Annoyingly, the answer you will get is "it depends".
It depends on the nozzle design, grain density, grain profile (because more surface area determines burn rate).

Sugar rockets supposedly have a specific impulse of 115 to 130 seconds, so if you have an estimate for your mass flow (you can get a very rough average by dividing propellant mass by burn time), you can calculate your theoretical average thrust.
