Cherry, Fig and Rose Bubble Slice

This is another of those quickly made, no bake slices. Gluten free, providing you use gluten free rice puffs. It seems that rose flavour is something you either like or not, if making this slice for an unknown audience use less rosewater in the topping or omit it alltogether. I have a few friends who adore the rose flavour so if I make it for them I add a little more than is in the slice and at least four teaspoons in the topping.
