161 is definitely a tough level. Having beaten it a few times, I recommend searching for matches on the sides and at the bottoms first. This will work better than looking from the top downwards. Remove the licorice locked candy to get more candies down. Also, there are 3 chocolate fountains with double jelly. Make matches by the fountains and keep track of which chocolate pieces have jelly.
Use a wrapped candy to take out the hardest pieces of jelly on the far left and near the chocolate fountains.
