Rasberry Macaroon Slices

When it comes to slices this is always a fave.
I have made these many times and they were a hit with my son as he was getting older and started school,I would put these in his lunch box.
Remember there is a lot of sugar and butter in this recipe, so don't give the child too much, make the size small.
