Ingredients can only be brought down on the odd numbered columns. Also, they might get stuck in the stuck zone, making it difficult for them to be moved to be collected.
Having liquorice swirls above the liquorice locks makes it hard to clear the blockers. Since liquorice swirls block the effects of special candies, they must be cleared before the locked candies can be freed. This means that after the swirls are removed, it can still take two vertical striped candies to bring down an ingredient.

Strategy
Focus on bringing ingredients down to the bottom.
It is useful to combine a striped candy with a wrapped candy. Vertical striped candies are suggested to be made. Work from the bottom as it may free liquorice locks and clear swirls.
Keep in mind that ingredients cannot drop down from even numbered columns, only from odd ones. When an ingredient starts in an even column look for an opportunity to bring it back on track. This is easier said than done, however, because of the liquorice swirls.
The difficulty varies depending on which column ingredients spawned. Hopefully, with a good board and some special candies, the ingredients will successfully drop down and fulfill the requirement.
Trivia
Bringing the ingredients down gives the player enough points to meet the target score.
