Preheat the oven to 350°F. Get out an 8-inch square baking pan. Line it with parchment paper so it hangs over the sides like handles.
If using whole chestnuts, grind into a fine powder in a food processor.
In a food processor or a mixing bowl, add the eggs, water, butter, sweetener, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the cocoa powder, salt, soda, and mix well to a pudding-like texture.
Spoon into baking pan. Bake for 40 – 45 minutes, until center is soft set. Allow to cool 15 minutes, cut into squares and eat.

Stir in one cup chopped nuts before baking, if desired.
