
And boosters from inventory do count indeed. The logic here is probably that you have to either play new levels or spend something from your stock. If timed boosters were counted on old levels, it would be too good.
My chocolate box offers 20 gold plus 5 extra gold for the last task, so I think I may indeed be in a different test group. Also, I have only tested timed boosters on old levels so far; I will check how boosters from inventory work once my timed booster runs out.
That's weird, MannyFae. Just yesterday I was completing this exact option, and for me I very carefully checked - I WAS able to use old levels. I was also able to use Star Tournament levels. I did the first few with old levels, then did the rest with Star Tournament levels to complete the box.
I wonder if it's different because of test groups, or if they changed it since yesterday?
This option seems poorly designed and impracticable. Timed boosters are an integral part of the game and of my own gameplay in particular. I actually buy time boosters with gold bars from my inventory! The daily treat machine and many events give us timed boosters as well. If these don't count then this chocolate box requirement cannot be fulfilled by players using the best available strategies and who are in fact playing the game as intended. Many of the in game offers to purchase with real money include timed boosters!
@QueenB is there a chance any of this feedback can be sent back to the developers? Timed pre level boosters are an integrated part of the game we play and of how King have designed the game, so they should count towards all the chocolate box orders.
'Use striped+wrapped pre-game booster' option:
I finished this 'chose striped+wrapped candies' task at last and its behavior on new levels is weird. It seems that it is the Candy Necklace items that are counted in this case, not the timed boosters themselves.

If I remember correctly if you fail to finish it in time you would be downgraded back to Classic. If the Gold Box only gives 20 Bars, the last task will certainty give you additional 5 bars for a total of 25 and 3 mins of Color Bomb based on others screenshots. I don't have this yet but I do have some of the interface changes, particularly upon finishing one.
Dear Candy Crush Team,
I have been playing Candy Crush Saga for a long time and one of my favorite features has always been the Chocolate Box. It used to be a fun and rewarding challenge — but lately, it feels like it has been completely ruined.
First, the rewards have been reduced from 30 gold bars, to 25, and now down to just 20. That’s a huge drop, and it feels unfair.
To make matters worse, the system now demotes you to Silver if you fail to complete it in time — which feels like a punishment instead of encouragement. And the tasks themselves have become much harder. For example, right now my only options are to collect 9 Party Hands or Hammers — items that are basically impossible to get without ads or spending real money.
How are players supposed to enjoy this feature when the rewards are lower, the tasks are harder, and failing means you get downgraded?
Candy Crush has always been a beautiful, relaxing game, but these recent changes make it feel more like a cash grab. Why “fix” something that wasn’t broken? Why make it so punishing for players who just want to enjoy the game?
Please reconsider these changes and bring back the fair rewards (30 gold bars) and reasonable tasks that made the Chocolate Box fun and motivating.
Sincerely, A frustrated but loyal player
once you reach the end of the road, you can’t get ‘pass any unplayed levels’ for your chocolate box. So you have to wait till the road is reinstated
Charleyfarley I totally agree about the lollipops/switches. Way better than anything requiring new levels. For end of map, basically it seems like you have a chance to get 2 or 3 boxes done if you're lucky before being forced to do a bunch of new levels.
The new version of the chocolate box really is a mixed bag. I’ve had one box (gold) where at least one chocolate had all tasks as coloured candies in new levels won - I got stuck with 2960 purple candies in new wins, a totally unreasonable ask. Took me a whole episode to complete at a heavy price.
Since then, I’ve had chocs that have a mixture of old and new level candies, accompanied by new tasks ; using a selection of boosters (30) before game starts and 30 free lives awarded (not sure what this is). I’m still waiting for the relatively easy task of double-boosters option which others have had.
Whereas previously I would’ve bypassed the 5/7 lollipops/switches task, I now grab them with both hands rather than get stuck with the unplayed new levels, new levels won on 1st try, or the candies won on new levels nightmare.
It would make sense to allow levels won in the Star tournament to be included in these but hey, when did sense play a part in King’s decisions ?

I’ve spent some $$ trying to advance but have sworn off wasting anymore money. I’ve been stuck on one level for over a week. It seems the only rewards given are when you don’t open the game for awhile
