Hi LJ, while it's safe to consume our Baking Sugar Alternative raw, PJ has some cautionary comments in her blog post about how to substitute our BSA for confectioners' sugar:  "Thankfully, our BSA is known for its great taste; when used in baking, you’ll never notice anything “off” with your baked goods’ flavor. However, when BSA is consumed “raw” — e.g., the erythritol hasn’t been dissolved either by baking, or by heating in liquid — it’s possible some people may sense a bit of coolness. For this reason, you may not want to substitute BSA for confectioners’ sugar in unbaked fillings, frostings, and toppings. (One exception: frosting recipes where the BSA is heated in liquid first, such as this Swiss Buttercream Frosting.)"
