BBQ U: How to Light a Grill
Is this your first Summer to face a grill? If so, don't be afraid to face the coals head-on: we've got you covered with a new series, BBQ U, where we coach you on all the fundamentals of grilling, and then some. First things first: firing up the grill. It may sound like a no-brainer, but when you're playing with fire, you'd rather be safe than sorry.
Depending on whether you're working with a gas or a charcoal grill, your instructions for heating will be rather different. If you're working with a new grill, as always, be sure you've read the instructions particular to your grill, and then follow some basic grill-starting guidelines.
Nestlé Crunch: The First Candy Bar to Partner With Girl Scout Cookies
We did a double take when we received these Nestlé Crunch Girl Scout candy bars. And we weren't the only ones; today, the PopSugar editors couldn't keep their eyes off of these bars, strategically positioned at the edge of my desk to lure taste testers.
The Girl Scouts of America are celebrating their 100th anniversary, and they have developed the first candy bar partnership ever with Nestlé Crunch. The bars hit stores nationwide as of June 1, but get them while you can, because when the limited-edition candy bar is gone, it's gone. Nestlé anticipates the bars will sell out by September. While there's no mention of the proceeds that Nestlé Crunch is giving the nonprofit to form the partnership, we think it must have been astronomical if the Girl Scouts were willing to reveal their secret recipes!
We had the privilege of trying all three flavors: Caramel & Coconut, Peanut Butter Crème, and Thin Mints. Take a look at our review, and find out if we deem the unexpected partnership a success!

Let's Dish: What's Your Go-To Barbecue Sauce or Dry Rub?
It's grilling month on YumSugar, and if you ask us what makes our flame-licked meat so delicious, we'll tell you that the secret's in the sauce (or dry rub). Each individual seems to have a different definition of true barbecue from the next, with a choice sauce or dry rub (or both) that takes meat to the next level. Perhaps you're all about the dry rub, a spice set of sugar, chili powder, and a variety of dried herbs that's rubbed into the meat right before cooking. Or maybe you gravitate toward barbecue sauces, which contain dry rub ingredients, along with ketchup, vinegar, or water. You might marinate the meat into the sauce, slowly cook it with the sauce, or possibly serve it on the side only. Tell us: what do you use to make your barbecued meats indescribably drool-worthy?

Grilled Chile Lime Corn So Good, You Won't Believe Your Ears

A Summer backyard barbecue isn't complete without sweet ears of corn, so why is that key element often the most lackluster on the plate? This season, we're grilling up succulent, juicy ears that pack as much flavor as the rest of the cookout spread. We've taken a stab at a famous Mexican street food delicacy, and today we return south of the border for more corny inspiration.

This recipe relies on an old corn favorite — butter and salt — but gets its punch from a squirt of lime, a dash of chili powder, and a spray of cilantro. The grilling technique, inspired by Rick Bayless, uses the husks to trap in all that juicy goodness during the first cooking stage, but then you peel back that protective jacket to soak in the flavors of the grill. What results is a blend of sweet, tangy, spicy, salty, and herbaceous profiles that you'll want to gnaw right down to the cob.

Ready to bone up on your corn grilling repertoire? For the recipe, keep reading.
