No, powdered sugar is not suitable for making hard candy. Hard candy requires granulated sugar because it needs to dissolve and then crystallize properly during cooking. Powdered sugar contains cornstarch, which can interfere with the candy-making process and prevent it from achieving the desired hard texture. For best results, stick to granulated sugar when making hard candy.
