White sugar crystals are clear crystal sugars whose grains are larger than granulated or sanding sugar. It can be found in the baking aisle of some groceries, housewares and craft stores, and online specialty stores.

Granulated sugar can be used in place of the white sugar crystals. Color of sugar will be more muted.
