In most things, No. Powdered sugar has cornstarch in it and has much less sweetening for the same amount.

Clarification:

Powdered (confectioners) sugar has only a minimal amount of cornstarch, which really doesn't affect the sweetness. The cornstarch is added to prevent the powdered sugar from lumping.

But, as the answer above states, it usually cannot be used as a substitute for granulated sugar since it can result in the recipe not turning out as well.

Can you make confectioners sugar using a blender I am trying to make peanut butter balls and it calls for confectioners sugar and all I have is granulated sugar and corn starch Can someone help me?

Yes, you can make confectioners' sugar using a blender by blending granulated sugar until it reaches a fine, powdery consistency. For added smoothness and to prevent clumping, you can mix in a small amount of cornstarch (about 1 tablespoon per cup of granulated sugar). Just blend until it's finely powdered, and then use it in your peanut butter balls recipe!
