No, you can use table sugar. Mix it with the right oxidizer (potassium nitrate usually), and you have a fuel-oxidizer mixture. People use this mixture to make homemade model rocket engines sometimes.

Interesting. I would guess though that the finer grind sugars would lend themselves to faster reaction rates. Or is it not enough of a difference to matter?
