Cups are a volume measurement rather than a weight measurement. I've given you a link below for converting lots of things that are normally sold by the pound into the amount of cups. Granulated white sugar is 2 1/4 cups per pound while brown sugar (it doesn't say how well packed it is) reads 3 1/2 cups per pound. Enjoy your candy!

We know that 1 cup of water weighs 8 ounces, but honey, as an example, is thicker than water, so 1 cup of honey actually weighs in at 12 ounces. Powdered sugar right out of the box or the plastic bag weighs 4 1/2 ounces per cup, so a 1-pound box (or 16 ounces) contains about 3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. If a recipe calls for sifted powdered sugar, weigh out 4 ounces of sifted powdered sugar to equal 1 dry measuring cup.
