I have a hard to believing you would use an entire package of powdered sugar!! Maybe a cup, but not an entire box!! Could you please confirm the amount of powdered sugar?

Sounds great; however, you need to clarify size of stick of butter (tbsps.), what size package of cream cheese (oz.) and size of box powdered sugar.

My guess for the butter is a quarter pound, as for the cream cheese, I'm also guessing the 8 oz package. But I'm with you on the powdered sugar. I buy that in a bag, not a box, and that is too much sugar. You wouldn't be able to eat it. I hope my comment is correct and helpful. I may try this with just a cup of confectionery sugar. Good luck.
