After tornadoes appear.
Level 417 is the seventh level in Soda Swamp and the one hundred first ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 3 hazelnuts and score at least 30,000 points in 40 moves or fewer. If you have extra moves in this level, Sugar Crush will activate striped candy and score you additional points.
The entire level used to depend on massive amount of luck than any other level in the game. Now, there are three coconut wheels that can be strategically used to break the icings. Despite this, the level is still very luck-based, and the difficulty remains "Very Hard".
There are three tornadoes which will drift around and remove some of them for you, but the locations are completely random. They can all stay on the left or they can stay on the right and clear a lot. They can also drill holes in the empty spaces in the wall where there is no icing, making them useless sometimes.
Not only that, there are candy bombcandy cannons which spit out bombs on the left frequently. These only have 6 moves on them, so once again, you are left crossing your fingers that the twisters will land on them, or there will be an opportunity to get rid of them with a normal switch.

Strategy
Since the tornadoes can randomly go to any space and icings are in a huge amount, this level is mostly dependent on luck.
To have an easier time, try to take the coconut wheels out of the marmalade. Then, use one of them to roll upwards, creating a line of striped candies to hit the coconut wheel at the right. Afterwards, roll it to the left side to reduce the icing into 2 layers.
Take care of the bombs. They only allow 6 moves to destroy and constantly drop down in every other move, so get rid of them as soon as possible.
Ideally, the tornadoes should spend most of the time at the right half, destroying the icings. They are helpful in that regard, so try not to blast them away through special candies.
Patiently wait for the tornadoes to do their jobs. Eventually, the right half of the board should be playable during the last 15 moves, or else the passing chance will be very slim.
It is possible to combine a coconut wheel with a special candy, like a striped candy or a colour bomb, to blast the icing with even more impact.
Concentrate effort on destroying icings rather than bringing ingredients down, as they will fall down inevitably from holes in the board and the matches you make.
Trivia
It is impossible to lose this level due to not reaching the required score, because the ingredients give the player 30,000 points.
