How to Make Sweet Peat

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
  5. Add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the Sweet Peat cool completely in the pan before cutting into small squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for easier cutting and to enhance the rich texture.
  9. Serve and enjoy this unique and intensely chocolatey Christmas treat! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
