It's Confectioners sugar. White powdered sugar. It will be in the same area as sugar in the grocery but it usually comes in a box. Probably close to the brown sugar. Good Luck!

Confectioners or powdered sugar
This sugar is granulated sugar ground to a smooth powder and then sifted. It contains about 3% cornstarch to prevent caking. Powdered sugar is ground into three different degrees of fineness. The confectioners sugar available in supermarkets – 10X – is the finest of the three and is used in icings, confections and whipping cream. The other two types of powdered sugar are used by industrial bakers.

Confectioners' sugar, also known as powdered or icing sugar, is a finely pulverized sugar that dissolves quickly and is often used to provide a thin, white decorative coating. To prevent it from absorbing moisture in the air and caking, manufacturers often add a little cornstarch. Store sugar indefinitely in an airtight container.
For other types of sugar, see brown, coarse, demerara, granulated, palm, pearl, raw, and superfine sugars, and colored sugar crystals and multicolored sprinkles.

Confectioners' sugar and powdered sugar are the same thing. I believe it is a regional thing on which term is used in recipes. In the northwest, where I live, we call it powdered sugar and use that term in our recipes. I noticed that most of the southern cookbooks call it confectioners' sugar.

I think you may have a spelling error. Confectioner's sugar is what you are looking for, also commonly called powdered sugar. To read more about it I have provided you with a link.

It's CONFECTIONER's sugar. It is very fine milled, and used for making candy. You can either put your own regular sugar ina blender to make it fine, or buy it at the store.

I believe you mean confectionary sugar...sugar used to make smooth candies. It is powered sugar or what they call xxx sugar or suprafine sugar. It has been powdered to be more blendable and smoother...no granules.
