It’s always a joy to see our packaging used by home and garden lifestyle queen, Martha Stewart. Within the most recent issue of Martha Stewart Living, we noticed our very own Flower Edge Boxes and Baker’s Twine being used to package a decadent batch of chocolate truffles.
Needless to say, we got very excited at the mention and proceeded to channel that energy into making ourselves a batch of our very own sweet treats. Learn how to make Martha Stewart’s No-Fuss Truffles and package them up for Valentine’s Day today!
