Rocket candy, also known as "sugar rocket" or "candy rocket," is a type of solid rocket propellant made primarily from a mixture of sugar and an oxidizer, commonly potassium nitrate (KNO3). The sugar serves as the fuel, while the oxidizer provides the necessary oxygen for combustion. In its simplest form, the ingredients are often combined in a specific ratio, heated to facilitate mixing, and then formed into a solid mass.
