Dunk your croissants in Maison Blanc's competition

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. Winners will be selected at random from the twitter response.

The competition follows the creation of three new croissants to the Maison Blanc range. These are entwined the café’s “Le Dunque” initiative, which encourages people to dunk their croissants into whichever hot drink they choose when they eat in one of the branch’s cafes.

The first of the new croissants is the Pistachio croissant, which is filled with pistachio cream and is topped with pistachio nuts embedded in fondant. The second is titled the Red Velvet Croissant, which has a cream cheese centre and is decorated with a red ribbon-esque pattern. The third new Croissant is a variation on the chocolate croissant, which is filled with hazelnut and chocolate.
