Joan's raspberry flapjacks

On my first day in my new job, my line manager made some raspberry flapjacks for our first team meeting. The idea was that we'd sit around over a cup of tea and the flapjacks and chat about what I'd be doing for the next 18 months. Everyone agreed that the flapjacks were amazing, they were probably the best I've ever tasted.

I've taken the basics of Joan's recipe and adapted it to suit what I wanted from them, I wanted them to be gooey, sticky and with a bit of a punch from the raspberries. These flapjacks are not of the healthy variety, don't let the fruit fool you.
