You undoubtedly want solid propellant as recommened by fpbp
But you also need to read this book, because it is at once hilarious and fascinating:

Rocket fuel makes for shitty explosions, Mr. Fedman.
While they are both highly energetic, rocket fuels are trying to produce a sustained and consistent power output along a single vector over flight time.
Explosives try to put out all their energy in the shortest possible time. The only place where there might be a little overlap is a desire for directionality. But a shaped charge does not a rocket nozzle make.

Most hobbyists use black powder or rocket candy because it's relatively safe and easy to make. Then there's the big boy stuff which isn't all that much more complicated chemically but the ingredients cost more and most hobby rockets really don't need the extra power

Fuck you Mr. Fedman

Next time try the language "picrel" I only lurk here and even I caught that. Get good faggot.

As others already said Tech ingredients. This guy also has a series on designing and building a solid rocket motor
