I want to make some homeade chocolate but the recipe says use powdered sugar as possible, can i use normal sugar too?

• there is this recipe for homeade chocolate using cocoa powder and it say for sugar to use powdered sugar if possible. i dont have powdered sugar so could i just use normal sugar or could i make like simple syrup where i melt sugar and water in a pot to make simple syrup and just use that? is that okay or does it have to be powdered sugar

• Answer:

  Science: http://sweets.seriouseats.com/2013/12/the-food-lab-the-best-chocolate-chip-cookies.html Sugar is graded by size of the granules. "Powder" is near the middle of the range, "confectioner" is finer, and then "caster". Smaller granules dissolve more easily, esp. at lower temps, and give a smoother texture. For example you would use powdered sugar for ice cream where you do not cook it, but granulated sugar if you cook it. Fudge is a crystal structure so you use granulated sugar to start. Put your granulated sugar in a blender, say a half cup at a time, and beat it into submission.
