I found this recipe on the site for chocolate candy, but I don't know what to do for the powdered sugar part of the recipe since it asks for 2 1/2 packages of powdered sugar. By default, I'd go with 2 1/2 packages of 1 lb (453 gram sugar), but I wanted a second or third opinion before I made a move, since a 1 lb package is just the size I've grown up using, and it may not be the size intended by the person who wrote the recipe.

Below is the recipe in question. The recipe states blend (mix) the milk, butter, vanilla and powdered sugar together. Those 4 items make the candy. Hope this helps.
HOMEMADE CANDY
1 c. sweetened condensed milk
1/4 lb. butter
3 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 pkg. powdered sugar
Blend all of the above ingredients, shape into balls. Chill in the refrigerator on wax paper on a cookie sheet. Make the chocolate covers while the centers are cooling.
CHOCOLATE COVERS:
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
8 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1/2 block paraffin wax
Melt all of the above ingredients in a double boiler. Blend thoroughly. Keep melted chocolate warm. Dip the cooled centers, using a toothpick, quickly, into the melted chocolate. Place the candy back onto the waxed paper. Dribble a small amount of chocolate over the holes. Cool 1/2 hour.
