Way, way too much sugar. I was concerned when I saw it because I always make these with 1/2 cup per two egg whites. But I thought it must make a difference being powdered sugar. It was like eating sugar cubes right from the box. If you make it wanting to see how it works with powdered sugar, I'd just use the traditional 1/2 cup to every 2 whites. Me...I'm sticking with the traditional recipe.

I'm 65 years old and have been cooking since I was 10. My first meal was Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. My mother talked me through everything. She hated to cook. I'm completely the opposite, I love to cook and try different things. been married for 42 years and have 3 kids. Two girls and a boy, four grandchildren that I spoil rotten. Had a stroke 1 year ago but it's not stopping me. My second love is camping.
