Maison Blanc | Croissants

French bakery specialists Maison Blanc are launching a competition with the chance of winning two of their famous croissants and a hot drink for two at any of their cafes. The competition is to suggest ideas of flavours for their "Le Dunque" croissants, and the best ideas will win the aforementioned prize.

In order to win the competition, customers should tweet with #LeDunque along with their favourite croissant dunking moments @MaisonBlancUK.
